As you loyal readers know, Michael and I have a habit of visiting places when they are closed, or some kind of renovation is going on… etc. My company sent me to Worthing for a few days to start up a project and I decided to visit Brighton, also know as London by the Sea. I have been wanting to go to Brighton for awhile now, so it has been a much anticipated journey.
I left the house at about 11:30am, thinking that the 1 1/2 journey would get me there …

So no ultrasound today… long story… but all is well and I heard the baby’s heartbeat! It was amazing, and of course I started to cry. The heart was beating at 160 bpm, so the old wives predict a girl…. time will tell!
All is well at work, too – I have been assigned some cool projects, and I am glad to be back with some of my friends from before. Also glad to be close to Borough Market – I have a date with work friends to go there for …

One of the side benefits of being pregnant in London is that everyone is supposed to give up their seat to you if you have a “Baby on Board” badge pinned to your clothes. I haven’t really felt the need to get one just yet, but now that I am aware of this perk, I will definitely be getting one.
While I don’t have one yet, I have seen several of them floating around, and interestingly, I have only ever seen women offer up their seats!!! I must be showing a …

I have lots of news to report – some good, some taxing! On the GOOD side, I am settling in nicely. I found an excellent flat, and I am very happy about it because it is right on a 200 acre park. The balcony looks over a canal with dicks and geese – the canal is about 15 feet across (yes Mom, yes Kathleen,  yes Joanne, and yes Kristin, there is a fence around it so Baby Sutton will not go flying in), and then the park is literally right …

So I leave tonight. The good thing is I have a lot fewer clothes to bring with me this time so I won’t have to struggle through the tube traffic bogged down with a million pieces of luggage. The bad news is I am really going to miss everyone here in Phoenix.  London is definitely where I want to be, but saying goodbye is always hard.
Having a baby is finally starting to sink in, and the more it does, the more excited I get. I was lucky enough to not …

Okay, so Jen is going in for an ultrasound soon which will apparently tip the baby’s hand on what sex it plans to be. So before it happens, make your guess!

As anyone who follows this site knows, there are a lot of photos of Jennifer eating. Sadly, you can see what this has led up to. Jennifer is pregnant with a food baby. Disgusting. Wait, hold on, Jen is yelling something at me…
Oh! That’s a real baby! Sorry everyone, I had no idea, but apparently Jen has a real baby inside. She is 16 weeks along and so far everything is going as it should. So how do we know Jen is really pregnant? Because if she wasn’t and her …

Part Deux, Suttons Go Back To London, call it what you want, but the Suttons are going back to London with more details and some exciting news to come!

Who knows, with only 589 people living there, it shouldn’t be too hard to take it over…

We were inspired to do a little in-country travel today, so we took the train out to Windsor to visit Windosr Castle. The Castle is the largest (484000 sq ft) inhabited castle in the world, and the oldest in continuous occupation (over 900 years).
Windsor itself was very picturesque – it is a quaint little town with tons of little old houses and pubs. The great thing about Windsor is that usually when we visit an historic site it involves a long trek up a mountainside, but this time the train …
