Back in the land of internet!!

As you can see from the title I am back online, even if I did break two computers last week trying to get online, how desperate can one girl be!!! It is great being back online though.
Shame is we are not wireless yet, that will be even better, I am never happy!!!

So Marthas room was painted and decorated now we just need to set up her bed, put up some shelves and rearrange the furniture. Hopefully that will be done over the next week or so and then I will post some pics for you to see. We can then set up the babies room so thats all ready to go. Only 6 weeks left now!! Feeling quite positive about the birth at the moment and thats after watching a home birth at antenatal classes last week too, that sort of brought it home a bit but fingers crossed it will all go to plan. I really hated being in hospital last time after the birth, the post natal ward was horrific and I think if I keep remembering that then I will be fine!!! Scary!

Whilst on the subject of pics, some of you will remember that I posted a link to a photo shoot we had done a few weeks ago now. Well we decided to get hold of the CD and now have in our posession all the images. If you would like to order them then you can do so through us, we will be a lot cheaper than the website but might be slightly higher than the shops so we can make a bit of money back.

So far things are going well with Liam commuting each week, I did have a bad day last week and that affected Liam too, I got all emotional over broken computers- how sad but then the tears wouldn't stop coming! Hormones. I think the real test will be when the baby arrives and Liam is back in work.

Can't believe we have been here now for over a month, it is incredible where the time goes. Speaking of which its our anniversary next week, 3 years where did that time go!!! Liam has decided to come back Wed next week instead of Friday and work from home for two days. It will be a good test to see how he actually manages to work from home as we are hoping he will be able to make it 4 days in London and 3 at home after Xmas. I need to stay out of his way!
Lost the point there, wedding anniversary, lol, Liam will be home which will be really nice and then we are going out to a localish restaurant on Sat evening for a nice meal. Martha will be at my parents so a lie in too- yummy, can't wait!

Will post some pics soon, promise!!!

Settling in

Well in a few spare minutes that I have got at my parents I thought I wold quickly update!
Can't believe we have now been in Wales nearly 3 weeks! The boxes are slowly disappearing and rooms are looking like the rooms they are meant to be now rather than dumping grounds.
I have been quite busy and I think thats why the time has flown by.

Met my midwife last week and I am hoping for a home birth this time, the midwife seemed to think I would be able to cope ok with it, on with the hypnotherapy CD and pregnancy relaxation CDs then. Also need to carry on with my yoga, when I get a chance. The midwife was really nice and someone who will hopefully be there during my labour. Can't believe we only have 8 weeks
left.

Last weekend Liam and I spent some time getting things for Marthas room which is very exciting and we are getting someone to paint and wallpaper for us next week, pics will be on here once its finished. Unfortunately the baby will have to put up with the room Martha is in for now and later on we will decorate it with a new carpet and a colour. Its not quite the same the second time around!!! Poor child!!!

As for the whole Liam working away thing, both Liam and I said it hadn't been too bad last week, I personally have felt the same this week, not sure about Liam this week though!?

This weekend is Erins Christening and Liam and Martha will both be going to Liverpool for it. I have decided not to go as I don't think I will cope very well with the journey and travelling such a long distance. I have been quite tired this week so think its for the best. So sorry Jen, Erin and Shea that I won't be there, hope you have a good day, will be thinking of you.
