Plodding along!

So the another month of birthdays is upon us! Last week saw a few, including Liams and my mothers 65th! Not sure why March is so popular!! LOL! Last week Martha, Millie and I went and spent the day with my mother as a surprise for her birthday, so that was nice. Liam then had his birthday on Saturday, I got him breakfast in bed and then got back into bed for a lie in- cheeky or what! He was going to get up as he wanted to plant the grass seed in the garden so I didn't feel too bad ;) That night I had arranged for my parents to babysit so that Liam and I could go out. We had a great night out and had quite a few drinks, we had a little chat about the girls but then most of the rest of the evening wasn't about the girls and we had a really good time. Its been awhile since we have both been out together without the girls and both been able to drink.
Sunday we went out for lunch with my parents, Peter and Anna, which again was lovely. All in all a really nice weekend.
Martha is doing really well with the potty training now and instead of her going when we want her too, she actually asks which is great, she also uses it for both wee and poo! (sorry TMI!)
Millie really enjoys her food and is now on three meals a day, can't believe we are there already, its so scary! This time again and she will be one! She is really coming on now and has rolled over a few times and is a proper chatter box! Its lovely but already she is no longer a little baby that I can just hold in my arms! I loved her being small, in fact I love small babies. A few friends of mine are due to give birth in the next couple of months and even though those first few weeks are tough new born babies are so cute and tiny. You just want to wrap them up and keep them safe. Which leads me to wishing Jan all the best for next week, it will be all be fine I am sure.
So things are good here and we are plodding on with things, nothing too exciting planned for the next few weeks, so it will probably be the same for a few weeks. Martha got invited to her first birthday party today and its fancy dress! Gives me an excuse to get her the Upsy Daisy costume I saw awhile ago. Then Easter weekend sees us in Liverpool for a wedding. I see another drunken evening coming, we don't know anyone at the wedding other than the bride and groom, I don't even know the bride!! Fun fun fun!
Anyway we shall carry on plodding on for now!

Thanks Ruth, looking forward to being a Mum next week, such a long journey to here, and hopefully well worth it.

I'll keep you posted!
