Life recently..... Graduation and Family News

So much to catch up on...

I got a first! Get in! I graduated from Leeds Met as a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Multimedia Technology.

I am getting bigger by the minute with Waterfall-Hallam #2 due in 5 weeks

and major sneaky...... my baby sister got married.... I didn't do the full suite of photography as I am larger than Jupiter and was also on catering duties, but I got a few corkers.  Until she has seen them I'll be keeping them private, as soon as she has picked her faves, I'll blog them!

Busy Bee - where have I been?!

I haven't blogged since January as we started a group project, our final assignment!! I have been posting over at http://finproductionsuk.blogspot.co.uk/

I'm working with three very talented and highly motivated women, Famida, Judith and Rebecca and I am very excited about the proposed outcome.

Once it is complete I will be posting the finished article here but in the meantime I shall be otherwise engaged.

Oh... this has been keeping me otherwise engaged also :) expected launch date September 2013

My world!

Exciting Day for the country mouse

Spent 45 minutes in Manchester today. Picked up Rob's glasses, bought a Philpotts' salad MMMM, posted a parcel, got a parking ticket despite having another half an our left on the clock and just as I was about to get on the M602 my water pump went on the little fiesta!

Much tweeting, web surfing, bonnet lifting, reservoir fiddling later, I called Rob, my Dad and the AA.

All in all an exciting day! Feel better that I know I hadn't let the water reservoir run dry ( was Christmas when I last topped up!!) Dean my AA man was brilliant a true saviour and good company on the run home, with a recommendation to try the Red Hot World Buffet in Manchester (watch this space).

Whilst Dean was diagnosing the problem I chatted to two year 8 Salford lads who shared their bugglegum with me, even let me have the tattoo!

So just got to await the verdict, or rather estimate, from the garage and see what Manchester.gov have to say about my parking penalty appeal.

Baby news - 12 week scan - feel free to skip it!

I know this isn't strictly professional but I feel this is the best place to post this picture.

I am 13 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) I am busting with pride and want to tell the world. I am also aware that many people are struggling to conceive, are overcoming loss, or are just plain bored with other folk’s baby joys so they do not want more gushing status updates or pictures popping up on their social networking walls.

Many people have asked me to post my scan picture on facebook, and although I do want to share it, I didn’t want to ram in down people’s throats, so I though a more suitable forum would be my blog. Lets face it, blogs are online diaries so it seems a suitable platform.

Rambling explanation over, if you have landed here, chances are you chose to, so here comes the good stuff….

I had my 12 week scan at Fairfield hospital in Bury this Monday at 0930. Rob was working so my baby sister Sophie came with, thank cripes she did as I had a proper wobble and blubbed before, during and after. Think I was overwhelmed with everything. The appointment suddenly made it real, after waiting for so long I was finally here, and was thrilled but equally terrified, what if there was nothing there, what if I had invented the whole thing?

Well there was certainly something there, initially dozing, the wee monkey woke up and started kicking it's legs then proceeded to invert up the umbilical cord. Think we have a pole baby!! They were some chunky little thighs so got Mummy's legs. I could have watched it for hours.

Mr H puts it down to is supreme fertility, I just think Mother Nature has been kind to us and that so far the timing and environments have been good. It is still early days and things could go wrong, but we take comfort and assurance that we can get this far.

So, I will be posting the occasional bit of baby news on this blog, under personal and baby tags. If you want to skip them please do, but if you want to check out what we have been up to that is equally cool.

Here is the picture, science is amazing, allowing us to take a sneaky peek inside. I also thing Mother Nature is pretty amazing too, check out what she helped us build.
