The book is finally out and when I asked Powerbooks if its available, I was told that its already out of stock. WHAT?! Since the personnel did not know when they'll have the stock, so I asked to reserve me a copy. But I can't wait any longer... I'm so excited to read this book... so since my hubby was ordering 4 computer reference books at amazon.com, I asked him if he can also purchase Sophie Kinsella's new book.. and so I wait for March 17. The estimated arrival of my hard cover book.Did I mention I'm excited? I was unable to stop my self in reading this excerpt.
Ok. Don't panic. Everything's going to be fine. Of course it is.
Of course it is.
"If you could lift up your top, Mrs. Brandon?" The sonographer has a pleasant, professional air as she looks down at me. "I need to apply some jelly to your abdomen before we start the scan."
"Absolutely!" I say without moving a muscle. "The thing is, I'm just a teeny bit . . . nervous."
I'm lying on a bed at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital, tense with anticipation. Any minute now, Luke and I will see our baby on the screen for the first time since it was just a teeny blob. I still can't quite believe it. In fact, I still haven't quite got over the fact that I'm pregnant. In nineteen weeks' time I, Becky Brandon, nee Bloomwood . . . am going to be a mother. A mother!
Luke's my husband, by the way. We've been married for just over a year and this is a one hundred percent genuine honeymoon baby! We traveled loads on our honeymoon, but I've pretty much worked out that we conceived it when we were staying in this gorgeous resort in Sri Lanka, called Unawatuna, all orchids and bamboo trees and beautiful views.
Unawatuna Brandon.
Miss Unawatuna Orchid Bamboo-tree Brandon.

the shopaholic series rocks! i just wish the stories were longer so that you don't read it all in one night! hahah... i have all of them in paperback so i'm still debating on whether to get the hardcover now or buy the paperback in a few months. but of course, i cannot wait!
That's interesting! Too bad I don't read that much. But the shopaholic thing might get to me. Thanks for the heads up! :)
