As fast as you can

Yesterday I got on the tradmill to do my usual really fast walk but it felt a bit boring, so I decided to put a little bounce in to it and  started running. Oh my word, I have never felt so liberated in all my life! I managed to clock two kilometers in 15 minutes, please bare in mind that I am not a runner and have always hated the idea of running and so am pretty pleased with myself. I was even more pleased with the fact that I could have upped the pace at some stage and when I reached my 15 minute mark, I felt I could have gone on for another 5 minutes.

I have eight KG's left to loose from the pregnancy and since I have found my new love, hope it won't take too long to do!

Much Love

Simply Stunning!

Little Hanna

After one false labour little Hanna finally arrived in a hurry on the 12th of December after a 55 minute labour. It was touch and go as to whether we were actually going to make it to the hospital or if her birth certificate was going to read “Toyota Landcruiser @ Bowsher traffic lights’’! We thankfully made it to the hospital with about ten minutes to spare and Hanna arrived 00.50.

Three Days old

Noora kept her distance in the beginning as she was extremely disgusted by the umbilical cord! Abdulla has been fascinated by all the poop!

We are in love!

We Finally Made It!

I am ecstatic to report that we are finally in our new home and we love it. I am very nearly done with the unpacking and have even managed to purge more of our stuff over the past few days thanks to my mum's ruthlessness. Mama has been a gem, coming in for a couple of hours every morning and waving her whip to make sure that we keep going and I am thankfull for it. I did take to my bed feeling pretty unwell the day after we moved in, but a day in bed was just what the doctor ordered and have been raring to go since. All that's left to do now is the sewing room/office and to unpack the hubby's three suitcases and then we'll be done and ready to start getting all the baby things taken out of storage, washed and organised.

I havent had the time to take any pictures but we really are in a lovely little community and the park is only  three houses down, we have a garden (still a sand pit) and so the kids have been spending every minute they can either at the park or riding the bikes around the garden.

I can tell that we will be very happy here. 

Much Love
