Today was a first....first time Eldon felt the baby move!!! Now he can enjoy it with me! We were laying in bed this morning having been woken up early by Eldon's work mobile ringing a dozen times (common occurrence), with me partially on my side and partially on my back to stretch my legs (my legs ache so bad in the mornings) and he/she gave Eldon a real good kick (good on you, baby!). It was very cool. After that he could feel all the little movements so I think he knows what he's feeling for now. I have to say feeling the baby move is a very neat part of pregnancy, possibly the neatest.
In other news...it's about time for a new car. You'd think once we replace every moving part at least once that it would be just like a new car, but I guess it doesn't work that way. The newest problem is a leak somewhere in the power steering lines. Unfortunately, we can't just drive it without the power steering because somewhere something dies a horrible, screaming death when the pump keeps running dry. Back to "Major's Mobile Fix-its" I guess. Fingers crossed it is something easy, not like Singapore ants (when we had to replace all the electrics in the dash because the jolly things ate everything) or the water pump (quick, fill it up, drive it round to Don's before it all leaks out again)..... We are very grateful to our friends here who keep us on the road...Don knows our car so well, he could probably tell us how to fix it over the phone!
Well, Happy Easter weekend everyone. Over here we get Friday and Monday off as well (not that it matters as I'm not working anyway) and hopefully Eldon will take at least one of those days off. We don't have any plans to go anywhere...we are hoping to go to Darwin in a couple weekends for a long, romantic weekend (the last one probably for a long time!!!!).
Hope you are all well!
