Still here!
Hi all, just wanted to let all the faves who have left me notes know that I AM OK, just havent had much of a chance to get on here. We have moved offices at work and the chance to use the internet privately has been a rarity, and I have been too tired/busy/lazy (depending on the day!) to get on at home! I hope everyone is well and I look forward to reading about you all soon.
A quick update while Im here…..
Saturday was Kati’s birthday AND a long weekend, so we got to go out together alone for the first time since River was born! It was a day planned weeks in advance, we got mum and dad to mind River, and we were going to spend the day at Bondi at Kati’s request. With only a few days to go we got worried because mum was sick and thought that our plans would fall beneath us, but luckily she got better in time. It was a great day, even with the slight hiccup of getting a couple of streets away from mum and dads on the way and realising of all the things we did pack, we FORGOT the saved breast milk from the past 2 weeks for that day!! I dropped off the girls and went home to get it, then everything was back on track, we didnt make it to Bondi till about 3pm though! We had a few drinks at a couple of places around Bondi, and just enjoyed each others company and the lack of responsibility that we took for granted in the past. It was a great day and as much as I love River and being a family, those sorts of days are truly priceless now.
As for River, she is growing so big and doing new things all the time. Its amazing to watch, to see her getting bigger right in front of our eyes. I will be sure to add some photos soon too.
At the moment we are trying to plan a trip away for my birthday in March, we are not positive where we are going to go yet, but we are thinking about Queensland, Tasmania or Byron Bay/Northern Rivers area. It will probably be 5 nights all up if I can get the time off work, which shouldnt be a problem, I am going to put my form in today and its still over a month away.
Thats about all for me now, work has changed alot for me since I went back after River was born, they have moved me to the other office which was closed down and moved to a new location last week, and I have spent alot of time on the road now doing onsite visits too. In same ways it is good to be out and about, but in other ways I have less privacy and dont get away with ‘extended’ lunch breaks and things like I used to. Then again, I am hoping to be out of here and living interstate by the middle of this year so it shouldn’t matter too much anyway!
Hope eevryone else is well!
