Very Small Feet

Here is Wales are a bit behind to open up. Hospitality is still closed unless for take away but non essential shops are reopening. And it is exciting to see actual people...  And see that stupid long queue to Primark! It’s not great fast fashion brand, all the men made fabrics, poor factory worker conditions.... I know each to their own and such and I did shop in primark, but I am trying to make better choices... I tend to think before I shop (check out my posts on second hand September)  I don’t need new clothes. I am trying to get back into my pre pregnancy clothes. And they must be breast feeding friendly.... and I don’t really know what size I am and how long I would stay. Safe to say I need jeans but as one cannot try them ... it’s no go for me. I actually got some vintage dungarees on eBay, but they haven’t arrived yet.  After being in lockdown for so long I understand how much we all might want to get out and shop in person and see people.... I was dying to go to charity shops. 

It’s hard when you do the school pick up, kids want to tell stuff to their parents. Well most of them do... Our Egg is just happy to see us and we don’t know what he was going until the school report comes in...  he is doesn’t talk. He says things only when he wants to...  So when he started to come in to kiss his baby bother good night he started to say “Vav you” our hearts were so full... my eyes well up just thinking of it.  It is incredible that he chose to say love you to his brother and now to us when we kiss. We are so lucky to have this wonderful loving boy.  He is always looking very concerned when his baby bro starts to cry. And is very penitent waiting till we need to stop faffing with pram and such...  Obviously it is hard now knowing what’s up with Big all the time. It’s a guessing, educated guess, game all the time. Definitely not a dull moment!  But I am sure glad holidays are over and school is back in full swing (well with Covid restrictions)! 

 So it’s been what over a year since I had a glass of wine. I have to say the booze-free and low alcohol game has improved since my last pregnancy... I had some amazing stuff to drink over winter holidays.  I had the middle bitter with tonic water and some citrus fruit and it was so tasty! Even Big had couple of sips, and he isn’t a fan of fizzy drinks.  I even had that alcohol free/low alcohol advent! Which I still need to write about!  So after doing some research I decided to have a cheeky glass of red wine. You know these tiny bottles that designed for one glass? Yeah that one. Hubby picked up a Cabernet Sauvignon one of my favourite ones and from South America...  It was flavour explosion! I could taste all the woodiness, all the dark fruits, plums, the dark chocolate... it was like having all your life mild cheddar and then suddenly tasting stinking bishop cheese. Insane.  But I am still a “milk farm” and will not be having another for some time, I found I felt very stressed abou

Life took over like it always does...  In brief I am trying to get into routine with two kids. And get the little into routine. But it’s tricky. He is breast fed and it’s in demand and we are still figuring it you. Hopefully 12 weeks check up can provide some advice. Fingers crossed. Oh and breastfeeding goes well. We even had a feed al fresco. And no one was flashed or got milk into the eyes!  The big is being happy being back at school and well holidays are a bit tricky... but we are doing alright. Some days are better then others.  I didn’t run since I have injured myself. I have recovered and am stronger. Lots of walks!  Spring time is pretty awesome for walks! But it was snowing today... but then we also wore shorts  And we both had our 1st rounds of vaccinations... days are getting longer and it feels like new life again. Restrictions being eased and of course some idiots already abused it.. these cov-idiots make me so angry. Like we all want this pandemic to be over but then why
