29 WEEK BELLY PIC!

So for those of you who have e-mailed me requesting a photo of my huge self, here goes. My belly now measures 100cm exact and I now weigh 65,6kg. It normally measures around 65cm and 50kg, when I am my skinny self so I need to consider it a growing process that aims for normality one day soon! I look very pale and tired but that’s because I am. Will be heading for the swimming pool this weekend. At least I will look tired but tanned! António was the brilliant photographer. Enjoy!

I have lost my voice, not totally but I can barely talk. It started around lunch time after having a gorgeous Santini ice cream and its getting worse by the minute. Any advice here? I guess I am being punished for being too greedy. Having said this, I need to let my cousin Sara know that I will join here in a Santini whenever she wants - she´s been to far for to long!

Chicken Pocks Strike yet AGAIN!

António is now in school. He was very lucky because he does not have leftover marks nor does he look like this now (which wasn´t really that bad). He does look very grown up!
Its Sebastião’s turn now! He started this morning and only has two spots. He is so happy to be home with mummy and have the house to himself. So two more weeks staying home with sick kids. Its actually working out well because it means I have to stay home until noon (Fatima arrives at noon) and then I have to pick Antonio from school around 4.30. So that’s forced part time work for me! I think António enjoyed his time home. He is happy to be at school; specially because there is a big celebration today. 1st of June was Children’s day and his school, as always, dedicates one very special day to them where they make their own T-Shirts and the teachers do a play for them. Maybe kids need to stay home every now and then and have the house and the attention to themselves. For working mums it is certainly a time when we slow our pace and take different care of them.
