All in all, it's been a pretty slow month from me, blog-wise. To be fair to myself, though, we have had a few things going on that kept me busy and kept my mind in a state of pre-occupation. You know - pregnancy and stuff. Work has gone back into pre-Easter, pre-busy, getting-ourselves-ready-for-the-onslaught-of-the-Summer-season preparation mode so there's been lots of site visits for me to do and lots of last-minute maintenance and upgrades that we've had months of down time to get done but somehow didn't.
On a good note, Philippa is absolutely buzzing to be gestating an unborn child again. She's so full of life that she's only sleeping about four hours a night. She's already planning how to redecorate ready for The New One and seems to want everything in place post haste even though she's still in the first trimester. It's nice to see her passionate and enthusiastic about something again, but I'm not sure we can sustain this level of excitement and energy for another seven months of pregnancy without one of us having a breakdown (probably me). Mathew is only 3, but he's already getting bored with the baby talk. I swear he wants to roll his eyes and say "Jeez, I get it. I'll have a sibling. Big Wow. Leave me alone with my toy train and let me know when your waters break" every time his mum mentions it again.
But, like the gentlemen that we are, he and I are taking her obsession with good grace and doing lots of fun things together while she talks on the phone to the other mums that she's mates with.
And call me a fool for this, but I'm firing up the barbecue later for our first Outside Eat of the year. An equinox celebration with some overcooked sausages and underdone burgers? That'll do for me.....
