_____________________________________


I've been thinking about this here blog and wondering if I shouldn't do a revival.

Or whether FB and twitter are enough... Do people really want to hear about how "hard" it was for me to buy my lunch today because the President of China was monopolising the streets of Paris?

Probably not.

Mon Petit Chaton

Meet Léna. Born April 25 at 23:37. Weighing in at a portly 3.470 kg (7.6 lbs) and 51 cm long (20 inches).

Older brother and sister are pleased as punch.

In Case You're Interested...

And I'm not letting this one anywhere near the pink girly nail polish.

SO HELP ME GOD!

Happy New Year!



Note after your initial comments of love:

LITTLE MISS NOT YET BORN!

This announcement is after the second ultrasound.

I wanted to announce the news that another 'butterfly bottom' would be among us soon and this was the only "It's a Girl" image I could find on the internet that didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out. Yes, there's a stork in the image, but no, Little Miss won't be making her appearance until sometime late April, early May. Believe me, when that day arrives, after all the complaining I'm bound to put the internet through via twitter and FB (at the very least), you'll be sure to have deets.

I wouldn't make you suffer through the 'OMFG, MAKE IT STOP!' messages without deets, dear internet. I'm not completely heartless.

However, this also proves that my communication skills are DIRE! Proof that my blogging skillz are zapped out. It didn't even occur to me that the stork would imply BIRTH!

KISSES! HUGS!
