Bows, bells, baubles and beads

So, Bea got herself born, and we came home from the hospital Sunday evening (it took them forever to sort out the discharge, which came with a bunch of follow up appointments). On Monday, Martin’s parents brought Ro back. He rushed through the front door and put his hand on my tummy to check she […]

There have been no posts about the baby, because the baby isn’t here. I am nearly 42 weeks pregnant. Today we had a scan (to check for deterioration of the placenta – there wasn’t any sign). She does however have hair. I currently have a bit of a quandary. The doctors want to get her […]

This post, like it’s subject, has gradients. The first bit is spinning. If you aren’t interested in spinning, skip to after the second picture. Then we have knitting.

Recently I’ve started feeling inspired. It is spreading to all areas of my life. I have just started doing a management course at work, which I think has something to do with it.
