It's been just over 12 weeks since Zoe was born and that time sure has flown by! Well, maybe not all of it has passed that quickly (especially not the sleep depriving nights) but I suppose that is part and parcel of having a baby. So, the quick summary version ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/254 Well, I am now patiently expecting our little girl to make her appearance any day now. I am currently 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant, which means that her estimated due date (EDD) is in 4 days time. Babies generally are born anywhere between 38 and 43 weeks so I'm ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/249 So it looks like I will have another 7 weeks or so to go until lil Munchkin should arrive into this world, hopefully via a waterbirth at home. The nursery is nearly all ready to go with the walls now a calmer cream colour, furniture assembled and placed, curtains replaced ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/230 For those of you not on the Facebook bandwagon, our latest news is that I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with our first baby. We've had one ultrasound so far, and are looking forward to the 20 week scan which will show a lot more detail (and hopefully some awesome 3D ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/224 Since this was our full spare day in Cairo, we had talked about going back to the museum, or doing other exploring. Instead we decided to chill out at the hotel, 'recover' from the tour and absorb as much of the Egyptian vibe we could. We had brekkie (small buffet), ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/219 We slept in until 9:30am, which was awesome! One of our new friends had slipped a note under our door, and we met up with her for brekkie - another buffet. I was definitely going to miss the Egyptian karkade and the mini omelettes we have been getting everywhere. I ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/216 We had an early start at 5:30am where we had a quick brekkie before heading to Luxor airport to catch our Egypt Air flight back to Cairo. When we were dropped off by the minibus, there were a bunch of guys who were helping the bus driver unload our suitcases ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/213 We started the day with a lovely buffet brekkie (yes, there is a pattern here!), checked our emails, and then we headed off for our big optional tour day out. Since the others had opted for the Luxor monuments tour, or else doing their own thing, Nath and I were ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/210 We had an early wake up call at 5:30am so that we could get to the attractions before the weather got too hot. We could see the sunrise lighting up the peak of the Valley of the Kings, as we ate our breakfast. Then it was time to go. It ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/205 We had an early morning start, so we had a quick brekkie before heading out to see the Temple of Horus at Edfu – one of the most well preserved temples in Egypt since it had been buried in the sand for so long. This also meant that the paint ... http://www.kholakat.net/wp/archives/202
