Welcome



What's a girl to do whilst waiting for the baby to make an appearance. In this day and age, instead of lounging around on the couch with a box of choccies - well maybe later, it seems like the thing to do is set up one of those new-fangled electronic diary things, aka a blog. It's hard to believe that it has already been 9 months, and that soon we will have our little girl with us.

This diary was also created with the purpose of keeping grandparents (Nan and Pa, Grandpa and Grandma, still haven't decided on the moniker yet - of course the boy's mum will be Nonna) up to date with the first few months of their first grandchild. See there seems to come a time in every retiree's life when they start to feel the urge to migrate with the seasons. For my folks it involves taking a boat up to the Daly River in the NT and fishing for barramundi, then slowly working their way back down one of the coasts until the Victorian temperatures are once more to their liking.
So hopefully this will be a good way for me to chart our little girl's progress. Am very excited, aprehensive, and just plain curious about what the coming months are going to bring.
