Howdy, both of us have not really not been up to much this winter – I’ve been busy at work with quite a few projects for TVNZ in progress and enjoying these. 

House DIY is slowly progressing and waiting for some fine weather to measure up the backyard so Amanda can use her landscaping skills she obtained on a course to design it. We hope to get the a new backyard built before summer arrives.

and the BIG news is…..

Amanda is pregnant.  Been trying for a while and finally it happened so we are both really happy!  Amanda is due late January 2009 so will be doing all those pre baby things before our life changes significantly. (I need a boys holiday!!). 

We went for the 12 week scan a couple of weeks ago and all is well. The bean sized person has a head, 2 arms and legs and all they are all in the right places. Hit home when I saw it “live” in the scan and made me really starting thinking about being a Dad (Shit!! – but guess most of you have already been through all this and will start giving me all that advice on how my life will never be the same again!)

Amanda is doing well and so far the pregnancy has been pretty good with only mild symptons, being tired, hungry and weeing a lot more.  I’m fine too except for the occasional reality check when I look into the future, but guess I move to #3 in the pecking order of the family now so I don’t count
