We Have A Bun In The Oven!!



We have some very exciting news to share and sorry if you are reading this for the first time on our blog we tried to tell everyone prior to writing a post. As you can probably guess by the title of the post, we are pregnant and expecting a little girl on July 3rd. We are both so excited and Carl already has big plans for her to be daddy's little girl. I am doing really well and all is great with the pregnancy so far, except for maybe those first few pukey weeks. I have all my energy back now and I'm enjoying the second trimester. Here are a few pictures of my belly as it continues to grow each week. I am now 20 weeks along so half way - woo hoo! We have also attached a few early scans of the little peanut as well as a video of the 18 week ultrasound you can watch below(the first 20 seconds are kinda screwed up, but fast forward, it gets better). Carl has already turned her into a Youtube star. :) This is such an amazing experience and we can't wait to meet her come early July.

Wedding Bells



We attended Nikki and Noel's beautiful wedding earlier this month and here are a few pictures from the festive day. Carl works closely with Noel at Google and it was so nice to be a part of his special day with Nikki. The reception was near Luna Park with fabulous views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. It was a very fun evening and we wish them all the best.

Summer in Sydney


After a year it is still a little difficult to get your head around summer taking place from December to March but in Sydney it's the time of the year when the flip flops and swimming suits come out. By the way in Australia they call swimming suits for girls "Cossies" which is a nick name for swimming costumes. We have been having a fabulous time this summer and here are a few pictures from some of the various activities we have managed to get up to over the past month or so. There are some pics from Australia Day out on Sydney Harbour with friends from Carl's work. On a different weekend in January we went to a place called Pete's Bite that you can only get to by a boat. This was such a fun afternoon with amazing food, great friends and lots of dancing. The owners of the restaurant actually get up and play the guitar and sing which you will see in the pictures. Enjoy!
