Invercargill's Bright Lights

Yeah yeah, we can hear your scoffing. I know the words “Invercargill” and “bright lights” are not commonly used in the same sentence, but Joss can argue she has seen the brightest of them all. Ok so what am I going on about? Joss has just had some laser surgery on one of her eyes. Not the corrective surgery people have to so they don’t need glasses – a little more serious than that. Joss put on a brave face when we went into the hospital but looked a little pale when the nurse said she’d need anaesthetic injections around and in her eye. The old poke a needle in your eye saying got its revenge, but after almost an hour she came out with a weak smile on her face, proud to have handled the situation so well. And all is well, a little tender but looking good, no pun intended.

Baby News
All is well on the baby front. Joss recently visited the midwife and the results are all good. There is a question about if the baby is slightly larger than average, or if we are slightly out on our dates. Joss quite likes the idea of the baby coming earlier but not being larger than average.

So the baby is roughly at the 30 week stage (out of 40) and Joss and I are at the room decoration stage. We purchased the coolest Whinnie The Pooh stuff and are looking at the possibility of painting the room. Once we are finished we’ll get some photos to show you.

And there seems to be a few people planning visits to the deepest south after the baby is due. We are looking forward to them and are pleased to know our baby talk is not putting you guys off. Actually Joss caught up with Phil and Grant the other weekend – Bronwyn if you are reading this I’d watch out, it sounded like Phil was a little clucky talking to Joss about the baby!

Easter
We are off to Dunedin for a couple of days over Easter. Our last holiday before Baby Day. There is a great museum and art galleries to see and I’m hoping the marine aquatic centre will also be open. And it looks like some of you Christchurch people will be there too. So it will be a great chance to catch up.

Just Stuff
Duncan and Kylie are settling into Wellington, both with jobs now. They have hardly been there a month and they are planning on moving flats already. They have run out of space so I think it would have been cheaper if they left their 32” TV with us and we gave them our 14” one. Actually we have gotten use to the little one again very quickly and really only miss not having a VCR. But soon we’ll have a baby to provide hours of entertainment.

Joss has received her final pay from doing the Census enumeration so returns to being a kept woman. And I’m quite busy at work getting ready to go live with Hansen. That’s a computer geek product not a stupid boy band!

Well that’s about us, why don’t you email us and let us know what you’ve been up to.
Cam & Joss.
