Well well, over 7 months of motherhood have FLOWN by.

Sorry I missed Christmas. I hope yours was at least as good as ours.

I thoroughly enjoyed my pregnancy apart from my lower back giving way round about the point we were moving flat... I did manage to paint half the bedroom ceiling before they banned me :p

Her daddy has taken to fatherhood like a duck to water. His were the first hands to hold her. We'd prepared as much as we could, so living the amazing adventure of welcoming her at home ourselves with just a little extra help truly made my day.

Thanks to the marvellous carrying scarf and my super baby who eats and sleeps and babbles happily in there, I've been able to get back to translating very easily. I've had some great jobs last term. At long last, my students are back for their English lessons which is a welcome change in rhythm. I haven't finished learning to drive yet though: I don't get round to organising the necessary trips out and a piercing fog-horn sets off as soon as we get into the car...

So 2012: new flat (new phone number + new address), new Baby, new Mama, new Papa, new car... and still my very own time-zone, MNSNT!

Happy New Year!
