WOWSA!!!! Our internet's been off again so just caught up on 10 pages. Cue mahoosive post......
DP's 2 sisters want to take Orlaith swimming. I kind of want her first time swimming to be with me but don't really like swimming. Birmingham council gyms are really good. You get a free card that entitles you to free swims and gym entry off peak and discount on classes and peak times. Their mum and baby classes are £2.20! For some reason DP doesn't want her to go yet. I think it's because he was made to do competitive swimming until he stopped at 16 because he hated. Although he started teaching when he started uni, mainly because it paid £10ph I think.
DP has thursdays off now so we went to get our (real) tree and it started snowing there. 
I've been buying charity shop baubles in pink and silver for 2 years because DP's a bit of a scrooge and didn't have any. Then, while I was out yesterday, he went and bought some horrible blue lights and put them on it. I'm thinking of accidentally smashing the bulbs so I need to buy new lights
DP's been so busy recently with work. He's a jeweller too beadit but he makes gold and platinum type jewellery. He used to spend 6 days at work, then started having thursdays off. I thought it was to spend time with us but instead he just works on his website. As if doing that 7 nights a week wasn't enough. It is good though look .
We finally had a conversation the other day that we should've had a long time ago. About 14 months we had a fabulous holiday to Cuba. Spent the whole time drinking cuba libres and getting some sun, had lots of fun 
and we even got engaged while we were there. But after a week of being there, I woke up at 5am in incredible pain and spent a few hours on the toilet bleeding like mad while DP held me up because I kept fainting from the pain. It almost didn't seem too strange because I'd been bleeding every day for 2 years and 4 months. We finally talked about how we knew now that that was a miscarriage and how lucky we are to have had a healthy baby now. But talking about it has really made me feel grief for that baby, even though I din't know I was pregnant and will never know how far gone I was. 
I was bleeding until I was 7 weeks pregnant with Orlaith so did some silly things too. Drank like a fish over christmas and new year. When I was about 4 weeks pg, I was in DP's car which is stupidly heavy with a big glass roof, and got stuck on ice. My sister (who was 5 weeks pg but didn't know it) and I pushed the car up the road while a passing taxi driver sat inside steering. Orlaith really is our little miracle, especially as 4 weeks before we conceived I was told I'd probably never have children!
I promise not to do a post like that again!!
