BIRTHDAY ... AND A SCAN

So.... it's me Birthday today.  I'm going to open my present a bit later on in the morning, after I get home from...

BEX'S 12 WEEK SCAN!

Steve, Bex, Dante and I are off first thing this morning to Botany for her first scan.
I get to see my next Grandbaby on my Birthday!

How utterly cool is that?  I'm thrilled to bits and can't wait to see him/her.

It's far too early to tell what gender baby is.  Everyone is hoping for a wee girl... I think it's a boy.

Time will tell of course.


ABOVE:  Teaching Dante to be in control of Teddy.  Once he can assert himself as 'superior' to the dog, Teddy will stop nipping him.  I hope.

More on my parking fine/infringement.
I got a fine yesterday for overstaying in the Warehouse carpark, even though I've parked there for over 18 months while working at the Hospice Shop.  Never had a problem, cos I had never seen a sign stating time limits before.

To prove the point:

ABOVE:  I got this photo off Google Earth, that's how the entrance to where I usually park looked for the past 18 months when I parked there.

I am going to take another photo today and show how it looks now.


As it's my BIRTHDAY, I'm hoping to HEAR from ALL of my kids today.  Hmmmm..... 5 managed to remember last year...

Right, I'm off to see the newest Grandbaby to be.


ONWARD...


Our newest baby is a right wriggler!  So bloody cute... and so neat to see him/her today of all days.

I have a photo:


 ABOVE:  No # 13, cute little bugger.


 PRESENTS~!

 ABOVE:  Cute little Mini from Steve, Bex and Dante.


 ABOVE:  YES... it was a piece of Britto in the box!  Stew got me this darling teapot.  
Feeling very spoilt.

Kelly has given me two little fish she made and has 'shouted' Stew and I to dinner tonight.  We are going to Lonestar, I love their dinners.


ABOVE: My impressive Britto collection... Love all of them.  So bright and cheerful.

Finally for now... a little scan video:



ABOVE:  No # 13 at 12 weeks and 4 days.  Or thereabouts.


 ABOVE: There ya go, brand new sign... and I sure in hell didn't notice it yesterday!  If I had, I wouldn't have parked there ... that's for sure.
*sigh*, now to try and appeal the fine.  


ABOVE:  I dropped off three bar stools to the Hospice Shop, and got these two Italian serving dishes... fell in love with them.  The little one stacks into the bigger one.  How cool are they?

Stew and I are now heading out for dinner at Lonestar... I can't wait.  It's been a good long while since we were there.  I'm having their Hoover Hog, it's to die for.

Well... dinner was WONDERFUL!  We only had a main at the end of the day, as we know their mains are HUGE.  And wow, my pork was AMAZING!  I let the chef know just how much I enjoyed it too.  We opted not to have dessert cos we were too full!

It was lovely just chatting and enjoying our own company, and some day we will do it more often!

THANK YOU to everyone that wished me Happy Birthday, it helped make my day.  {{{HUGS}}}

Sadly, the one person I had hoped to hear from didn't bother.  

End of Day:  one of the nicest birthdays I've had in a while.

    Happy birthday mumsy, I hope you have a great day (of course you will you get to see your newest grandbaby). I'm sure you'll enjoy dinner alone with dad, I'm sure the kids will be well behaved for Bex and I, well let's hope so for their sake.

    To think your only 56 and not a single wrinkle on that face, I'm surprised you still don't get asked for id.

    Love you lots, will see you after work (although as I type this I am right next to you in the waiting room for the scan haha).

    Kind regards,

    Number one in your heart and number 5 from your womb.
