Just letting you know the latest update with unborn bubby...we went for my 19 weeks ultrasound last week and it is amazing how developed the baby has come after 7 weeks since the last screening. I could make out a face from the black and white screen and it has strong bones! Everything went well...all is norm. PHEW! It was also exciting for us, because we chose to find out the sex of the baby. We didn't really obsess over it, we just thought it would be cool to know before hand so we can start talking to it. But it is no longer referred to as "it", "it" is a he :) So we are expecting a baby boy on the 30th July. F is still not convinced, knowing his luck...so he is waiting for D-DAY when he/she arrives. I am convinced...there was a 'dangly' thing. It is nice one girl and one boy...Sofia is so estatic, she is glad there is someone to play with very soon. I think she will be the most doting older sister.

So that is my happy news! My not so happy news, is I didn't get the promotion for the job I have been doing for 2 years. All that training and hard work didn't pay off in the end. They were looking for "experience" this whole time. I wondered what was the point of applying and putting my heart into it. But that is me...I put my heart into something I am interested in and that is helping people. Oh well...I'm not in the right frame of mind to be upset over it. I am gonna look to the positives as I always do and keep going on with life and other dreams. So what if I am not the OHS Coordinator...I can be so much better :)

Just last weekend, I attended Peter and Tracy's wedding. I was so touched that Peter had invited F and I to witness his special day. It was one of the best weddings I have been to. Everyone was laid back and having a good time, there were close friends and family only. The bride was glowing and the groom was quite proud. They have made it down the aisle! Congrats to both Peter and Tracy, wishing them forever happiness! It's moments like these that you really do believe in true love exists :) I couldn't be happier in my marriage too...every day is just lovely and can't wait til we have another addition to the clan.

I do feel like have a short holiday though with just the 3 of us, so I am planning to go down south for a road trip. Most probably margaret river for it's Cow Parade. It is when artists get together to paint on life size replica cows and place them all over the country side. It's a quirky idea, but it is a great tourism for Marges. So that will hopefully come together in April...when I am bigger! But not too big ;p

I am now catching up on your blog. I really liked your entry about Australia. It seems like it is often the immigrants who can appreciate their adopted country the most, because they know what it is like to live elsewhere. Where is your husband from? I also congratulate you on your pregnancy, that is so exciting! I'm sorry you didn't get the promotion that you wanted, but it sounds like you're the kind of person who can take a disappointment and turn it into a positive force that leads you to self-improvement. That is the kind of attitude that will get you promoted in the long run, I think! Anyway, your blog is very interesting. :D
