MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY !!!!!

Hi Baby!

I'm at Stansted airport at the moment waiting for a flight to Copenhagen. We have had a lot of snow but in London most of it is gone now. They say more will come. In the north of England and central Europe there is lots and lots of snow and where my mom lives there is a lot as well. Hopefully I will get there ok. Apparently last night it was almost minus 20 degrees! Can you imagine - more than 50 degrees colder than your city at the moment!

I'm happy to hear that your pregnancy is going well. Only a month left, wow! I bet you are looking forward to welcoming little Julia! Keep me up to date with how you are doing.

Lots of love you to and your family. I hope you have a nice Christmas together and a lovely time at the beach for New Year's Eve. I will be flying back to London on the 29 to spend New Year's with Rob. Not sure what we're doing yet. We're going to a ball on 30 so might have a calm New Year's Eve.

Love

Maria

PS. I hope you get this email. Sometimes my blackberry is a bit funny. xx

Hello Baby!

So lovely to hear from you!

Sorry I've been slow to reply... It snowed the day you emailed - I'll send you the pictures separately... We had a little, then by Saturday afternoon we'd had a lot! About 150mm deep by our flat, it was filling up the balcony. People were having real trouble trying to drive up the hill where we live. The buses gave up & one was abandoned for the night. We were find though and not affected to badly. When it snowed the week before last Stephen couldn't get home because his train wasn't running - he had to spend the night at Sandie's!! And Alan took 4 hours to get home & then couldn't get to work the next day! It's been quite exciting really. Now all the snow has melted and it's just very cold and grey.

The other news is that until today Andrew was taking his family to Brazil for Christmas, but they had their fluff cancelled and postponed so many times because of the weather that they decided not to go! Can you believe? I think they felt that by the time they got there they'd be having to come back. How disappointing! I think they plan to go again sometime soon. The other thing is Andrew broke his arm! A few weeks ago playing football!

I finished at work today hurrah!! I'm pretty tired at the moment so am looking forward to a break, I've had a cold and bad headaches so need a rest!

Ana is really really well, amazing! She's talking a lot, they said at nursery that her speech is advanced for her age... It's very good but to us it's just Ana... Although we joke that she's a genius!! But I think all parents say that!

She's lots of fun, this is a lovely time now. She's not that sure what Christmas is about but I think she'll really love opening all the presents. We'll go to Jasons family between Christmas & new year - fingers crossed the trains are running ok, they had a lot of snow up in Sunderland.

So baby only a few weeks and you'll be a Mummy!! So exciting! Are you all ready for the birth. My advice is to relax as much as you can, and enjoy ... Did I tell you I did a hypnobirth? It really helped ! I'm glad to hear about not putting on much weight, well done!! I ate well like you untill Ana was born, but unfortunately got a taste for cakes afterwards, what amazed me was that eventually I lost my extra weight & ended up a little slimmer than before. I'm sure this had a lot to do with the breastfeeding. Are you going to try? It's an amazing thing to do and I'm glad I did although if can be hardcwork especially at first.

When you finish work baby ? Are you having some time off before Julia arrives? You need to gave some tons to put your feet up! I hope Vini is looking after you well baby.

Baby, I'm going to go now as I've written so much ! And if I don't stop now I'll be writing all night.

I hope you have a really lovely, relaxing Christmas and a fabulous nee year!

Love Claire xxx
