Sickness and beauty

I am up again. This time it is 4am instead of 5. Blasted colds. They always catch me in my lungs. Ever since I can remember but especially those years in Thailand where I seemed to develop a mould allergy, my lungs have always been week. I am glad D is filming in the Middle East at the moment because I don’t have to worry about him worrying while I sit up sipping tea and contemplating the meaning of it all at this time of day.

A few days ago, like I mentioned, was our one year anniversary for our public wedding. We woke up early, after a restless nights sleep, to go into town and watch the May Day celebration. Morris dancers, with bells on their knees, danced into the morning while the mist burned off the Weald. On our way the calves were nursing and snuggling their mothers in the pasture next to our house.

I managed to capture the hue of my life at the moment.

That photo is STUNNING! What a world you live in.

Did you find out the sex of your baby & are you planning on sharing it with us? (Forgive me if I missed this somewhere - that's the thing about having a baby of your own, you get crazy busy).

Yes, we did. Didn't get much of a response to the last blog post so I thought I wouldn't post it. Looks like we are having a girl!

I love having a girl! Of course, I would be saying the same thing if I had a boy. Really the "as long as it is healthy" cliche is so true. I kept saying "as long as I don't have to make the decision after the baby comes out I don't care what we have." Ha!
