Welcome to the World...

Beatrice Lily............ was born this morning at approximately 1am.

What can i say, except isnt she beautiful?

Mum and baby are fine and I think my brother is in shock, he has stated she has very soft skin,aah and he's held her which was scary as she is so small - Dave is 6ft + and a big guy.

Hasnt she got cheeks that you want to squeeze.

I wont be able to see her until Sunday or next week, thats down to the hospital and I do think its important that they have time with her.

Anyway, here she is

Soon....

Just had a phone call from my brother, Lisa is in hospital her waters have broken and he has been sent home. So she's moving, hopefully there will be a beautiful baby by the morning.

It seems so weird speaking to my baby brother (10yrs my junior) about his baby soon to be born... Wow.

I'm sooo excited

Waiting........................Wishing

My brother David and his wife Lisa are expecting their first baby, she was due yesterday and has yet to make an appearance, we are all waiting.

I believe she will be the only baby for our family, my sister is 40+ and has fertility problems and i am late 30s in a relationship but my partner has been sterilised for 18 years so i don't think there's any likelihood of a baby.

I have been in relationships before and not wanted to have a child with that person, i don't believe that having a child should be considered unless you are with the right person ( obviously 'right changes sometimes ') and until this point i have not been with the right person.

I resigned myself a long time ago that i wouldn't give birth to a child but every now and again when i look into my partners eyes i just wish things could have been different.

This little girl will be so precious and i cannot wait to see her little face and see my brother who is 10 years younger than me, and i still see him as my little brother, as a Dad, a proper grown up !!!!!

The Power of Bed

I have treated myself to some new bedding, 2 quilt covers a luxurious Purple satin and a Sea blue Pin tuck quilt and spare pillows covers and sheets. I love having a fresh new bed with matching quilt and pillows.

There's something so calming about getting into a freshly made bed and rewarding about making a bed, standing back and viewing the luxury.

Anyway getting out of bed now !!!!

Cycling in Tissington: Happy Birthday to me

It was a beautiful day, we hired bikes for 1/2 a day - i was a bit wobbly to start with as i haven't ridden for a long time - sooooo many years.

The ride is slightly up hill but if i could manage it then anyone can - believe me. We cycled about 4 miles to Tissington village, ate a small picnic and cycled back - the way back was all downhill i only had to cycle about 4 times - it was so refreshing and relaxing to hear the birds singing and feel the wind on your face and the smell of wild flowers and the damp sweet smell of the earth .

If you are able ..............treat yourself and take the time to cycle The Tissington Trail.
