A boy or a girl?

We have now hit the halfway mark with our pregnancy (20 weeks!) and are deciding whether or not to find out the sex. Most people don't want us to except for my mother - who I suspect would promptly go out to buy frilly blue or pink outfits which just strengthen my resolve not to! I have started feeling the baby's movements now so can finally say that I feel pregnant, pretty cool. If you have any name suggestions we'd love to hear them, even if you are just taking the piss ;)

Here's what a 20 week baba looks like and about 10 inches long!

We have moved from our temporary apartment in central Wellington to a 3 bedroom house in Kelburn. We were feeling quite pleased with our new found domestic bliss until only weeks after moving in the house has been put on the market! Jon has been swimming home in the rain each night so I think he's looking forward to the prospect of moving more central so now we are back to house hunting. ([JL]: Actually I have secret hankerings for Vegas' huge blue sky, bright lights and fan-heater winds)

We have Tahi back with us which is fannnnnntastic! He is loving it here and is off exploring all the time - comes back inside to see us all puffed up and proud of being such an incredibly brave puss. And to any of you that don't have a cuddly cat all you have to do is send them halfway across the world and then into quarantine for a month and they will turn in the the most affectionate cat ever, though then you have to deal with them purring in your ear all night!

Jon is doing well in his new Managerial role. He is in the process of hiring more software developers as Compudigm is growing bigger and the years of hard work look like they are paying off. I'm not working at present which is rather lovely and now that we are back in New Zealand Jon has support people again so my time during the days is allll mine. It's been a positive change for both of us - we were starting to get slight cabin fever in the states so it's good to be out of each others pockets and starting to have our own lives again.

The weather here has turned completely rat's ass - horizontal rain, freezing winds and crazy storms. We have a great view but I'm starting to think that this is a down fall as looking out at this crappy weather means that I certainly don't feel enticed to go out - all the same it is good to be back home.

Let us know what you are up to.

Love Sarah and Jon
