How Time Flies

Three days is not long enough by any means. But you would be surprised how much you can fit in to that space if you try hard enough. And we tried!

I'm glad that we got most of the big stuff for the baby out of the way. We had fun shopping, raiding Carters and Babies 'R' Us for all sorts of stuff. I'm not sure Auds can quite believe her husband actually knows how to shop for things for a baby, but she may be coming round to the idea. Of course, the offer of a getting a free teddy bear if you spend so much helps encourage my purchasing power no end.

Being there for her 26 week doctor's appointment was worth the trip by itself. To hear the baby's heartbeat was a very special moment, one I had looked forward to for a long time. I was just a little disappointed that I had never been there to see the sonograms being done. Little did I know ..........

The other part of the trip was to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. Auds had told me that we needed to be somewhere by 9:00am on Saturday, but had never let on why. Even when I read the name next to the suite number of the building, I had no clue about what the surprise was. But the 3D/4D sonogram was the best present I could have had. Seeing our little girl, moving around, trying not to pose for us, was absolutely amazing. And the pictures are simply fantastic.

Add to that a superb anniversary dinner tonight, at the Audubon Rooms of the Inn By The Sea, and I have had a wonderful time. Tomorrow's flight back to England will, if all goes according to plan, be the last return leg of a plane ticket I get that goes East. By the start of December, I should be back on this side of the pond for good.

Looks like a busy month ahead for me, which is good for all the right reasons.

More from me soon.
