Ooh, I'm in the midst of finishing the last details of moving...not fun, but must be done. But I just heard about Leah having her baby! So many congrats to the new parents...and I must say I can hardly wait to see photos! :)
Another note...I must correct myself because I said Amy Jane was born 36 +6 and that is incorrect...it actually was 37 +6. Anyways, I can blame that one pregnancy brain :)
Off to clean, pack...and repeat. :)

An update of sorts
Since all of our stuff is packed up and with the movers now, I have lots of time on my hands! I'm kidding of course, I don't have "lots" but a little more time yes. I was taking photos and hoping to post them up but I packed the USB cable, and then asked Sam if he had something to use which I figured he might, but he packed his too! Oh well, that will have to wait I guess. But, on another note, I did find some photos in Sam's many folders of pictures of my dear children playing outside, of which I thought you would enjoy!
My sweet little boy ready to conquer the grass. :)
How sweet, they really do love each other!
Attempting to go down a smallish hill.
Not sure if he had success, I can't remember, but he sure thought it was interesting to see his reflection on the car.
So, Monday was filled with packing, laundry, and more packing, and then a meal at John Macleod's (treasurer in Tarbert). Tuesday was much of the same although we went to Tarbert to see the midwife and then stopped at Ruth's to drop off things, and pick up more boxes. Wednesday was the final packing day and by dinner time or should I say just as I was nearing completion of making dinner, the movers came and Jett and Sam had to load the things up...which meant cooking on hold and me taking care of two eager-to-get-outside children!
Jett of course is still in the midst of exams or rather just one exam, but so far he feels he is doing all right (which is good!). Yes, one more to do tomorrow (the Hebrew one)!
Next Monday night we hope to stay with the Jardines and then Tuesday is the actual date we are to leave the Island...where did the time all go?!
Oh, and I'll be 37 weeks on Monday (the time when they can consider you full term 37-42 weeks). Amelia was born at 36 plus 6 days gestation...which would be this Sabbath if this wee one did the same, but I doubt that, Aaron was born 41 weeks and 1 day gestation...soo, lots of time for the baby to decide to come I guess eh?
All right enough said, must get going. :) Next time I post all being well, will likely be in Perth.
Here is Amelia playing around the clothes line.

Too much to do so little time.
Common saying I know but it is a fact just now as things are getting closer and closer to our moving dates! Next week if all goes according to plan, we should have our things packed by Wednesday so the movers can collect them. And then the following week Tuesday we actually leave ourselves to go to Perth. I really need to start packing don't I? I did a wee bit today but there is still lots to do.
The main concern that I was working on today was where is this baby going to be born! I was talking to the midwife yesterday about it as well as my rhesus negative issue. Well...looks like she overlooked that and oops, didn't take blood to check my antibodies. :S Anyways, hopefully results of the blood test will be fine as I'm almost positive it is. Besides the rhogam/anti-d shot they give you *during* pregnancy is only precautionary anyways it is after wards, depending on the babies blood type, when it is important. Soo, that was a mess to clear up, and then since I was mentioning our move to Perth she checked to see if I was registered and I still am!!! Yeah!!!!! Soo, I did some phone calling to the community midwives there in Perth and was getting an appointment to be seen the 1st of may, all depending on a referral letter from the doctor here (another phone call on my part). Anyways, hopefully everything will be just about in order when we get to Perth.
I need to post pictures. I've just been busy and extremely tired lately that the incentive to get things to make it happen just isn't there. Tomorrow we go up to Tarbert, and Friday probably to Stornoway (uh, I'm not looking forward to the latter trip).
Jett is "locked" away in his room studying away for the exams next week. My poor husband, I think his body is being affected by all of this stress. And I feel there is so little I can do to help him out too, but I do try of course. He has five exams next week, Mon-Fri. I hope he does well.
Anyways, theres a little updater for you all. :)

Thankfulness
We have every cause for thankfulness every moment we breathe, but there are certain times when we have even more cause for thankfulness.
As you all know in previous posts about our car problems I can announce that the car is repaired! The cost was of course cause of worry but the Lord provided the amount needed to repair it. A gracious friend provided needed money for the cost - the Lord is good!
Another cause for thankfulness is the great possibility of getting movers to take our things to Perth! After my mother in law suggested looking into it, Jett asked Mr. Jardine and was given an ad for a removal company...well, it just so happens to be they are moving someones things to London and therefore can do ours as well for...guess!! Only £60!!! I'm amazed! Because it would cost well over that for ourselves to move it all. It just means we have to have everything packed by the 22nd but if it means less driving for Jett, and less cost overall I think we all would agree to do this. :)
And now, we have the communion to look forward to. The first service starts at noon. We were concerned how the kids and myself could go because our car wasn't due to be finished till today and it was done yesterday! So...yes, much to be thankful for.
Must get some things done before we need to leave. Have a lovely weekend!

Just a few photos but nothing interesting really, sorry.
Here was what I saw on that blizzardy morning...
Oh and here is the car that is sounding worse...thankfully tomorrow is the day we take her in to see the Surgeons if she makes it up to Tarbert okay. :S
The ugly flower beds...
And on one of those Mondays back two weeks, I think it was, we had the students and Rev. MacColl over for dinner. Have to send this off to Doreen, but I need your email address!
And that is all, must get the children into bed. Our black out lining came in yesterday and it is EXCELLENT! Complete darkness for the whole night, perfect for children who need there sleep!
Maybe my next post will have a updated bump photo, John's visit...hmm, and anything else that might be interesting. Ok, off I go... :)
