For the Peanut

Thinking about missing you
Hi there my beautiful little niece or nephew,
You are so much bigger than a peanut now. Actually, according to the internet, you are about as long as a cucumber, which seems a strange unit of measurement to me. You are growing so fast and woah doesn't Elkie know it. She looks absolutely wonderful, but feels huge! You have a lot of room in there, swimming around and sucking your thumb, doing baby things and being oh so cute, while we all wait impatiently to meet you.
Recently Elka and Gaby stayed at our house for a week before moving to Cairns. While they were at our house I spent time talking and singing to you, telling you funny things and reminding you to think of me while you are up there in the tropics and I'm in the busy city.
I was very sad when Elkie told me they had decided to move. It has been wonderful to have my best friend, my sister, near me. Elka and I have been friends for so long that nothing is easier than just having her here. Since you came along I have relished being so close and watching you and her grow and change together. She and Gaby love each other so dearly and so sweetly. She is perfectly herself with him and he helps her to shine with this brilliance that I don't think she even realises she has. You, my little peanut are going to be so amazing, a product of such a brilliant love. I am determined to be a major part of your life, and I want to be there for all your important moments. I guess I'm going to have to become a Cairns Frequent Flier :) Your little family is going to have such a happy family in the tropics, and I can't wait!
As you may gather, things have been very busy the last few weeks, which is why I haven't had a chance to upload any pictures lately. So I will upload some now that I have missed out on. I'm losing track of the order so will have to sort that out at some point. I love you my sweet peanut

15 Weeks
Elka said this week she started to feel you bubbling around! It's early, but soon you will start to kick, and Elkie will get to feel you moving around- getting comfy and swimming around in her tummy. She looks just beautiful, and I know I have said that before, but I am absolutely in awe of how wonderful she is. It is not easy business growing a little baby in your tummy, and this is something your mum was been saying to me last week as we looked at an ultrasound of you (from when you were just a little 6 week old speck) and chowed down on huge burgers in the Pitt St food court. She has been so amazing dealing with the things that are hard about being pregnant. Her skin is dry, she always has to wee and she is always tired. Eating properly is complicated and seems annoying, but my gosh your mum is a legend. I am so proud and so inspired, and I watch her do all these special things to look after you, and make sure you come into the world just perfect, because she (and we all) loves you so much already.

| Little family <3 |
When you are born your mum and dad will have found a new place to live. At the moment they are living in a tiny little house that they don't like very much. I haven't been there, but Elkie tells me it has no light and no space - Gaby has to shave in the bedroom because there is no room in the bathroom! Gaby is working a hundred hours a week to save up as much money as he can to support your little family, and Elka is working too. Your parents are so dedicated and so committed to giving you everything you need when you come along.
It's amazing that Elkie is half way through her pregnancy already. It seems like not that long ago when she called me saying "guess what?". Soon we will be holding you and snuggling your sweet little face.
Lots of love
xx
