Introducing.......Pookie Three!

It's official - Bec is pregnant again, due mid Feb. Hurrah!

We've just had the 12 week scan and all seems well, apart from Bec feeling dreadful most of the time. Both scans are attached.

It is a little too early to tell for sure, but the guy doing the scan says it looks like another boy!

Daisy wasn't too thrilled about this (I want a pink one!) but she is now very excited and is constantly asking about the baby (P3 for short).

Seychelles

Zach's pretty happy with chips on the terrace of a local restaurant on our first night.

It's the Seychelles!

Enjoying sand between the toes.

We did a lot of mooching on the beach.

The view down Beau Vallon back towards Clef des Iles where we stayed.

The pizza place next to Clef des Iles. Open sides, sand on the floor, perfect for messy kids.

Andy got Daisy a fanta when I wasn't watching. She was thrilled.

Clef des Iles, with the green roof, tucked in the trees. Absolute beach front!

Andy took many many sunset shots from our terrace looking out to Silhouette Island. They were pretty impressive.

Daisy's been teaching Zach how to strike a pose. Just call her Tyra.

Time to work it.

Outside Clef des Iles.

The sea is pretty tame here but it did get fierce at times. Just ask Daisy who got nailed by a big wave.

Another evening, another sunset, another photo from Andy.

Fisherman hauling in their catch outside Clef des Iles.

Dinner at the Hilton down the coast. One of the few times we ventured off the beach.

Walking 200 metres down the beach to the local shop for ice cream was the extent of our afternoon excursions.

In early July we headed to the Seychelles for an eight night holiday. We stayed at Clef des Iles, a two bedroom townhouse right on Beau Vallon beach. The plan was to hang out on the beach and do as little as possible, we managed this no problems. We made a lot sandcastles, did plenty of swimming in the sea and had a fabulous relaxing time.
The Seychelles gets lovely weather year round, it was in the late 20's every day and the sea was warm enough to stay in for hours. Perfect! It was quite different to what we were expecting, very beautiful but quite run down apart from the luxury resorts. In the evenings there were always locals playing football on the beach and during the day there were little roadside stalls selling fruit and freshly caught fish.
