It's the middle bit between Christmas and New Year and after 17 years of always working one, this year I had them all off because this time last year I was writing a job application for a job that was based from home with flexible working! I love being a nurse, I love the NHS but family comes first and juggling childcare with family and friends as many hours were outside paid childcare hours was just too stressful, tiring, guilty! I didn't dare jump ship fully so went part time with old and new job, in September I jumped fully! I'm loving learning so much in a new job, having childcare that fits and being flexible. I do miss the old gang but life and work life balance is so much better.
I can't believe I've not written since before naming ceremony, a lovely day if a tad OTT! (all me!). Several friends found it hard, 2 godparents (odd parents) had lost babies. I'm glad to say that although those babies will be forever missed that two rainbow babies arrived this year! They're making me broody.
My little man is a full on threenager now. School applications done, moved to local nursery and settled. My next plan us house move so I can do it again! I really don't want him to be a single child.
I just became East Midlands Adoption UK rambler leader! Arranging walks for east mid adopters and families 4 times a year. It's a new post in East mids, going on West kids walk and meet organiser next week.
We had a lovely manic Christmas, my boy chatters and sings at the rate of knots. He's suddenly grown up so fast.
Letterbox is in full swing, return letters take a while due to emotions. I happily send loads of photos. I don't want him to one day realise the pain birth family feels over such a difficult decision and say why didn't you help with their pain when you help others? So if a few extra pics helps then so be it.
It's so long since I blogged that I've forgotten how to add a picture! Experimenting time!
