Michaela's now 2!!!!

Sometimes Daddy lets Michaela play in our bed before she goes to her own bed. This night everyone had to come along. Usually big teddy and ducky go to bed with her, but she seems to have brought little teddy along too.
On Sunday, 8th June, Michaela turned two! This year the party was at our house (we are taking turns with Owen). In the morning, we invited some of Michaela's friends along and everyone played really well together and seemed to have fun. Here's a picture of the spread of food. Take note, the small, round chocolate cake was the one Mommy made (with the football candles Michaela chose).
And here's the close up of the cake Lesley made. Please no comments on which one was better....

We invited family to come along in the afternoon. Granny Up-bye bought Michaela her first trike and she just loves it!

And Nicola came with a little Dyson for Michaela to be able to hoover with Mommy. And amazingly, it is just a smaller version of our actual one!
Michaela's been to that many birthday parties in the last 4 weeks, I think she imagines we go to one every week! Which is actually true this time of year, we've got one this weekend and probably one the weekend after too. Can't believe our two year old has a better social life than her parents!

Oh yeah, quick update on the twins. Went to twin clinic in Aberdeen on Tuesday and all's well with me and the twins. They were both lying head down and are measuring pretty normal in size. The doctor has told me I go to Aberdeen on August 12th, but if everything's still going well he'll send me home for another week, but no longer than that. I have to pack as if that's me down until the babies are born though. Fingers crossed I'll still be keeping as well as I am now!

May pics

Trying to catch up on the blog, so I thought I'd get the rest of the May pictures on. May was a brilliant month, weather wise, for Shetland, so we made the most of it by being outside a lot! Here's Michaela in the Bigton yoal - can't wait for her to join the under-16s team!
And she's started having to take teddy bear most places with her. A favourite is to put him in the stroller and push him through Bigton. This day she met up with Owen who took his baby along to the play park.
Daddy had to go away on a course for a few days, but he tried to phone as much as he could. This evening he caught her just before bed and I didn't think I'd get her off the phone!
Next blog should have birthday pictures as our little girl is now 2!!!!

Quick belly shot!

As we've had a few requests for a belly shot, here are a few. I think they were taken when I was just over 22 weeks (I'm now just over 24). Think this was about the size I was when I was 8 months pregnant with Michaela, so I dread to think how huge I'll actually get!


All's well though. Off to Aberdeen next week for my first 'twin clinic' - scary!
