Lobsters and goldfish

Catherine has completely worn us out today. All day long she has chatted to us contantly...about everything. I hardly think she took time to stop and breathe!!! She continues to be excited but last night kept waking up and saying she was scared of the dark. So I ended up cuddling her lots but not getting much sleep myself in the process! Tonight she has settled easily, so I'm hoping she will sleep through.

The house is taking shape now, but I've had to take it a bit easier today as 'bump' is protesting at all the bending and unpacking. The last couple of days I have been feeling bump starting to become very lively and I'm looking forward to the time when Catherine will be able to see and feel her baby brother or sister kicking.

Catherine looked really cool today, as her short hair was spiked up and she was wearing her shades. She could easily have passed for a celebrity! We had our first trip out today to the pet shop in search of some goldfish. We got the aquarium out during the unpacking, and Catherine has been pestering me all day to go and see some fishes. We hadn't originally planned to go to the pet shop - only to register at the doctors - but we ventured in on the way back as there was one a few doors away from the surgery. Mark and Catherine were particularly interested in a little blue lobster, but he's a tropical creature, so I think Mark will have to put up with a black moor instead!!! I know I'm good at handling coldwater fish, but tropicals are a different issue.
