Happy birthday miniMissStrawberry. Good time of year for birthdays I think.
Well, Caspian is now officially registered (newborns are expensive - had to pay doctor for check up on Tuesday, and another £20 today to register him!) but the walk was not quite to plan.
The gorgeous hot and sunny day suddenly turned into torrential downpours. I figured there were not enough clouds for more than one so we set off after downpour one. Unfortunately the brief respite quickly became "Downpour Two That Never Stopped". I am still soggy! Caspian was okish, slept all the way their and back but the sling is soggy, and hanging up to dry.
Must admit I ended up crying on the way back because it was "kissing rain". Last summer when it was so wet, everytime it rained like this me and twunt would be straight outside and kiss for as long as the rain lasted. And this time I was walking back alone and soggy, with raindrops and tears pouring down my face, having just registered the Caspian's birth by myself. Ah well, I got home and he needed a nappy change and feeding, and now I have just made a cup of ginger tea.
My older DCs have been at the beach this afternoon - just heard they had a great time, swimming in the rain.
This time last week I was in labour. And already I honestly cannot imagine not having Caspian - time seems to have started again, and he has always been part of it.
Oh, I am playing on Sunday, and had a practise with C in the sling before. First good news is I can physically manage to play with a baby in a sling on me, second good news is that he really enjoyed it. So fingers crossed it is a successful performance this weekend
