Its been longer than I wanted it to be since I last updated you...but I have a very good reason! At 1:35am on 13 August 2015 baby Marcella Sandra Hall arrived! :) She's adorable and really tiny.
Sarah asked me to be there at the birth and it was an amazing experience. Its also crazy to think I saw this little one come in to the world. Sarah did so well and it was over fairly quickly... I expected to be sitting around forever like they do on One Born Every Minute!!
Has it put me off having children?? Well I have to say its not something I would like to happen to me but maybe ill forget what I saw in time to have my own one day!
Its all been a bit hectic since Marcella (Marcy for short) arrived as you can imagine, however we did get up to some fun things prior to the birth...
We went to a place called DragonMart, it is a big indoor market place which from the sky is shaped like a dragon! They sell the most random things in there but our main aim was to get some fake turf for the new garden. The garden will be lovely in winter when the temperature is more like 30degrees and not 50+ !!!
As you can imagine, with the weather as hot as it is, I haven't done much sunbathing, however I am swimming a fair bit! I have managed to eat so much junk food I need to fit in all the exercise I can! I am also trying to convince Andy that a trip to the Atlantis is needed fairly soon too, it kills me knowing we live a short drive away and I haven't been at least 10 times yet!! :)
One cool thing we did this week was go to a comic shop called Comicave! This shop was epic...it was huge and there was so much to look at. I tried to film as much of it as possible so for those of you who get to watch my videos it will be on there really soon!
Camilla absolutely loved the Iron Man set up (it was very cool)
There was a really scary model in Comicave which Camilla seemed to like looking at - she named him Scary Woo! (not very scary) but she kept going back to see him!
A little update on the cockroaches - we got some sticky pads that go near the walls and catch the cockroaches as they run around. We caught ONE and I think he told his mates as we have had no more since then!! Fingers crossed they got the message that I'm not one to mess with! haha
On a side note, however, we have had a lizard in our room!! What the hell?! They're cute and small but I don't fancy sharing my bed with them! Luckily I didn't see it, it was Andy and I haven't seen it since he said it ran under the bed...I don't know if thats a good thing or not!
I can't believe we have been here two weeks already! The time has just flown by.. I haven't got upset about home once yet! (Apart from when I saw a picture of Pepsi, my dog, on Facebook...Yes I cried like a loser, but just look at her face!! She needs a cuddle!)
We went to the Rainforest Cafe today which was brilliant as always, and I did a spot of shopping in Dubai Mall... bought some things from good old New Look!!
As you would expect, we are enjoying it a lot and I'm not ready to come home just yet! ;)
Promise to update you sooner next time and I hope England isn't too wet!!
Miss you all,
Laura xx
