The NCT girls

Our antenatal classes are complete and we are now fully trained parents (NOT!). As you can see I found the instructions on about how to bath a plastic doll highly interesting!
Andy had to clean up a peanut butter filled nappy, grapple with the complexities of a shaped reusable nappy (with poppers )and bath the baby before it got too cold.

Its been really good getting to know the other 4 couples in the group. They are an enthusiastic and interesting people bunch who Andy and I have had a good laugh with (You can pay me later for bigging you up).This picture is missing the lovely Anna, her due date is only 2 days before mine!

Is that a football up your top?

Ive been very slack at writing recently as Ive got caught up with being on maternity leave, catching up with lots of people and generally panicking before the baby comes. Today serenity descended and I feel excited as opposed to horrifically terrified about the birth. I want to know what all the fuss it about...although not too soon as I still have a fantasy novel to finish, a nursery to clean and my stuff for the hospital to pack. I'm sure this is all riveting to those who have never had a baby. I have become very aware recently how much my conversations have been about pregnancy and the baby coming, partly because its so obvious as I look like I have a football up my top and everyones first question is "When is is coming out?". As a new mother-to-be you want to get as much information and advice you can because you know once the labour starts you cant ask too many questions. I do want to talk about whats new out at Topshop but whats the point when you know you'll just never fit into anything remotely decent for a while and are stuck with Dorothy Perkins maternity tops that every other pregnant woman is wearing? Shallow I know.

So on that note I will talk about something else. Ive been thinking about my up and coming exhibitions. The Artists Open Houses are happening in the first 2 weekends of July. My house will be open this year. I'm excited. I'm doing T Shirt decorating for the young ones, the friendly Andy cafe will be in full swing and of course lots of cool and exciting work will be on display. Then the Worthing Museum and Gallery have asked me and a few other artists to show our work end of December so there should be a whole new body of work on display and a very professional exhibition. Anyway, ask me for more details nearer the time or check out the link on this blog which is titled "see my art work". See I wrote that with no mention of a baby!
