Munchkin came home yesterday after a week on holiday with his grandparents.  He seemed to have a great time and apparently wasn't any trouble!  Since he got home he's been re-trying all his boundaries and within 24 hours I feel as shattered and 'tried' as though I hadn't had a week without him!!!  However, it is lovely to have him back again.  The house has been very lonely and quiet without him and both hubby and I have missed him a lot.

The chimney breasts are gone!  And so is most of the dust.  The walls, floors and ceiling are 'made good' and we've got things back (ish) to where they should be.  It all just needs some serious decorating!

We went to a 'refresher' antenatal class yesterday morning.  It was actually quite good.  I had wondered whether there was any point at all in doing a class having gone through the whole giving birth thing less than 2 years ago, but it was actually useful and I felt that I got something out of it.  Having done it once I suppose that there are different questions to be answered and different concerns as well as knowing what went well and what didn't hence what you want to concentrate on being better prepared for (to try and make it better).  Of course, I am well aware that sometimes these things don't go to plan and everything is out of the window, but I am a great believer that the more information we have the better equipped we are to make a choice in a situation.
