Manic August

So a crazy couple of weeks.

Number 3, a boy, arrived. On time... the first one that didn't have the mothers late gene and not appearing embarrassingly late.

This was also the day before Number 1's 5th birthday, and despite a fairly simple birth they kept both mother and child in overnight, as my wife's iron was a little low. PANIC!  All birthday plans had gone out the window although my Mother being a practical matronly woman already had a contingency plan up her sleeve.

Crisis averted Number 1 was able to celebrate her birthday party with the extended family and then the best present picking up her new brother (and Mummy) from the hospital.

After a lovely couple of weeks paternity leave i finally return to work to be put under consultation due to a company restructure. The threat of redundancy hanging over my head means even more sleepless nights than i'd have with a newborn anyway.

Hopefully when things settle down i can begin to put more time into this blog again.
