What have we been doing? Lots I think … mostly from the comfort of my bed though

Books, goes without saying I didn’t manage to get my library books back in time … I will do better. C’s choices this week were

When Jessie Came Across the Sea (yes I cried when I read it)

Exodus - she loves all things Egyptian & a bit of OT fire & brimstone is always entertaining.

Don’t Let Go - she liked the illustrations.

Into the forest

It was Papa’s birthday yesterday so we spent the day with them which was lovely. C & L spent most of the afternoon (between showers) in the garden climbing trees, filling the bird feeders & checking the nest boxes. Next weekend there’ll be a big party at D&N’s house which we’re already getting excited about.

C asked my to buy her some work books a couple of weeks ago -I got her KS1 CGP Science & the Letts Monster KS1 Handwriting, Science and Spelling & Phonics - she loves them! I think we’ve found how she’s going to learn to read, by learning to write, she’s ploughing through the phonics & her handwriting is beautiful. 99% of the science is stuff she already knew but she’s getting lots of writing practice & is so proud of her work.

Appointments - gynae on 15th & scan (NHS sob) on the 19th. I’m going to the scan on my own, crazy right? Oh & I’ve booked … with my mum! Independent midwifery care for nowt! Plan is that I won’t see the GP but have midwife/ANC appointments every other week, increasing to weekly in the third trimester ***gasp**. Anyone want to guess about the mixed feelings that come when an habitual aborter (snappy right?) starts spreading pergnancy news. Or how painful it is do even dare to think about making it to the thirdfuckingtrimester? Or how I had to decide whether to go with the high risk OB or the birth trauma one? (went with high risk with mixed feelings).
