People have been asking for photos of the 'baby bump'. I didn't realize just how big it is until Ned showed me this photo!

There is A LOT of construction in Abu Dhabi, this is the view from our beach front.

Our beach/pool club is truly an oasis in the middle of the hot and dirty city. We love love love it!

This is the garden/restaurant area at the beach club... we plan to spend a lot of time sitting at the English Pub under that palm tree:)

Thankfully there is a nice children's park just across from our building. It is teaming with little kiddies until midnight each day.

I love all of the American franchises with Arabic signage (Pizza Hut)

A personal favorite: Arabic KFC

This is the neighborhood. All of the roads are big, 4 or 5 lanes each direction. There are way too may cars. walking around is really unpleasant. Fourtunately we are only a couple of blocks from the beach club!

This is our building, we live on the 18th floor!

Typical: construction in the desert.

View from our living room window.
