Start as we mean to go on! We are all back at work this week and since that means Ged leaves at the crack of dawn and is gone til 5 or 6pm, I am resolved that Benjamin and I have to get into a routine so we can survive the days. So we normally have a 5ish am feed and then go back to sleep. Ged gets up at 6 and leaves us in bed snoring. We both have a squirm when he leaves but I shush Ben back to sleep and hope for a good snooze then we get up at about 8am. Singing, playing, bath and boobie and then Benjamin goes to bed in his bed, in his room for (hopefully) two hours so I can sit at the computer and get some work done. Then he wakes up and we have some more singing and hugging and then I have a shower while he watches from his bouncer (lucky boy!) and then tummy time, lunch time and back to bed for the boy (sometimes happily, sometimes not!) and I go back to the computer and the phone for an hour and then normally he is up again so we let him have a good kick on the sofa while I race around trying to clean the house and then we are both clock watching until Ged gets home and I get to catch up on the backlog of work or chores and go for a walk . . . me and phee time

The children are all in clover!
Tinkerbell has been locked up behind the house for a couple of weeks now as she has laminitis. She was therefore present for the birth of the baby who will love, master and live with her into her dotage. She just lay by the back door all through labour and didn’t call out for Baby or make a fuss about her confinement like she normally does as soon as the sun is up. Instead she was quiet, present and contemplative until Benjamin was safely birthed into her world.
Waiting for Baby . . .
I was so sure that by now we’d have a baby to share with you. However, it was that little curly haired blonde girl who told me she was going to be a Virgo, 9 months ago. So since she is a boy, instead of a girl (presumably that means dark haired too), it is inevitable that he will be a Libra instead! Oh well, we need a bit of BALANCE in our lives . . .
