We still have all the boys together on Sunday and manage to get some quiet time by getting the playdough out. I cook a lovely roast dinner and we spend the rest of the day at home playing and making a mess.

I spend Monday morning having sleepy cuddles with Ava before picking Finlay up at lunchtime. I take him for his first eye test which he passes with flying colours. As a treat we go to a little cafe and by chance his best friend is in there which he thinks is great.

I meet friends for breakfast on Wednesday as it’s one of theirs birthday. Then it’s off to Ava’s swimming. She’s really starting to take notice now and kicks and holds onto the side. It’s the boys turn for their swimming lessons after School. Ava and I watch and I’m so pleased with how they are both doing. The change in Finlay is huge.

I go for my first run in a long time on Thursday. It wasn’t that bad, but my hips really ached for the next few days so I think I need to do some strengthening exercises first. We go to the park with some friends after School and Ethan is back when we get home. I spend the evening writing an application letter and filling out a pack to apply for the job at the School I went to look at. It’s for a SENCO post and although I have experience I’m still scared of applying.

9. Ava and a sleepy Ava. 10. Beautiful in her beautiful babygrow. 11. Ava enjoying her new bath. 12. In her jumperoo for the first time.

I rush to get my application in before the deadline on Friday lunchtime and just make it. My Mum and Dad have Finlay for the afternoon as he is desperate to see them. I get to go and meet my friend who also has a baby, a little boy a few weeks younger than Ava. It’s just me, James and Ava this weekend so once she is bathed and in bed we cook a curry and open a bottle of wine.

Saturday morning we get the jumperoo down from the loft for Ava, she’s not too sure. Then we go for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. It’s nice to be outside and it not be really cold. It’s another quiet evening for us cooking a nice pasta meal and watching a film.

My Captured Moment #4

6 Comments

Can you see the Hollywood sign in the distance? This photo was taken in February last year. It was my first ever trip to America. James was working out there (Golf stuff) and I went with him. There is a little secret to this story. In this picture I am about 6 weeks pregnant. A week before we left for America we moved house. We had been living together for a while as James had moved to my house but this is our first house together. We moved on the Saturday and found out about ‘jellybean’ as we called her, on the Monday. Then flew to America on the Friday. A total whirlwind week! The whole holiday I felt incredibly sick and looking at the photo’s you can’t tell a thing. I love that we knew and no one else did. It was our little secret. My Captured Moment.

 

10 Things About Me

10 things you may not know about me.

MummyandMonkeys

  1. I used to model and do Promotional Work. I was a grid girl and travelled all over the Country doing it. I’ve also been a Cheerleader.

  2. I’m divorced. I got divorced at 28 and now live with my partner (boyfriend) who I have Ava with and my two boys from my marriage.

  3. I have a degree in Psychology. Yes I am Psychoanalysing you

  4. I have 2 tattoos. A tiny heart by my hip and a lotus flower on the bottom of my back. I also have 7 piercings though I don’t wear them all anymore.

  5. I love rock music. I’ve seen some great bands live and been to a few Festivals. Some of my favourites have been Metallica, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Rage Against The Machine and some heavier ones like Slipknot and Soulfly.

  6. In Secondary School I used to run a lot. Running in Athletics in the summer and Cross Country in the winter, even running in the All England team one year. I now am rubbish at running!

  7. I am scared of the dark! I have been since I was little and had awful recurring nightmares. I will not go up or down any stairs in the dark.

  8. I had braces and still have a piece behind my lower bottom teeth that they said would come off on its own. 14 years later it is still there! At least it keeps my teeth straight.

  9. I blush when speaking in front of lots of people. If somebody says I’m blushing it makes it worse.

  10. I hate tea! It tastes like mud. My weakness is fat Coke and do-nuts, I love them.
