How did it get to be Monday? Where does the time go??

Saturday we shopped, yesterday my friend gug (renamed from her original name by my dd) arrived, and she and I went shopping, while dd and dp gardened. They reorganised flower beds and planted flowers, and saved up criticism for me on my return that I had killed my rose pot plant!

This morning dd started the day with a game of chess (rooks with king v king) with gug, although had the same problem of not liking having her rook taken. Not quite sure what we can do about that. Other than that it’s been a very quiet day – I’m less than a week from my due date for babe number 2, and I really don’t feel up to much.

Sure that the homebirth will be an educational experience all round though….
