We are now on red alert for baby coming ....



Well, we are still working on the summer house, it has been a lot of work for all of us, but we are just about finished now. The last jobs are to put the last coat of paint on the windows and doors , then the glazing and then the varnishing of the floor. Then we will be putting the electrics in ( with help or rather we will be the help ) and then move the furniture in . It doesn't help that fall is well and truly arrived so it is cooler and wetter than we would like but we have been spoiled really because the weather has only just turned this week up until now we have had regular temp of 18-20'c and sunny!


Maternity leave has started and the baby has dropped again ( it dropped 3 weeks ago after a very long week of Braxton Hicks ) and then moved back up the next week! I think this is more common with second babies the dropping down and then moving back up. My bag is packed and going into labour any day after Monday will mean I have gone longer this time than with Holly. I think I will be closer to my due date this time but I had no real warning the first time that labour was going to start so I doubt that I will have much warning this time! It is just wait and see time now. Mom will be here in a couple of weeks so anytime after she arrives will be good.

We have just had a lovely visit with Olivia, Mario and Tomas they were here for 2 weeks. Tomas is such a happy smiley baby, Holly misses him already! And lucky for us Mario is a dab hand at DIY having trained as a carpenter so he was able to help out Dan with the summer house.
