Aimee's 30th Birthday

Hello, well, it was my birthday last week (the 18th) and we've been having a very busy time of it because of that! I took the day off and spent it relaxing and getting a pedicure. Brad had to work late that day but we had gone to see Harry Potter the day before and out for dinner on the Saturday night. This Saturday just gone (the 23rd) I had my 30th birthday party. My parents hosted it as they have a big garden and it was all decorated by Andy. It was a mad hatters tea party and the garden looked great with all the lights and a cheshire cat up the tree! Gemma made all the cakes which were multi-coloured and so tasty! It was fancy dress which was lots of fun!!
My mam and dad were Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd, Gemma was the queen of hearts, Andy a pirate, Brad was Thor,Marsha was a twister game, Niamh was someone attacked by an alien, Shirley Snow White, Graham- captain Jack sparrow, Leanne and Craig were the king and queen of hearts cards, emer and Francis were dressed up as a gangster and a 1920's flapper girl, Clementine was a can-can dancer and I think thats everyone. Oh and I was Alice from Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland! Im going to post photos needless to say it was a brilliant night and Brad and I were exhausted on Sunday.

Baby update

Hello everyone sorry it's been a while since we left a post but we have some news and some photos. The baby is doing well we had a scan this morning and the midwife was very happy. The baby was a bit shy, waving at us in the begining (wrigling its fingers) but then hiding its face! The baby stretched away while the heart was checked (which looked great). The brain, kidneys, bladder and spine all looked normal and we were happy to hear there appear to be no problems that they can tell.
Ive got some photos one of the baby's face side profile

one of the baby's foot

and one of the baby where you can see the spine.

Brad's birthday

Thank you everyone for the birthday greetings for Brad's birthday! He had a nice time out in Vermillion for dinner the Saturday before his birthday. We had 14 people out to dinner and then we went for some drinks after. Everyone had a good time even Brad who had the flu and was a bit under the weather.

The next day we went to the Tutankhamun exhibit in the RDS. It was very good you walk through the exhibit seeing it bit by bit as it was first seen by the archaeologists. Then you get to view all the treasures individually and as they are all replicas you get to view them up close and without glass in the way. It is very well done. Brad's birthday was on Tuesday. We just had some dinner and stayed in. Brad got lots of presents for his birthday though so he was happy.

Last night we watched the Eurovision which as usual was a bit of a laugh. Some of the songs were dire and that includes Jedward the Irish entry! Still we came 8th so we can't have been that disagreeable to the rest of europe!

Exciting news

Well last weekend we were at Shirley and Graham's wedding and we had a great time but then during the week we had a bit of excitement too. Brad and I are expecting a baby! And during the week we had our first scan! We got to see the baby for the first time and the bambino has little hands and fingers already! I'm 11 weeks now so the countdown has begun! So check out the scan photo. You can see a little hand up near the head.
