Me and Mine {May}

So we're still here... The four of us, and with four days until due date we're counting down...

"How many more sleeps til the baby comes, Mama?"

"When is our baby going to come out?"

Little faces pressed against bump... "It's time to come out now little baby! We want to see you!"

I think it's fair to say we're all starting to get impatient. Of course, we could still have another two weeks of waiting...

I really hope not!

So I put off taking my "Me and Mine" photo this month in the hope that a photo in the garden with the four of us might not be necessary, that instead I might have a picture of the four of us, crowded around a fifth in a hospital ward... But it would seem our little one is just too comfy to play ball, and so another month we must wait!

In the meantime, we are making the most of these last easy-going, laid-back, sunshine days before the world revolves, once again, around a three hourly routine. It's so different preparing yourself for a third time... The girls have shown me each baby is different, they have their different quirks and personalities, but the seeming endlessness of those early weeks is given the perspective of experience.  The intensity of the initial weeks will not last forever... It is a season... To be enjoyed, savoured and cherished.

So we await, every day, the realisation that things are finally kicking off, and we can welcome our fifth little member into our little family. 

Me and Mine in May.

Bring on June!
