Breaking News!
Ellie has a little brother or sister on the way!
We had our 12 week scan today and everything seemed to be fine. There was only one baby (phew!!) and it appeared to have two arms and two legs as well as a head, so that's ok too. It was the world's fastest scan though, Jono and I felt a bit cheated really - Ellie's 12 week scan we were in there for about 45 mins, rather than the 5 mins maximum today.
I'll put the scan photos up once Jono's managed to work out how to make the PC upstairs share with my laptop -it doesn't want to play with mine anymore :-(
Official due date is 4th May, so I'm expecting something more along the lines of 10th - 13th May, as my family are always late with their babies!

Another belated update!!
Well once again I've not had much time to update here - I've also not been able to physically access our blog for some strange IT related reason (I think our ISP is blocking access but I can't prove it!).
Anyway, what have we been up to?
Well Ellie is still showing absolutely no signs whatsoever of wanting to either crawl or walk - which is just fine with me! The longer I can still leave her in the same place knowing she can't get into mischief, the better!
She's had quite a few interrupted nights of late, I think a combination of teeth and getting stuck is the problem (she spins around and gets wedged!). Hopefully this will be resolved soon. There's not really a lot we can do to resolve it ourselves.
House-wise we're coming along. Jono was doing a grand job of building the new shed which is to house the contents of our previous shed and garage. Some friends came and helped with building the concrete slab that we needed and Jono and Tommy began the actual shed construction.
Things were shaping up nicely until the day the wind picked up and hurled the whole thing into the oil tank! Poor shed, it looked very sorry for itself! It didn't look as though it would be salvageable but Jono got to work on it and it's looking much perkier now.
Here are some before, after, and further after photos:
Last weekend Jono managed to get the wardrobe up in Ellie's bedroom (some shelves and a rail running the width of the alcove). Soon I'll get round to making a box pelmet for the alcove and then we'll be able to get the curtains up across it. Her room will start to really take shape properly then.
Next on the list is to get the house draught proof and insulated. I think we're going to end up getting the loft insulation done by someone - it'll be much cheaper in the long run. Jono discovered we have rather a lot of mice in the attic - I'm not sure what we're going to do about them! We also need to get the guttering sorted - there's only half of it up at the moment!
The window people are coming tomorrow to hopefully start on the long list of window problems, the main ones being that none of the windows are draught proof, and a couple aren't water tight either!
I can't get access from my laptop to the computer upstairs and so a lot of the photos from the past few months will have to wait for a while. In the meantime, here are some from Ellie's christening...
The animals were made by several of us the night before the christening. As it was the first time for most of us, I think we did pretty well! The theme was Noah's Ark, just in case you hadn't guessed!!
Animal Credits:

Once I've got access to upstairs again I'll post some pics of our holiday to Cornwall...
