I haven’t managed to do a weekend edition post for ages, not since before our son was born, so I’m pleased that I’ve managed to do one this weekend. This week has been quiet for us; Mr FC has been off work so we have made the most of being together as a family. We have travelled to see various family members and even managed an overnight stay for the first time! He’s changing all of the time and continuously growing and his little personality is definitely showing now.
The start of October money-wise has been alright. We’ve had to do a food shop for the upcoming week and needed some house related products, so we have spent a bit, but the next few days should all be NSDs, making a good start to my October aims. I don’t really have any plans either; I have my 8 week post natal check up but that’s about it. Lots of staying indoors and baby cuddles, no doubt.
5 things I’ve enjoyed/been grateful for this week:
1) Happy, gurgling smiles from DS; it’s so adorable.
2) Managing to get down to see my grandparents with DS and they both managed a hold, which was such a special moment.
3) Homemade brownies with a cuppa – nothing better on a miserable day.
4) Seeing some friends who we haven’t seen in months for a good catch up.
5) The continued support of family and friends; we are so grateful and lucky for those who surround us.
3 blog posts I’ve enjoyed this week:
