A quiet week

Hi there,
Well this week has defenately been a come down on last week which was so busy!!
Monday - Abigail has her swimming lesson in the morning which she was not too impressed with as she had had a week of swimming without being told what to do!!
Tuesday - We had to food shop in the morning - abigail was surprisingly good and met up with some friends for lunch in town
Wednesday - Mother and Baby group in the morning and Abigail stayed with Nana Maz in the afternoon
Thursday - I wasn't feeling too well so we stayed in and had a lazy morning and then my friend Tracey visited and had a nice quiet afternoon.
Friday - I had several appointments so another quiet day and we have found out we are going to get help around the house with cleaning ironing changing beds washing etc from a lovely lady called Karen!
Saturday - My cousin laura visited in the morning and couldn't believe the change in Abigail as she hadn't seen her since Christmas and is now alot bigger and almost running round! We met my mum steve becky and harry for a coffee in starbucks my favourite but it was a little too much and i was shattered all afternoon had dinner at mums - yay no cooking or washing up!!
Sunday- went to church in the morning and spent the afternoon at my mums resting and watching Abigail play with mum.

So not really an exciting week but a nice one as I have had some quality relaxing time with abigail watching her grow and change everyday.

I have my other cousin Annemarie and her 8 month son Maceo coming tomorrow afternoon so that will be nice. He is bigger than Abigail - haven't seen him for about 6 weeks so I bet he is so lovely now.

Hope you're all well

Center Parcs!!

As you can see by all the photos below we had a brilliant time away!! It went far too quickly though! I can't wait to go back soon. Abigail loved it all especially the ducks outside our livingroom window!! She got very confident in the pool and even went down the flume!!
She liked being in the trailer on the bike but not when daddy forgot he had a wide trailer on the bakc of his bike and crashed her knocking her over!!
Abigail slept through every night on holiday and went down like an angel every night - lets hope that carrys on now we're home!!

Abigail loving being in her trailer with all the swimming stuff!!

Time for a new look

After looking round my blog last night after updating i realised it was in need of a revamp and updating - the title still said my journey with baby bump who just now happens to be 14 months!!

So of course it would have to be pink :)

I am nearly all packed and ready for the morning i'm so excited. Will pack the last few bits in the morning and load the car - this is when we find we can't fit it all in even with the estate we had to buy once we realised how much stuff you needed to cart round with a baby!

Anyway I hope you like the new look and i'll update when I get back with the photos from Center Parcs.

Lots of love xxxx

Fun in the snow
















Here we all are wrapped up warm out in the snow!
Well everyone knew it was meant to snow on Thursday Ed and I woke up at 5.30am and looked out and there was only about 3mm - he was very upset as that meant all the schools would still be open so we went back to sleep at 6.30am when his alarm went off I looked out and nearly screamed there was a good 3inches!! We quickly tunred on the radio and started listning out and Ed's school was the 3rd one called!! So we jumped back into bed and cuddled up listning to the list of about 12 schools by 8.30 the list was taking over 20 mins to read out 469 schools were closed in Essex on Thursday I think it would have been easier to call out the names of the schools that were open!
Once we were all up washed and wrapped up warm we headed out the snow still falling to get my mum and head up to Hylands park it took so long as we couldnt touch the accelerator of the car or would skid across the road.
When we got there it was already quite busy and once strapped onto mum Abgial spent the whole time staring down at the white floor!
We had a lovely walk and really enjoyed ourselves throwing a good few snow balls!! ;) the kids in us coming out.
Thursday evening though i managed to burn the back of my legs on our storage heater and ended up at casualty with partial thickness burns to the back of both my thighs!!
I am ok though and we are off to Center Parcs on Monday and can't wait.
Will update again when I get back
