the boys have it.... and a new rule

Hello!
Well... it seems the boys have it, with an overwhelming majority of you saying it's a boy! Some of you have admitted to just plucking a guess out of the air, some of you are hedging your bets and using the two guess rule to your advantage, and some of you are using highly technical reasoning, such as how much orange juice I have been drinking, if my belly looks like a basketball or a watermelon, if I am craving sweet or savoury foods... etc...

None of you have mentioned hiccoughs, but this baby has hiccoughs throughout the day, for at least ten to fifteen minutes each time. Not long now til we find out for sure!

Oh! and there's a new rule... if you don't nominate a time of delivery, I will assume you mean midday. If you haven't nominated a time and don't like the idea of being put down for midday, you will need to leave a comment and let me know when you think bub will be making her/his appearance.

A belly update for those of you still keen for updates...

Chat soon, xo

Oh! and a very big congrats to the lovely Cat who has just added another little one to her family. Welcome to the outside world little kitten xo

No chance of seeing my toes at this point!!! I promise, it is not a basketball up my tshirt!

This is yet another shot of me in my favourite http://www.discobelly.etsy.com/ tshirt.

Now, as there has been some confusion about how to play the guessing game, here are the easy steps:

1. go to http://pugandpickles.blogspot.com/2008/04/hello-and-baby-in-making-guessing-game.html
2. go to the bottom of all of my chatter, and you will see the word COMMENTS (with a number next to it).
3. click on the work COMMENTS, and then a new screen will open up with a blank box on the right for you to fill in your guess....then follow the instructions, and.... you're done!

You can also comment on any of the other posts in the same way, so if some of my chatter interests you, or if you have some thoughts about a photo you have seen, whatever... feel free to drop me a comment! (For those of you not into "internerding" as much, leaving a comment is sometimes referred to as "de-lurking").

Hope everyone else is well and happy, chat soon,
xo

the competition hots up....

Thanks to those of you who have thrown your hat into the ring and are giving our baby in the making guessing game a good go! I wish all of you good luck though.... with Laura in the competition, it makes things a whole lot tougher for everyone else (she is good at this game). But be brave, give it a go!

Speaking of things hotting up, this weekend was a glorious one in sunny Melbs, and we had the opportunity to learn something new sbout our little person. Bub either loves the sunshine, or will only ever be able to sleep in a very dark room... sitting in the sun this weekend, bub got so active I was watching the chandelier on my discobelly tshirt dance all over my stomach... hilarious!



This weekend also saw the start of some developing tensions between James Brown (aka the pug) and bub... JB was very unpleased yesterday when he was firmly booted whilst sitting in my lap. Poor little dog will learn a whole lot about his position in the house in the coming months...

Anyway, keep your guesses coming!
