Last blog from Spain

This will be the last blog from Spain. Baby and I are traveling to Pokhara leaving Barcelona on Tuesday and hopefully getting into our great bed at Maya Devi by midnight on Wednesday some time. I am thinking about that bed as the bump gave me the first sleepless night last night...well it was not all the bumps fault, the rain and lightning did not help either. Before I would wake up and then effortlessly fall asleep again, but last night getting comfortable again after every time I woke up got increasingly more difficult.

We had a thoroughly rainy Sunday today so most of the packing is done already, just some final things to sort out tomorrow before we are off! Wet clothes hanging everywhere - hope they dry before we leave!

Jess and I went to Barcelona on Saturday for the last European shopping bonanza, it was quite an involved affair I am telling you...we did not get back to Can Ballus before 11pm! Did manage to find some pregnancy jeans and another even larger bra which by the way the bump is growing, I will be needing in less than a month or so.

There is no hiding the bump now, even if I wanted to. Definately can not sleep on my stomach any longer either...

And baby's first outfit...with "I believe I can fly" on the front, which I thought suited a baby of ours. The other top is made by Isca's mother. All the furry birds are from Cim d'Aligues, where our Harris Hawks will be spending the winter- we are going to make a mobile with them...some of them even emit a lifelike sound when pressed.

We have been doing some pram or rather 3 wheel travel system research of late...in fact we have become quite obsessed by finding the perfect one for our slightly unique set of circumstances next spring. Not that I think there has never been parents looking for a baby pram before but I am certain that most of them had a place to live first! Scott and I find ourselves looking at every pram that rolls past and believe me in Berga there are quite a few of them. We think we may have found the one: a Jane Slalom Reverse Matrix - stylon, with a back or forward facing stroller part and more importantly for us, for the first few months, a carseat that turns into a pram at the press of a button. It seems to be ticking all the boxes. Now it has become more of a logistical problem of finding the Jane at a good price somewhere, where from we can get it to where we are. And if we decide to have the baby in Bangkok then how do we get the amazing carseat to either Nepal or Thailand?

I am so looking forward to getting back to Maya Devi now and getting going on our Nepali part of the season. Next week's blog from Pokhara!

Oh and in case you have been missing my cravings...ribs anyone?
Just for clarification, the second plate is Scott's.
