Hello, blog! I've missed you. Apologies for my absence but I have some news to make up for it. Those that follow me on my Instagram (cashmereandcandy) may already know so I think it's time to make the announcement here: We're expecting in August!
The first few months were a flurry of excited visits to the doctor, anxious waits for test results and just overall adjusting to a growing bump. One thing I must mention is the intense (and I mean intense!) fatigue that accompanies the first trimester. I literally slept upwards of 15 hours a day and couple the lack of energy with the coldest winter I've experienced in Hong Kong, blogging was just about the last thing on my mind. Sorry!
I say, 'just about' because I have been meaning to come back and sort of keep a diary of the whole experience. I'm over halfway there now so it's a bit late but hey, better late than never!
I just got back from my 'Babymoon' with Alan yesterday. We spent 4 lovely days together at a tiny resort in Phuket, Thailand. Of course, we took snaps to commemorate what will be the last holiday we'll take as a couple-with-no-kids. I'm in the 'easy' phase of pregnancy now and plan to travel until the third trimester.
On with the pics!

It kind of scares me a bit, looking at the photos, that this is what I now look like. There's no hiding the fact that yes, we are having a baby!
