I am feeling better I AM feeling better

I'm gradually recovering after what can only be described as 4 weeks of hell. I have had some kind of virus with an accompanying hacking cough and only now do I feel human again after 4 weeks. It really has taken it out of me and I feel a little fatigued.

I have a bit more time on my hands because M is here to share the load of looking after our babies (which is great!) so I've been toying with the idea of getting my knitting out...again...it's been such a long time since we saw each other and I miss the time I used to have with my bamboo sticks.

I still need to finish this

All change

Well, I'm not sure if anyone still reads this here blog and I don't blame you if you don't because there's been nothing but baby talk here for a looong time now. Kinda boring for some after a while I know but hey, that's what's going on in my life right now.

When I started blogging 3 years ago I never really knew why I wanted to keep a blog, write a blog, maintain a blog so it really just evolved and grew and so now this blog is a follower of what I do. I now realise what it's for. Right now I'm a mum ( a very sick mum btw! - explain later) and I'm relishing the time that I have with my girls.

Poppy is blossoming and she is such a good natured baby. She sleeps well, eats well and always has a smile and a chat. She also just sprouted her first tooth, which to me seems very quick but then again she is nearly 6 months old. I REALLY can't believe that 6 months have passed since she was born.

Lexie starts school in 4 weeks time. I'm not sure what is more shocking to me... the tooth or the starting school. Either way I can't get my head around it. So I'm enjoying the moment.

I set myself a challenge a while back to make a few changes to the look of my blog. I made a start and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I still need to add bits & pieces to different pages but it's getting there and it looks pretty much how I wanted it to. My blog and me have been kind of lost for a while, I admit but then I haven't really had that much to write about so it got pushed to the side, discarded like an old odd sock. I'm sorry blog. I promise to take better care of you, and not neglect you the way I have.

The other day I spent quite a bit of time browsing through some of my old favourites. Something else I haven't done in such a long time. I missed it. I enjoyed reading.

Oh yeah, I mentioned that I've been pretty sick didn't I? I've been ill for about 3 weeks now with a totally debilitating cough that just will not shift. I have already had one lot of antibiotics and now, today I'm going back to the doctors. I'm lucky that Mark has been off work to help me otherwise both my babes would have probably starved by now. He's been doing everything which has allowed me to rest. And boy did I need rest.

There has been more change too. We sold our house and moved out a couple of weeks ago. We are now staying at my mum's for the time being until further notice. It's a little bit squashed but fine for now.
