Making 'soup'

A lot has happened this past month! We had Jachin and Alisi stay with us for a week starting at Easter. The girls absolutely loved having their uncle and aunt around (Abigail still asks when they'll be back); Jon and I enjoyed the company and conversation - many late nights were had! Other rellies were caught up with the following weekend as they gathered (from the UK and Victoria) for the wedding of Rachel (Jon's cousin) and Sharn. It's always so nice to have family gatherings, especially when everyone lives so far apart now.

Uncle Jachin was much employed on the trampoline!

I have been unwell for most of the past month, being plagued with nausea or tiredness or both. Nevertheless, we are very pleased to have our third little one on the way! I do look forward to reaching the end of this first trimester - as with my previous pregnancies, the all-day sickness is back and I am struggling with preparing meals that the thought or smell of doesn't nauseate me. But we have yet to go hungry, so are getting there. While an unpleasant time, I am thankful that all the progesterone (the culprit of pregnancy sickness) coarsing through my blood is sustaining our littlest one's life. I will be even more thankful when I've reached the second trimester, the placenta takes over and the sickness ends! :)

The girls are doing well. Abigail has been more of a chatterbox than usual of late - hence she is currently being taught how to be quiet when told! I'm a little teapot is her current favourite song. Sarah is trying out new words and is as mischievous as ever. Her hair is growing longer and curlier which makes her cheeky face even cuter! They are indeed growing up so fast.
