Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers out there.
Guess I can't quite qualify yet, as no baby - and today is the 14th here in Australia. The second ultrasound date of the 18th May looks as though it may be the more accurate one.
So, nothing too exciting to report, I'm afraid. Went to 'town' on Friday (perhaps the last time for awhile?), and thought we would see a nice lighthearted movie, now that we have the time. I chose the new Woody Allen film, 'Match Point', expecting the traditional Woody comedy with neurotic dialogue. After about the first 10 minutes I knew something was different from usual. I won't give it away, but this was definitely a movie breaking from traditional for Woody Allen (it wasn't even in Manhattan and didn't feature him at all) - it was an intense psychological thriller that didn't end too nicely. My advice is - good movie, but don't see it when you're about to give birth!
On another note, I think Noah and I have taken the 'stocking up' business a little too far. This may be because we live a long way from the shops and know that getting to town again might be difficult after the baby arrives. Our freezer, fridge and kitchen shelves look as though we are preparing for Y2K, rather than the birth of a baby. We must have a million tins of food, plus we have cooked and frozen enough to eat for the next 2 weeks. I wonder how many soups I can make in the next week if the baby is later than expected? Oh well, if the world comes to an end suddenly, we will be well prepared.

Happy 'late' Mother's Day, Sis! :) Well, as I type, it's now about 3am, on your May 15th. Your mother's day has ended, and mine has just begun. You're no doubt probably peacefully sleeping as I write. Your nephew isn't able to locate the Mos. Day. gift he made me. It's lost in the 'black hole' of his room. Two words...'Boy' & 'Room'. Need I say more?! :) Love you, and next time I hear from you, I hope my niece/neph has entered the world. :) :) :) Cannuh-waiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!
Hang in there, all good things come in their own time!!
Great saying, pity the practice takes some doing.
Love Marcelle
Dearest Erica and Noah,
I don't know how you guys are coping because even me as your friend am going around the bend with waiting. I cant wait for the phone to ring with the great news that gidgit has arrived! Hope you are both keeping well and enjoying the peace and tranquility of your beaut new home, looked great when I saw it last.
PS if there is any left over soup you can always send it my way!
PPS if there is anything you have forgotten in your prep for YK2 than let me know and I will bring it from the city.
Love always Kylie
Hi Erica, Hi Noah,
I thought I'd take your sister's advice about going the Anonymous route. Just had a thought - Maybe baby is waiting till the end of semester? Only another week to go! Oh, I remember those waiting days so well. Hang in there. It's got to be soon now.
Michele
