Merry ... um ... New Year
We've finally finished writing and sending all of our Christmas cards and presents destined for the UK, but given the distance that means they'll probably arrive after the big day itself. So, if you haven't received a card from us, don't worry it should be on its way! Thanks to everyone that volunteered to send us a care package of brussel sprouts - not sure why they are so hard to come by, as we got them easily last year. In reality, I don't think many people are going to miss them - we're already under instructions to cook them separately before we arrive at our friend's place, and I think I'm the only person that really likes them. Anna is still doing very well, and has begun to feel her Braxton Hicks contractions a little more - which is expected at this stage of pregnancy. She has also noticed that the baby must be practising her breathing a little more, as she (the baby) is occasionally getting hiccups. Finally, not that it gets much coverage here, but it looks like the England & Wales cricket team is going to record its eighth consecutive victory later today - good luck! Chrisposted at 1:27 pm
