Caitlin (being a nudie!~)  got to spend some time with her new cousin Mackenzie which was great as she hasnt really seen many babies. She is abit jealous when either of us or her Nanny was holding Mac but she was actaully really good with her giving her toys to play with and squatting down looking at her! LOL!

We brought her some floaties so she can swim "by herself"in the pool and she loved it so much! She really is a water baby. Her Aunty Stacy and her had lots of fun in the pool, couting to 3 and jumping into Stacys arms! Such a clever girl!

She loved the beach too! No fear of the waves, she copped a facefull a few times but she kept going back for more and wanting to go deeper and deeper! And the seagulls were great fun as she tried to catch them, the was rather devestated that they kept flying away from her though!

And there was lots of horsing around with her Aunties and Uncle. Caitlin really enjoyed having so many people around the house, I think she must get bored when it is only her and me! This is her Aunty Kerry (Macs mum) who she has only met once but who she decided was fantastic!

Overall the weekend was fantastic and we are heading down again tonight for Stacy's wedding on Saturday! Going to be great! So hope everyone has a great weekend and will catch up with you all next week!

Well we have definately been busy little beavers. We left brisbane on Tuesday night and went down to Daniels mums. We got there around 11 their time due to the time difference and everyone else had really only just got there too. This is the first time in years that all the kids have been together due to overseas travels, pregnancies and whatnot so it was rather exciting! So after awhile Caitlin and I went to bed and Daniel crawled in at some ungodly hour after drinking with his brother.

The next day was the day of the funeral, a lovely overcast kinda drizzly day which seemed fitting. It honestly was a lovely service given by Uncle Vincey who was poppy's brother in law and daniel and caitlin and the other kids did a tribute with little objects (as grandkids and great-grandkids) which was lovely, and tearjerking at the same time. Caitlin was good but was prone to wandering so I didnt really concentrate too hard which is good for me as I didnt want to have a massive breakdown. The lowering of the body was the hardest thing, so sad, getting a little teary thinking about it. Caitlin made everyone smile though as there was a basket of rose petals and everyone scattered some over the coffin as it was lowered so after everyone was done she grabbed teh basket, sat by the edge of the grave and proceeded to drop the rest in one by one. Uncle Vincy loved it especially, it was kinda simbolic and at least helped everyone with their pain a little.

So after that long day was over we all went home and ate spag bol.

As daniels eldest sister is getting married there on the weekend all the other kids are staying there for the week, his parents are stoked, its not often they get this much of our time, and all at once is non existant so they have loved it! We stayed there till today, but spent Saturday night out at my mums, (we cant stay there for almost a week and not see her!) and stopped in to see my darling friend Erin who is due the same time as me. It was great to see her, she is HUGE! I will post some pics after I get them off my camera! So overall we honestly had a ball, went to the beach a few times which Caitlin loves, there was alot of drinking done by everyone except me! And also a fair bit of lazing around watching movies and just chilling.

I honestly have had the best time, it was a shame that we had to come home, we both need to work though, especially for my pay as I am a casual so no work no pay, and I am already down to just one day this week cause of Monday. But we will be back down on Thursday night for the wedding on Saturday and I am really looking forward to it!

Daniels eldest sister Stacy and Chris are coming up tomorrow afternoon to stay the night so they can get tot eh airport early and pick up chrises parents so we get to show off our new house! YAY! So, on that note, I had better go and do a little cleaning!

Hope everyone had a fantastic easter!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their lovely words and thoughts from my last blog. It was lovely to read and really does make you feel better.

The funeral is on Wednesday so although it is going to be a sad day it is also abit of a relief as he was sick and really just wanted to go, now he is with Nanny and I am sure that they are both happy.

Thanks again, I am sorry I didnt respond to everyones comments, this way was just easier.

Daniels grandad passed away on Thursday. We are just glad that we got the last chance to see him on the weekend.

The funeral is next week so we will be going down for it and probably going to stay over the easter long weekend.

Ok, its a girl, We have established that. So now we need a name.

______ Jennifer Foster.  Just fill in the blank for me! Keeping in mind that she will have a sister called Caitlin Ashley Foster.

I'm currently loving Alexis and Daniel likes Abbey but we have nothing that we both love!

We had another good weekend this weekend. We went down 'home" to visit the family. My brother came down as well so mum got to watch the kids play together which was fantastic for her. You know, its funny, we can go months without seeing my brother even though we are the closest and only live an hour away from each other and lately we have been seeing them every weekend and probably will this weekend too! How funny the world works!

So Jayden and Caitlin had lots of fun playing at Nannies. They live in the bush and have lots and lots of land for them to run amuck on. They LOVED the cows and the horses, but I couldnt make Caitlin feed the cows from her hand, she kept throwing the bread at them and scaring them! LOL! Oh well, she wasnt afraid of them at all!

We went to visit Caitlins great grandad in hospital while we were down there. It was sad, he is not well, he has lost so much weight and just looked skeletal in the bed. He was very glad to see Caitlin though even though he was wheezing pretty bad and had a oxygen mask on so he scared her. He had a little laugh at my belly too, its grown so much since Christmas which was the last time he saw me.

Hope everyone is ok and that Bel, they find out what is wrong with you soon and you get better!

Here is Caitlin chilling out with her cousin Jayden. They are only one day apart!

Or, as the ultrasound man said, "I cant see any boy bits".

So everything is fine, I may have to go back for a 30 week scan just to check on some things but it depends on what my doctor thinks, so I will have a chat to her when I get there.

The little darling spent the whole time trying to suck her thumb, you can see her arm in front of her face in the scan there.

So that was great, he gave us a little CD with the pics and some little video footage on it to keep, so cool! Its all getting exciting again! And being another girl I dont have to buy anything! LOL! Cheaper option for me!

Today we are off to the hospital for my first appointment there. Daniel is coming along too, and its his birthday today! Happy Birthday Daniel! The poor bugger, stuck at the hospital all day with me! LOL! Oh well, he offered to come!

Then tomorrow we have our 20 week scan and will (fingers crossed) find out what sex the baby is! Oh I hope we do, I am so excited!

So anyways, have fun all!
