#7 - 22 Weeks. 18 to go!

We're over half way there, infact, in 15 weeks she'll be classed as full-term and she could pop at any time. Just so you know, 15 weeks might sound like alot, IT REALLY IS NOT.
I'd just like to add that Katie is working 37.5 hours a week, (more hours than me) full time in a very stressful call centre environment. Aswell as doing washing, tidying and all that stuff that I'm rubbish at but I keep trying. I have no idea how she manages it, she has to be superwoman. Her belly has grown a fair bit in the past couple of weeks, here's a picture taken just last night.

We've had fun over the last few weeks, we went to see the used, we had a house party, spent some time friends with Chris & Claire, went to see Marvel's Avengers Assemble movie, (as pictured above- It's absoloutely awesome by the way) got Katie a new phone and we went to see my friends John & Cindy at their snake shop in sheffield(shameless advertisment) - who I know actively read this blog! Don't forget to comment guys!

Sony Xperia S - Katie's new phone

Samsung Galaxy Note

Katie got herself a new phone, Sony Xperia S, and she hasn't really put it down since she got it. It's a nice phone, the screen is pretty good quality HD and all that jazz. It uses the Android OS which is something I really like about it. Blogger.com (yes, this website) has it's own android app which allows blogging on the go! Heh heh... I'm looking at getting the Samsung Galaxy Note, it's pretty big but it looks very good. It also runs the android OS. I'll be updating this thing directly from my phone, Hurrah!

I know over the next few months... (or years) (...or decades even...) everything is going to be ...baby, baby, baby... (not the justin beiber song) ...so we've got new phones and we've got a new PC to treat ourselves before the plunge into parenthood.

At work today I've been looking at websites that give tips for men taking the leap into parenthood, I've been looking at products and reviews on Amazon and I'm considering buying a few things next month towards the baby. To name just one of the things I'll definately consider getting, the Baby Bjorn carrier... Because pushing a pram isn't always necessarily worth doing if I'm just nipping out for a few minutes to the shop.

Baby Bjorn Original Baby Carrier



All this forward planning is NOT MY STYLE but I guess I better get used to it.Also, for now we've decided not to get another dog. We will look at getting one when the baby is grown up abit, that way I will have more time to train it and get Misa used to it.

Also, I did get that new gaming PC. We got it on finance so I'll be paying it off over the next 2 years. Diablo 3 is out next week, what a coincidence! I will be documenting my gameplay in a similar blog, the link is at the bottom of this page.

On a final note, I recently heard some terrible news at work. A collegue of mine was involved in an Motorbike collision and has been paralyzed from the waist down, her back was broken and she is very lucky to be alive. I just wanted to take a moment to tell Kirsty Grainger that everyone at work misses her lots, we all hope you recover as best you can Kirsty and everyone is thinking about you. Everyone keeps asking around to find out how you are! We all say it's not the same without you here.

'til next time people! - Mike
