Everyday conveniences

Thank the lord for washing machines, tumble driers and dishwashers!!!! I'm never going to be a domestic goddess and I'm never going to be a huge lover of housework. But needs must and I don't think my washing machine has ever been used as much as it has done in the last 2 weeks.

How can one little person create so much washing!

And how will I ever find the time to do anything other than washing!!!!!

Wow!!!!

My last post was to say - No show!!! Well life has now altered beyond all previous recognition! All thanks to this little bundle of fun



Let me introduce our baby boy Euan :) He was born Tuesday 26 May at 7.42am after a VERY, VERY, VERY long labour! I ended up having an assisted delivery but he arrived in one piece and screams his lungs out so that's all that mattered. We then had to spend a week in hospital due to a slight infection but he's a heathly little boy now.

So all I can say at the moment is WOW!!! Nothing anybody says, or nothing you read, can prepare you for the life altering, head spinning experience that is life with a newborn!

There are loads of highs but there are also loads of lows :( Thankfully the lows are not quite as intense or as frequent as they were last week so we're just taking one day at a time. It's a steep learning curve but he's putting on weight like nobody's business, so inspite of what I'm doing or not doing our wee man is thriving!!

No Show :(

Well today is the day that bump should no longer be a bump and should be a real live little person in my arms but ................ nothing!

This was bump last Saturday, really need to take another pic tonight and update!


Feels weird just sitting about watching stuff I've Sky+'d the last few days when I should be either in labour or have my baby here already!!!!!

Fortunately though I haven't been overloaded with phone calls/texts of the 'how are you feeling?' variety today. Just the usual parental calls, which are a daily occurence anyway.

Maybe I should have curry for dinner tonight!

Hormones!

I hate blaming things on hormones but today they really are the only thing I can use to explain for the way I've been feeling.

Been blog reading today and have been thinking about doing HS:MS:HS stuff, just to get back into photography, and make sure that my Nikon is not just 'another' gadget and the prompt today is perfect for me - Rock. This is my take ...........



This hand belongs to my rock, whose name also means rock!

Baby !?!?!?!

Well he's a baby of sorts! Turned my back to 2 minutes when I was putting things away in the 'real' baby's room and Jack decided to try the moses basket out for size. Honestly!!!! So that meant all the bedding had to be stripped and washed (again). I should have given him a row but doesn't he look cute - and it's his birthday tomorrow. My little fur ball will be 10 :o He's well and truly a 'senior' cat these days. Could be why he likes to sleep as much as he does!
