6th September

Quiet day today. Feeling really restless and wanting something to happen, even though I know that I am probably at least two weeks away from meeting pumpkin, and if it takes after it's father probably a lot longer. It's a bit like waiting for Christmas bit not really knowing what day Christmas will be. Favourite dinner tonight - Chinese Vegetables and brown rice. Yum!

Boy did it rain today. Torrential heavy rain that went on all morning. In my constant quest to improve my photography skills I tried to take some photos, some better than others. I need to work on understanding how to alter the shutter speed without under/over exposing the picture. We also got the new sink fitted which is far nicer than the old one, although in comparision looks big enough to bathe a baby in.

Another normal day, bought some milk, went for a walk and had a nap. Watched some pre-recorded Desperate Housewives and Who do you think you are. Just general things. And then as I was on my walk I saw this amazing grass head which I managed to photograph. I must make time to savour the little things.

Today was James' first day back at work. The house felt very empty once he had gone - after 6 weeks I was used to having him around and missed him. However, I filled up the day doing little chores and waiting for him to come home. Can't wait for Pumpkin to arrive now - I'm sure that I won't be bored then!

This morning was beautiful, so I went outside to practise taking a few more photographs of my back garden.

The problem with being so heavily pregnant is that my opportunities for taking photos are limited to things around the house and I think that James is getting a little bored of being my model. Hopefully I will have a new model soon!

Today was James' last day off work - it's amazing how quickly 6 weeks have gone by. We had a perfect day washing baby clothes, going for a little walk at Knightshaynes and having hot chocolate and cakes in the tea shop. Probably our last little trip out before Pumpkin arrives.

These are also some of the layouts I have completed lately having been inspired by the very talented ladies at Studio Calico

Weekend breakfast - poached eggs on marmite on toast, tea, juice, and bread and jam. It marks the weekend out as different from the week and is something to really look forward to, savour and enjoy.
