The week that was...

So not much really happens in my daily life that I can blog about so I thought I would just give you a summary of my last week and half for those of you who want to know :)

I had my obstetrician appointment last Friday 2nd July. All went well and the baby was beating his/her little heart out (nearly bought me to tears hearing it!). My weight seems to be fine and the doc said that everything is all hunky dory. Our next appointment is for the 20 week scan...time is flying! Still waiting for our little bundle of hope to start kicking though...I think my impatient ways are kicking in as I am desperately trying to feel this baby kick. I lie down after dinner and touch my tummy desperate to feel a kick...probably kicking and I don't even know it. Thought I would post a photo of me doing this...not sure why just felt like it.

Anyway, what else...work work work, nothing too exciting...ooh my new passport finally came through, am officially a Mrs Gallagher! But apart from that the only other major thing that happened last week that is worth mentioning is that England lost against Germany (4-1) in the world cup. Disgraceful I tell you...staying up until 2:30am ain't fun when your team loses. Daddy has promised me (well more like I have told him) that he will take me and the kids (hopefully we have 2 by then) to England in 2018 if they host the world cup, how cool would that be!

On another note, daddy and I are extremely excited about our honey/baby moon in the U S of A coming up in just under a month! we are both desperate for some relaxation time (more him than me) and we can't wait to get to Brisbane International airport and board that Qantas plane that will take us to LA. We are off for 2 glorious weeks of (hopefully) pure relaxation, a bit of luxury and some sight seeing. We are hiring a convertible (yes when in America you need to do the cheesy thing!) and we are driving to San Francisco stopping in Santa Barbara for a night and then Carmel for the second night. We are staying in SFO for 4 nights before flying to VEGAS....yeah baby!! this is the luxury part of our holiday as we are staying at the Bellagio (courtesy of the Yarraville crew who got us 3 nights a the Bellagio as our wedding present) and then one night at the Encore/Wynn hotel. So after 4 days of luxury hotel robes, slippers, fine dinning, grand canyoning, shopping and hopefully a cool show we will fly to LA for our last two days where we will be going to Universal Studios (thank you uncle Diego and uncle Daniel) as well as hopping on the red tour bus and getting and going for a tour of the Hollywood hills and trying to catch a glimpse some famous houses. Then back to Brisbane for some quick family bonding before heading back to Melbourne :(
