I Felt It Move:
So I was out in my parents gaff on Friday night (yes the same parents as Matt) and the feckin electricity was gone due to gale force winds, not impressed basically and neither was my Mam, she called the girl in ESB and was told that this was only happening because of the increase in the amount of new gaffs over the past few years, Mam?s response was basically ?I don?t f*cking think so, this has been happening for 20 years? and then she realised that she was talking to someone in Cork!! Anyway, I got bored very quickly and was getting a headache from trying to read the Irish Times Magazine (from two weeks ago) by candle light, so I fecked off down to my sister Becca?s house. Becca is VERY pregnant and therefore unable to move about much so we just sat on the couch for ages chatting and getting all excited about the baba and making bets with her husband about the sex of the baba etc. Anyway, so then she was all ?Ooooh? and told me to touch the belly and I FELT THE FECKIN BABA MOVING!!! It was weird like a little alien thing inside her, I think it was an elbow or something, it must be so squishy inside the belly. The first thing that she said to me was not ?isn?t it amazing? or anything like that, no my lovely sister says ?don?t you start feckin crying? I was disappointed cause I could feel myself well up. I am a sap, did you not know this already? Anyway, now it feels more real to me, like there is an actual human there. So in 6 and a half weeks (hopefully) it will be born and it will be deadly!! Woohoo! In other weekend news, I worked my nixer in the restaurant yesterday, and me and Rob (yes just two of us) did 200 covers all day, crazy busy but not up the caca once, bizarre! We had great fun belting each other with wet tea towels and generally annoying the shite out of each other. Also the restaurant was reviewed last week, I think they must have paid of the reviewer, they were going on about how great the manager was, he is a knob of the highest order and basically the creepiest man I have ever had the displeasure to meet. In one word: YOCK! Anyway that was it, my weekend, not as exciting as putting together flat pack furniture, but then again, how could it compare!

I felt it move too! It was totally weird. I think it was a foot or knee I felt though (total extrapolation on my part there), like the Babba was stretching it's legs or something.
Anyhoo, yeah. It's a bit more real now. There's a real, tiny little person in there, and soon it will be out, and we'll have to buy him/her Christmas presents too.

Aw sorry if you were disappointed Babs, I didn't mean it, I could just see your eyes well up and I was afraid I'd be cryin' as well... sowwy!!
Yes it's very real now folks, 6 weeks on Wed, I packed the baby bag this morning... can't believe this thing in my belly will be in those winnie the pooh babygros soon. Aw shucks I'm welling up now. :-)

Can I be like an honorary auntie? Like one who gets to cuddle and hold baby when baby is all cute and adorable but gets to hand baby back when baby is grumpy and sick. Unlike real aunties who have to hold baby while it is sick all over their nice new jacket.

I wasn't really disappointed, I did need a good cry though! I don't mind if it pukes all over my new jacket, just as long as it is a good baba and pays for my dry cleaning!! :) Babygro tastic! Cannot actually wait to kiss its face off!

Nikki, you're going to have to learn that if you want to love and cuddle babies, you also have to deal with the drool and puke and poo. ;-)
And even more so if it's your baby (OMG did I just say that?!).

OMG!!! You have to have a baby toooooo!! Go on!

OMG - Can we change the subject? (panic)

OMG OMG OMG!!! :-)
Babies shall be forthcoming whenever (if ever) we decide we are mature enough to have one (err... well, when Nikki's mature enough, I don't think I will be until I have one of my own in my arms, then I'll be like OMG!).
