Saba's first photos

Hi All,

Here are a few ultrasound images of our little girl. Enjoy :)
I suspect a lot of you want to know the meaning of the name Saba so I've googled it and have come up with the following -

From the Hebrew : woman from Sheba; morning
From the Greek : 7th daughter
From the African : the seven guiding principles

this is a 3D pic .. a bit weird to look at but you can see her little arms and face - SHAME!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Scott

Our baby boy is ONE!!! I cannot believe it - a year has passed already - wasn't it just last week that I posted the blog about Scott's birth??
My darling boy is growing and becoming a bigger treat to be around every day. Mart and I have been rather emotional these last few weeks hahaha unable to express our pride, joy and total awe of this little human being that we have made. Just seeing him become his own person is such an experience and to be a part of his world makes our days amazing beyond our wildest expectations.

We were lucky to be able to spend his birthday with all his grandparents and just seeing how much everyone loves this little man is at once humbling and makes Mart and I brim with pride.
Thank you to everyone who made this important milestone in his young life so special - thank you for the love and attention and the gorgeous little pressies for our boy.

Thank you Scott for continuing to be our little sunshine and filling our days with such delight. We love you our son and it sure is a great pleasure watching our Scotty grow :)

Mama has a brand new belly :)

Hello hello,
GUESS WHAT???? yep from the title of this post you've probably put two and two together .... we have a new baby on the way YAY!! I am 6 months pregnant and HUGE. We have been a bit secretive about the whole thing as Grandmother, sorry Grandmaman, wanted to keep it a bit of a surprise for the SA folk and with the situation at Canon being so unpleasant (demon manager) I wasn't feeling myself lately :) BUT check me out now with my belly!

Mart and I are soooo excited and Scott doesn't get it yet but soon he'll be sharing Mommy and Papa with his little sister ... YES we're having a baby GIRL haha we are so blessed I tell you.
This pregnancy is totally different to Scott's, I am much larger and probably because Ii have a 1 year old crawling about I'm a lot tireder, its a good thing I'm not at work anymore otherwise I would'nt know how I'd survive. It is wonderful though to be experiencing this again - although sooner than the original planning - Saba (that's her name) is very active and is a strong mover :) she is healthy and growing like anything. Except for being tired I am healthy and happy. The situation with Canon is causing some stress though and I have unfortunately had to call in sick as I was having pain in my belly and other stress related symptoms - I have however made a promise to myself and to Mart that I will not allow the stupid lies told by my manager to upset me at this time.

We expect to welcome our little princess into the world on 30 May 2007 so mark the date in your diaries. The family (on both sides) are super excited to be expecting a little girl but I must admit I'm a bit nervous - Scott is just so easy and such a sweetheart I don't reckon we can be that lucky twice ... can we? I'll post some ultrasound pics soon so you can have a look at our new baba and will keep youposted on how the pregnancy goes :)
