Sorry not to have done it sooner. We’ve had a rollercoaster week; i stayed in hospital for most of it until that was really no longer good for me, while Max has dotted between me and Freddie, the girls, the business and general life. My mum, dad, sister and Max’s aunt have been caring for […]
Baby Freddie
A short note to let you know that baby boy arrived on Friday following a beautiful pool and couch birth. Unfortunately he didn’t breathe at birth and has not yet woken up and is in SCBU though the reasons for this unexpected start are not clear. Certainly the birth was smooth and the only flicker […]
No joke.
Phew. Not going to be having an April Fool baby anyway, even if it did give a good impression of planning it yesterday. Now just have to navigate avoiding a few un-favourite days in April 🙄 Didn’t actually expect to get a March baby, but now vaguely wondering how late it will be exactly. Have […]
Reasons to be Cheerful
We had a lovely quiet weekend alone, while my parents and sister and co had a much noisier weekend entertaining my children, who returned utterly exhausted yesterday evening. Having some time just the two of us was really wonderful; there is so little time in a busy and full household to just be together as […]
Baroness Deech & the Rights of the (Home Educated) Child
A while ago, home educators watched (if they could bear it and weren’t too busy packing ready to claim asylum in the US) the reading of the latest Education Bill as it went through the House of Lords. We had some fairly strong support, which was heartening and said a lot for the people who […]
Getting into Gear
Oh dear. Two weeks have passed. Still here, still in one piece. Quite looking forward to being in 2 pieces now really. Have reached that “oh my god i am SO pregnant!” stage while simultaneously still not actually believing i am. I am slightly worried that the production of a person is going to be […]
Home Educated Children in Music Festival Shock.
I’ve been intending to blog about the crass and annoying speech made by Baroness Deech the other week on how home educated children are denied the right to a voice by their ‘indifferent’ parents – but honestly, right now i can’t be bothered 😆 However, Lord Soley, who is possibly well meaning if rather blinkered […]
Ups and Downs
March is marching by quicker than a person with 2 and half weeks till their due date ought to reasonably expect. I’m really not quite in the right head place for that 🙄 We’ve had a very good start for the month, given we’re aiming to have lots of ‘work’ done by the end of […]
Proud of Maddy today.
Maddy did her first TKD grading today and was awarded her Yellow Belt. She was so determined to get it and not have to do the Yellow Tag one first and worked really hard at learning her pattern all week, not something that comes easily to her. We’re really proud of her 🙂
"I got 30 days till this blasts off!"
As one of the wives from a favourite film of mine, Apollo 13, says, patting her bump. Woke up this morning and thought – omg… the baby is due THIS MONTH!!! 😯 I must admit, i’m kind of hoping for a few extra days (maybe not 14 though 😆 ) this time as i don’t […]
