Exciting arrival from England!
Well, Chris very very nicely went all the way to New Ash Green to collect Evangeline's push chair on Wednesday. He brought it back to Houston today and it is FABULOUS! We tried it out with a baby troll (strictly inside only) and we really love it. Auggie already looks like a proud Daddy!
The customs man at IAH looked at Chris a bit funny though. I think he wondered why on earth anyone would by a stroller in England and bring it back to America . . .
Evangeline is kicking some more. She enjoyed the new Harry Potter a LOT! I took her back for a second viewing last Sunday. She is also very large - or at least she feels that way. I am carrying very high so I look massive and I weigh more than I ever thought possible. I am slightly frightened by the "one pound a week" thing that apparently is forthcoming. I am also nearly too big for some of Auggie's t-shirts which is REALLY sad. So much for shopping in your husband's closet!! Of course baby is completely worth it and I can't WAIT for December!!!!

19/20 Weeks!
Well, my belly is getting HUGE and I feel rather like a marshmallow but things are good!
Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound. Auggie was able to attend this one which was very exciting for him. We saw all the important parts of Evangeline! She had her hand to her forehead in drama queen pose for a good amount of the time! Like mother like daughter . . . . I think her little feet were very cute too.
Unfortunately, the u/s lady was a bit mean and gave us really rubbish pictures. I will post them up here at some point but you really can't see much. She was running 30 mins late even though I was the first appointment of the day and then rushed through ours. I was annoyed! Still, it was so lovely to see baby happy and healthy. Mummy (Nana) enjoyed it too!
Evangeline is starting to kick me more and more. She likes mince pies and gives me a bit of a kick whenever I finish eating one. She has kicked Auggie's hand a couple of times too. I am looking forward to feeling her more, although I have it on good authority that this feeling will disappear by 30 weeks when she is huge and using me for martial arts practice.
Anyhoo - that's the most recent update! Everything is good!!

Well, Evangeline's closet has been expanding again. She received her first swimsuits for next summer from Debbie. They are so cute. I wanted to buy an adorable dress yesterday but Auggie cut me off, reminding me that we are going to get a LOT of clothes from other people. I suppose he is right but why should everyone else get all the fun????
We have discovered that the best shop in the entire universe - Mothercare - will ship nappies to the USA. YAY! They have the BEST nappy starter kit and we intend to get two. This gives us 24 of the best quality nappies for regular day use and then we can use Bum Genius for days when she needs to be extra pretty.
Apparently you can't buy NappiSan here so we will have to make to with something else.
Other than my excitement with nappies (which is probably not shared by anyone else) this has been a quiet week. I am looking forward to feeling her kick more as the weeks go on and we get to see her again on the 14th! yay!
