Neglect

The New Super Tasty Cheese Emapanada has gone a bit stale lately, I think you'll agree. Unfortunately, The Diminutive One and I have done an awful lot of sitting on the sofa this year (so much so that we've signed up for a DVD delivery service), which doesn't really offer up those snap-happy moments to capture and slap on the blog.

So much sofa sitting is due to the Mrs being, as she puts it,knocked-up. No doubt this will knock the "Castro Resigns" headlines off top slot around the world. After seeing a blog that detailed some American woman's pregnancy (complete with side angle shots of growing belly) The Empanada may well be hijacked over the coming months for all things pre-natal. I'm reluctant to start the process with the initial snap of "Maria at 3 months" as we're not sure if the bump is baby or biscuits.

As for names, so far we have a shortlist of one - Hummus. Or, a full name of Baby Hummus. Obviously, Hummusita if it's a girl. My mate Jon's two best suggestions were "O B 1 (good for a boy or a girl) or Babbamoosh", both of which never even made the table, let alone the short list. I seem to remember him being half under the table at the time.

The 10 week scan seemed to show well developed fingers, so it's clear that we'll have either a goal keeper or concert pianist in the family.

So, from now on it's toes and piano-playing/ball-saving fingers crossed for luck that everything goes ok.
