Light at the end of the tunnel

Having something, anything, to look forward to keeps me sane.

Now we are on our way to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands for a week of sun, sand and surf. Mom and Dad will be joining us which makes me really really happy. This will be good for Tai to bond with his grandparents and vice versa.

I know they are desperate to see him again. It's only been 4 months since they last kissed Tai (on our trip to Canada in October) but they grow faster than you can imagine. No wonder he eats like a horse!

We have found a house in Winchester as well and that makes me feel like the momentum of eventually relocating there is becoming a reality.

When there are no friends or family around, being a new mum can be very lonely. I didn't realize just how isolated I felt until I got a mild cold and couldn't bear the fact of taking care of a baby.

It's funny how even your breasts don't produce as much milk when you are feeling ill... which then leads to a hungrier baby and that is never good news.
