Some news

So what is going on lately? We have finally decided on a name for our little wigglemonster, Gregor Todd Stewart. Although I do think it will be near impossible for me to call him by his name- I think in not too many years he will be begging me not to call him wiggle in front of his friends :)


Because I have had blood pressure problems throughout this pregnancy the doctors have asked me to work part-time & do extra testing, they check his amniotic fluid, heartbeat & my bloodpressure. It has been going very well, and it is really fun to see my baby on a regular basis :) Last week he was playing with his toes- it was quite adorable - this picture shows how bent in half he was to do it:

He also had his first bout of hiccups this weekend & a couple of times since. It is actually a bit fun for me but you can't help but feel bad for him- I hate when I get the hiccups.


We have almost finished all our classes, tomorrow is the last of the childcare class, we should learn child safety and baby cpr (I hope they don't put the cpr dummy on the floor- I'm not sure I could get back up again).


In baby other than mine news, my nephew Xander is doing well- he has had a cold but he is doing lots and lots better as you can see:


isn't he cute? I'm hoping he continues to do well and they can take him home soon.

Hope everyone is great, talk to you soon.

Scottish Festival and Highland Games



This weekend was the annual Scottish Festival and Highland Games at Thanksgiving Point. It was also the first time that I have worn the Kilt that I had made when we went to Scotland last September. All in all it is a pretty comfortable garment, just don't ask what I had on underneath it...



Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like live Pipes and Drums. Hopefully our little growing baby has now developed a taste for the pipes, because he will be hearing a lot of it in our home.


It was a good festival this year. Anyone that did not attend missed out. There were more live bands than usual, and more scottish food choices than in the past. Mmmm...Scotch eggs!
