Things are Good

Hello my lovelies....just bobbing into the Attic to say a quick hi-de-hi to you all and to let you know that Things are Good here.

My days and nights seem to be extremely loooong and very full at the moment (as you would expect) and many of my usual day to day pleasures have simply been buried under the demands of new Motherhood. I can't remember the last time I did any crochet, I simply have not found a way to fit it in just yet, but rest assured it won't be this way for long.

Some things continue to bring me much needed comfort in times of need :: a simple jug of sweetly scented hyacinth stems, good chocolate, endless cups of steaming hot tea, some delicious magazines to get carried away in. The usual Good Things that rock my simple little boat.

J returned to work today after doing a rather fantastic job on the home front last week. He learnt to work the oven and the washing machine. He went forth and purchased food and cooked us nutritious meals. And today I missed him.

The Little People and I managed to get out of the house on time this morning and in good spirits for our first school run with Pushchair Addition. It was cold and grey and foggy, but I really enjoyed being back in the Real World again, breathing in the cold winters air, stretching my legs after what has felt like a long time closed up indoors with my feet up. It felt Good.

 

And well....the rest of the day was fully taken up with caring for Little B. H'e's a very time consuming Little Bundle for sure.

There he is look, a little peek of him as he sleeps snuggled in amongst a bed of colourful Hooky Goodness. His daytime naps are taken in the Big Chair in the light of the bay window as we are trying to clear up some mild jaundice and I am told that daylight is the thing to do it.

I am resting up when I can during the day and going to bed ridiculously early in order to cope with my new job as round the clock Milk Tanker. It's not a bad job. There are some very lovely snugglesome perks.

Like I say, Things are Good.

Glad to hear you're all doing well. And if you figure out how to get crocheting please let me know. My baby's now 5 months and I'm missing my knitting and crocheting!

Lovely photo, Lucy. Glad all is going well - congratulations on getting out for the school run on time - not an easy task! You'll be back at the crochet very soon, I'm sure...

[Amanda]

Lucy, so glad 'things are good' he looks so peaceful, take good care of yourself (if you get chance), amanda xxx

[Lisha]

Aaaah! You're doing one of the best jobs (and hardest) jobs in the world, being a mum and juggling three children.

It's good to see the little joys in your day, otherwise you get swamped down. It's also good to see that lovely little ear and curled fingers snuggled in your colours.

May the sun continue to shine for you and your family.

Awwwwwwww.

So very glad to hear that things are good. It is so much fun to see little glimpses of Little B. Very , very sweet. Our youngest was jaundiced and time in the sun helped alot. Can remember well the days of being the milk tanker ~ wonderful and completely exhausting at the same time! I am amazed you find the time and energy to post at all. So glad that you do! xoxo

[Susan Hardy]

Oh Lucy,

He is so beautiful. I dont expect you have much time for any crafts at the moment. But hey, your an experienced Mum and you will soon be back to fitting it in once baby is settled into a routine.

All the best to you all!

[Aqeela]

Wel my little zakareeya is 8 and a half months old now and ive still not managed to get my sewing machine out more than once! But the time will come, baby time is precious right now, x

[Halfway Crafter]

Glad things are going well for you.

[Louise]

Good to see/read you! So glad things are going well, the photo of your little man is gorgeous. xx

[MaiT]

congratulations on your day out!! :D

[Rachel]

Ahh Lucy, you sound so happy ! I'm so pleased for you!
Your new addition is a little cutie!
Make sure you rest up!Rachel x

[louise]

Ok thats me all broody again!
So precious and lots of hair, my girls both had lots of black hair although soon went blonde.
That milk machine feeling I remember it well, maybe not so broody now!!
much love take care
Louise

Good to hear you are enjoying your happy early days with your sweet baby! Eat lots of flapjack - oats are very good for us milk-tankers to keep up production! Plus of course, why wouldn't anyone want to eat flapjack?!

[Jennifer]

It's wonderful to hear that you are all doing well. Having a hubby at home to do some of the work while you are tending to baby can make such a big difference. Look at all that gorgeous hair, all of my babies were born with heads full as well. Get plenty of rest and lots of snuggles with that gorgeous babe (and the bigger kids too).

[pip :: meetmeatmikes]

What a teeny gorgeous creature! Well done you! xxx

[Karin]

Lucy!

I'm glad you and your little one are doing fine!
Take care!

So glad all is going well and that the little bundle is settling. I have just spent a few hours enjoying some of your earlier posts and it is so inspiring to see you enjoying every (or most of them) minute of your life and seeing the joy in the small things. Thanks for sharing.
