As you can see from the date of my last post, I've been absent a fair while. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was finding every chair uncomfortable to sit on, so I wasn't able to spend any time at the PC updating anything that took more than 5 minutes.
Just blogging today to let you know that we had a baby daughter on 20th January. She was due on 16th, decided to start emerging on 18th and then changed her mind! 50 hours later (I'll skip the details) with the help of a caesarian, she finally arrived.
Like any parent, I think she's gorgeous! We're beginning to settle into a routine, but at the moment, I'm limited in what I can do, which is terribly frustrating. Having said that, I have managed to get out to the shops, thanks to my wonderful husband, who has been an absolute gem.
We hit the charity shops in Billericay on Tuesday, after registering our new arrival at the Registry office (makes her official!). I got tons of bargains! New boots, two dresses and three scarves. She got loads of little sleepsuits - and a few bits for when she's older because they were quality items.
Today we nipped over to Chelmsford. Bumped into a whole hoard of people we knew so got inundated with hugs/kisses/handshakes and baby adoration. There were still some sales on so I managed to get myself some nice new PJs (only one pair fit at the mo) plus yet more baby clothes. Oh yes, and I bought a CD and a book that weren't in the sale at all. Oops!
Really need to find something suitable for a superman/superdad now - he deserves something really special.
I'm taking a bit of time out from crafting at the moment as it's still a bit difficult sitting in one position for any great length of time, but hopefully in a few more weeks, we'll be more settled at home, and I'll be more comfortable.
In the meantime, I may just randomly blog about stuff!
