Hi Everybody

Cam’s enjoying his job – lots of variety and more recognition than in Chch. He went to a conference in Auckland a couple of weeks ago, which he was quite chuffed about. He won a bottle of Moet champagne while up there (for after the baby is born!). Meanwhile I had a concerned husband, mother, and mother-in-law checking up on me nightly, obviously I cannot cope on my own!

I have a part time job with Census starting soon, cool – gives me something to do plus pays OK too. I am selling heaps of cards etc (so if you need any cards you know where to get them – a bit of free advertising here!).

The pregnancy is going really well, better than all the experts thought it would. I have had a bit of trouble with my eyes, but apparently that is expected when you are a pregnant diabetic (wish someone had warned me earlier!). I reached 23 weeks and have another scan soon. The baby is moving constantly and I feel like my tummy has a mind of its own! We are getting organised, buying a few bits and pieces for the baby which feels cool.

We went to Te Anau last weekend and had a great time. If you have not been there then you should definitely put it on your list of places to see. Heaps of cafes, restaurants and touristy shops. Also heaps of nice bush walks and things to do (especially if you have money). There is a great wildlife park where we saw a real live takahe (they are huge). Would love to go there again and spend a bit more time looking around.

On the house front now – well we still own our place in Chch. Had our first offer on it over the weekend but it was a ridiculous offer made by a rent-to-own businessman. It barely covered the cost of our mortgage! So we have decided to take the place off the market for the next little while and see if things in Chch pick up a bit. Although saying that the real estate agent seems to have forgotten we have taken the place off the market and she is running an open home this weekend – strange.

Anyway that is about all the news from us for now. Let us know what you have all been up too soon.
Take care, Joss.
