aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Congratulations.

Isn’t Babette Cole just the Best. My kids loved Mummy Laid an Egg. Almost, as much, I think as their mum did.

hope you feel better soon.

Congrats to all 3 of you.

I’ve been reading your blog for such a long time now, back when Mr Frog said he wouldn’t marry you. So much has changed in that time for you. It makes me want to move forward a bit more myself.

My “baby” is now 16. God I feel old!

Congratulations! Read this last week and was really pleased for you. Then found out that so am I. So now we can be not-so-petite together!

Where’s your lovely Union Jack eye gone? I miss it! Does it make you feel queasy in your bump-to-come state?
Was thinking of you yesterday as we collected VAST amounts (it’s hard to snip off mid flow!) of frog spawn with the girls! It’s now doing it’s thing in a tank outside the front door! I look at it and think of your tummy – not that I think your tummy is jelly like and almost transparent in colour mind!
Hugs all round to the spawning massive!

Petite and Husband…Thought you (and your readers) might enjoy this poem published in The Guardian Favourite Love Poems Today. It seems so Petite Anglaise…

Dedication Page
by Jo Emeney

Let us be books together
you and I.
Let us closely lie
stacked two-tiered,

backs touching,
spine-edges spooning,

soft cloth-bound
and gilt-edged

on some antique
pleasantly dusty ledge.

Let us read each other
without having to look

at the words.
Let our time be spent

between the lines –
open content exposed,

inhaling our life’s promise
like new-cut pages’ scent.

Let us be prequel and sequel,
equal to the story we tell today:

our once upon a time.
Our wedding day.

Let us vow to stay
companion volumes

always.

I read your book and found my way to your blog. Congrats on the new baby! I’m also a culturally transplanted mom of two. Moved from Brazil to the States (the hubby is American and I followed him here); although if I had my way I’d be living in Paris as well… you can say I was born in the wrong country and don’t quite belong to the country I moved to!

I love reading about your experiences :) Keep it up!
