Today me and Grandma took Noah to Little Dudes Disco at Christchurch Hall on Northcourt Road in Abingdon - the theme was space explorers! We missed the last one so we were really excited about today, although a shame that Daddy was working. He'll definitely want to come to the next one - it was brilliant!
Well it’s Christmas Eve already and the chaos is about to start. I’m really excited because we’re hosting this year for the first time; we’ve never had the space before, but having moved in the summer, everyone is coming to us for Christmas and Boxing Day.
A few weeks ago, during the swine flu outbreak that struck down my husband and son, I had to stop at Tesco in Abingdon to pick up some pain killers (having stropped out of Tesco at Didcot theatrically after the pharmacist was mean to me).
On Friday we headed over to the leisure centre in Abingdon to meet a friend for Creepy Crawlies. She’s a friend I made through the baby café at the children’s centre on Northcourt Road – I started going there when Noah was only a few weeks old, and being so close to our house, it became like a second home for a while.
I met up with some girlfriends at Snakes and Ladders in Abingdon yesterday – a safe option when you want to give your children the chance to let off steam, catch up with friends and not have to host or clean up the mess afterwards.
Isn’t it funny how when faced with a drama or crisis we develop super human strength? New energy. Renewed drive. For the past two nights the bear literally hasn’t slept, so after a quick power nap at 6am I woke feeling shattered. Absolutely and miserably dog tired.
In my first blog I talked a bit about the surprises pregnancy brought, and I can't believe I forgot the very common condition of constantly needing to pee. It's 3am and you're trying to force yourself to ignore the annoying calls from your bladder to go. You wouldn't be quite so eggy if you hadn't been at 2.53am, 2.29am, 1.47am.... Anyway, moving swiftly on.
15 months after giving birth to our tiny little boy Noah, and I really can't believe we're going to be celebrating our second Christmas as a family in the not so distant future...
