Not Nigella

This is an accurate portrayal of my life right now, and unfortunately I can’t hit that damn panic button! I’ve taken a week or so off since Mum arrived and now, starting tomorrow, I have a huge amount to catch up on. I still have a commission to fill for Jovis, some stuff to post off, a toddler and a foetus to look after, emails to reply to, posts and recommendations to read and of course CraftBlog to write, as well as taking it as easy as possible!

Mum has become my live in housekeeper which has taken a massive weight off my shoulders, we might even leave the house in clean clothes now! Declan is absolutely in love with her, although it took a couple of days to get to that point, it’s nice hearing him calling “Nanna???” in the mornings from his bedroom as opposed to “Maaaaamaaaaa?!”. She’s also taught him how to say “cock-a-doodle-doo”, which is apparently far too much effort for him, so instead it’s just “Ca-dooooo!”, he’s now his own little farm since he’s perfected sheep and pigs as well. He’s also just started saying “HIYA!” as soon as he enters a room, and a just as enthusiastic “SEE-YA!” when he leaves. What happened to my tiny helpless baby?

As far as #2 goes, he/she may have some names but I still think it’s going to be a last minute decision. Lets just say that they certainly weren’t any suggested in response to my previous post! Sorry guys, but you suck when it comes to naming my child I came up with a better response when I Declan opened the baby name book and pointed at one he wanted. I’m feeling a lot better than I did last week, but still meant to be taking it very easy, I have another appointment on Friday so we’ll see if anything has changed then.
