The first week of December has flown by and it’s almost Daisy’s birthday. She is going to be 2 and I’m still wondering where the time went, It feels like yesterday that I was in the hospital for a pointless induction that ended in a C-Section.

Daisy has brought so much joy to our lives since she arrived, she has kept us going through some tough emotional times and reminded us every day to be thankful for everything we have.

My husband Chris is a fantastic guitar player and he has an amazing singing voice which I hope he passes on to Daisy, she loves playing & singing along on Daddy’s Ukelele.

I have been asking Daisy to set the table this week.  She loves helping me with the housework and it’s never too early to learn, she finds so much fun in the simplest of things & has spent most of the week playing with cardboard tubes from the wrapping paper, she calls it a ‘der der’.

Our house is looking very festive and we may have indulged in a Mince Pie and Chocolate or two. We have stored out tubs of chocolate at the in-laws’ house, it’s the only way to ensure they make it to Christmas. we have no will-power over chocolate in this house!

I may have helped Daisy do some Christmas colouring.

These Festive doughnuts are from the Co-op, I’m a sucker for the word ‘Festive’ if a food product says it then I’m buying it!

I spent the weekend wrapping presents & watching films. We used Chris’s Google Play credit that he won to watch Pacific Rim, I initially watched it to indulge in my Charlie Hunnam obsession but it was actually not too bad, the effects were amazing even if the acting was a bit ham.

Next week sees us celebrating Daisy’s birthday with a trip to a soft play place, followed by a trip to the midwife where we will hear tiny Webster’s heartbeat for the first time.

Hope you are all having fun & getting into the festive mood.
