We spent the day cruising around having realised that last night's fun and games were mini contraction and a forerunner to the real deal and Helen and Gareth would become Mum and Dad pretty soon. It was a beautiful day so we began with a walk on the beach with the dogs, a hearty breakfast, followed by some housework (hanging up the giant Nemo I bought whilst hypnotised by the shiny things in the disney shop) and a couple of hours cruising in Charlie our Beetle. I meant to take some pictures of her outside but forgot my camera - the attached are just in the garage but she's very cool.

We both think that the birth will be this week. Last night was pretty scary but one great thing was how calm we both were - maybe like the swan analogy but above the water we were cool!! Hopefully this week will see Henry born and the pair of us remain calm........yeah right!!
