Quick Update

I am behind on my poor little blog...

Here is a quick update

- The earthquake in New Zealand was on the South Island, we are located on the North Island so we are ok. But PLEASE pray for those poor people on the South Island, they had just barely been able to get things back to completely "normal" from the last quake when this one hit. Once I hear of the best way to send relief efforts I will fill you all in. Thanks for all your messages and concerns


- We have a new, fun calling that should be exciting. We are the YSA advisers for our ward in Takapuna. I hope we can make a difference. Gary will still continue to teach Sunday school, so some days he will have double duty but he loves it.


- Gary & his team have secured a spot in the play offs which is ideal

- He has now scored over 300 points this season which is amazing

- The Breakers are in first place with about a 5 game spread between them and the team that is currently in 2nd place which is fantastic

- We still don't know where the baby will be born...maybe not so fantastic ha ha
I am 26 weeks or 6 1/2 months so I guess we still have time to figure it out. I don't feel like going into detail at this particular time as to why we don't know whether or not we will have a "kiwi" baby...but the bottom line is this.

The time table of the latest date I can fly to the U.S. combined with Gary's upcoming schedule as well as some other variables that have unexpectedly come up have complicated our plan a bit. But I am happy to be having these complications...they are just that, complications

I am behind on my pregnancy pics too

- On that note, our B-dub is growing at an incredible rate. For those of you who are already mommies, this will make sense...for those who are waiting their turn to be preggo, I hope this makes sense. But you know the little chart they make of your pregnancy...where they plug in how many weeks you are with the measurements of the baby and then they can make a graph of mommy & babies current growth and expected growth...ok
Well at my last appointment I was not even far enough along to be on the chart, but my babies measurements were ha ha. I was 24 weeks (they start charting at 26 here) but the little man was measuring between 26-28 weeks. Am I surprised no, it's not like his mum & dad are little people...but I have to admit, it was a little overwhelming to see it on paper. Especially given the fact that even though I feel like a house, I have been doing pretty good (good not great) as far as the "belly" goes. The doc even asked me where I was keeping this baby, he then went on to say if things keep going the way they are, that baby Wilkinson will be over 9 lbs.

- The fam has been in town which is always fun and can shake up the routine a bit. Sometimes I don't realize how much I get comfortable being so far away. I do things my way, on my own time table ha ha. There is just me and the closest family is 7000 miles away...anyway it took me a few days to get back in the groove of having a full house but of course it has been great. We have seen a lot and have had a lot of fun. I think my mom has really enjoyed seeing me pregnant in person :) she and dad were even able to come to a scan for the little man. My dad says the baby "looks" familiar

This cockatoo randomly flew straight for my head and landed on our hotel balcony in Australia. Myself, my Mom, Pop & Bro are out here for a bit to catch one of Gary's games and to see the great barrier reef
