A Little 2013 Review...

Sometimes these things are a little too huge to consider... What was the highlight(s) of this year? Top ten things? Biggest achievements? Most pivotal moments? 

Often just best off the throw it down without really thinking about it... Like listing your favourite films with no thinking time... What just springs to mind?

Well here's what springs to mind of 2013...

Well the first part of the year was lost to early pregnancy worries with a real "are we/aren't we" start to the journey, from the cloud Euna sprang out of her babyhood on her first birthday...

And how we celebrated...

And our new home...

And how our toddler toddled...

And then we announced... And I grew... 

And she's just been bloody wonderful...

And then it got warm...

And I took a lot of pictures... Some people even paid me for them...

And trouble grew and we started to anticipate...

And it was summer... And how lucky we were for so much British sun... 

And we holidayed...

And again...

And then the sun went away...

And we nested down...

And watched my favourite season...

And we waited...

And preparations completed...

And then he came...

And we loved him...

And we loved him some more...

And then we got the fairy lights out...

And we were merry...

And we screech in to 2014. A four. Very happy, a little tired, exponentially grateful, hungry for more, ready to celebrate and without regrets. 

Thanks '13... You were lucky for us. xxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! <3

Our Christmas Picture Story...

Pretty standard stuff really... Father Christmas, presents, fairy lights, pjs, more presents, food, bubbles... Feel fat and go for a walk... Repeat.

But this is our version circa '13...

The Merriest of Christmas' to you all... :D

Dear Everything, Please Stop.

Sometimes I'm struck with these hideous waves of panic that I will never be able to enjoy this enough. I will never be savour enough of these baby days to last me the rest of my life. That I'll spend the rest of my life, albeit much better rested, mourning this time of my life. My babies will be big and gone and it won't have been enough, because how could it be? What could be more magical than watching all these important moments; first smiles, first steps, first words, first pictures... The start of quite literally everything.

I can't quite fathom that anyone's done this before. Because if they have how of earth was my Mum able to allow me to grow up? How has any Mum ever managed to stop doing this?

It's too huge and too wonderful and sometimes when I really stop to think about it it absolutely swallows me whole.

Dear Everything, 

Please stop. Just pause a while whilst I figure out how I'm supposed to get enough out of this to last me a lifetime.
