I had an excuse...

I realise I haven't blogged in a fairly long while. Perhaps no one even reads this anymore who knows, but I still like to keep this blog for my own reasons.

And this is the reason I haven't blogged...



That is the first 13 week scan of the baby I'm currently growing inside of me. We found out back in March that we are expecting our first baby and ever since then, everything has got very hectic in trying to get the house sorted as we don't currently have the space for a new little one! The "Nasa Space Station" (our pet name for the office) will be demoted (or promoted?) from the second bedroom to a new conservatory/extension built on the back of the house and the second bedroom can once again be made into a bedroom. Hurray!

So the past few months have been taken up with trying to get my head around knowing that I'll be a mummy by November, which is a fairly scary prospect. I've also been struggling a little bit health wise, as obviously I had literally only been on vitamin D supplements for just under a month before I became pregnant so my body has been trying to figure out what on earth is going on. I've also been told that some of my thyroid tablets are not suitable during pregnancy so I've been put on new ones. Essshk! Needless to say I've been a little tired and grouchy. Now that I'm 15 weeks pregnant, things are starting to settle.

The other major thing that happened in my life is that my grandad passed away at the end of April. We're all still trying to come to terms with it, because he wasn't particularly old and it was very much not expected. Life throws these things at you once in a while doesn't it.

So I'm hoping to blog a lot more in the future. The "Song of the Week" is likely to be sporadic still...less song of the week, more "Song of the Moment". In fact I may just change the name to that so I don't have to post quite so religiously.
