Family Outing - Rory 2.5 Months!

There was a car show in the Barossa the weekend of 27 March. Beautiful cars, nice weather ...

AND Aunty Janine...

Rory found his thumb that night....

Cooler Weather

It started to get cool at night in March and we did not have too many long sleeve tops to put on Rory... all of them were in the wash EXCEPT this girlie one... the photo is so cute I had to post it.

Visitors/Cousins

In February we had visitors from Melbourne and Rory got to meet his cousins - Chris, Naz and Eli. We went to the Fringe Festival . . .

Even though it does not appear this way in the photo - Rory loved watching Eli.

You guessed it.. more Rory :>)

I have taken a photo of Rory every day since leaving the hospital. However, I have not included them all here and have not put them in any kind of order....

Three of many afternoon siestas....

Aren't I adorable in my Elmo pants from Auntie Nicolette and Uncle Arne:

On our Way...

... to becoming parents.

Patiently waiting for Rory to come out...

40 Weeks and counting.....

Baby Nieuwoudt's Room

We have a sky light in the baby's room so Yvonne made us a cover for it that we can open and close depending on how much light we want to let in the room.

38 WEEKS

CHRISTMAS 2010

Yvonne and Norm came over for Christmas this year. Daryl didn't get home from work Christmas Eve until 530 AM so we had a bit of a sleep in Christmas morning.

Janine and her sister Vera came over for Christmas lunch.

Shower for Baby Nieuwoudt (36 WEEKS)

Mid December I was surprised with a baby shower. Daryl worked with my work mates to organize Skype with Canada and Melbourne..... thank you again everyone for the lovely gifts and shower. I had a fantastic day and felt very loved.

Val won the game where they had to estimate how big my belly was... you should have seen how big some of the guesses were!

My last day of work was on the 16 December. I found it very strange to clean out my desk for the year. And even stranger over the next few days. I am still unsure what to do with myself at times. I know we will be busy once Baby Nieuwoudt arrives but in the meantime I have been struggling to entertain myself (that is why I the blog is so up to date now).
