Back For Good

And I'm back, almost seven and a half months after my last post. I didn't plan it this way, but then if I've learned nothing else from being pregnant and giving birth, its that you really can plan all you like, but nothing is guaranteed. 

So why seven and a half months of silence? The answer is two-fold, the first 'fold' as it were is that despite everything I really wanted to do for the birth, I capitulated and went with an induction, which in the end took up just over four days of our life. And then our baby suffered trauma at the point of birth and consequently spent three days in NICU and a further three in transitional care. NOT FUN. 

However, from the moment she arrived home we have been blessed with a really straight-forward, delightfully happy baby girl. So, I decided to plan our wedding and there we have the second 'fold'. Looking back, I think it was a moment of madness, but once the venues were booked there was no going back and here I now sit just over a week away from becoming a married woman. The planning is done, the baby is sleeping and so there is finally no longer a good reason not to blog...
