and the beat goes on
I’ve been swimming under a huge pile of ‘things to get done’ recently. Combining being a full time mum, getting my dissertation moving, and being pregnant is starting to take its toll. Oh, and I’ve found myself joint organiser of our Grad Ball. Woohoo.
Despite a general feeling of tiredness and sciatic pain, this is not a moan/rant/whinge (I laughed out load when I read on the Sciatica Clinic website that protruding the head forward peering at a computer all day or regularly lifting a baby out of the back of the car doesn’t help the condition. Hmmm…)
This is more an update of life so far…
Isaac is growing up fast – he went into his new bed a few weeks ago for the first time. It was a memorable feeling, tucking him up after a story and thinking about how small he looked in this ‘adult sized bed’.
Names for the baby are starting to become more certain – Gabriel for a boy, this was completely suggested by Stewart which suprised me as it is unusual but has been growing on us recently. And Renia for a girl, this is a Polish name often used as a shortening or alternative for Teresa which is my mum’s name. She remarked recently that she doesn’t often get called Renia anymore (only by my Dad now) and me and Stewart realised that we would be quite proud to keep up my Polish roots through the name of our child. It’s amazing how much a name can suit a person…
We’re going to visit my sister Nina in North Yorkshire for a long weekend which we are all really looking forward to (though the laptop will be coming). We’re an outdoorsy family and have been needing to get out recently on some not too strenuous walks… we’ll have plently of opportunity to do so in a few days. Also the great thing about England is that there always seems to be a nice pub or inn at the end of the walk. A bonus which is rare in Scotland! So here we come for some good food and fresh air – !!
In terms of blogging, I’ve been reading plenty of other posts and trying to keep up to date with whats going on. Although I have an ever increasing list of things I feel I should do:
*setting up RSS feeds as I keep having to click on peoples blogs to see whats new
*figure out how to tag my own posts (I think this is Technorati)?
*figure out how to format the side bar widgets
*GET SOME PICTURES IN
*set up a flickr thing
*start putting all my resources and links on…eep
*and a whole load of other things I have forgotten about just now
All in all life’s been good so far and we’re just getting on with living the present and looking forward to the future…
