Today

Today we attended Maiya's birthday party at the soft play. Owen had a great time. In the afternoon I finished my whispersync audio / ebook, The Nothing Girl, while Owen played in the garden.

Today we went to see jousting at Blenheim Palace and Owen walked loads. Afterwards he told us appreciatively that he's had a nice day, and promptly fell asleep in the car.

Today Peter and I went to the cinema to watch Guardians of The Galaxy Vol 2 with baby in lap while Owen was in nursery. Really enjoyed it very much!

Today we collect Owen early from his nursery to attend Jude's birthday party. Peter went with him while I stayed home with baby and listen to The Nothing Girl audiobook.

Today while Owen was in nursery, I drove to Witney to buy birthday presents for the parties Owen will be going to, and went to lunch in a new restaurant.

Today we stayed at home all day. A skip came to take away the rubbles, our new patio was officially finished.

Today we stayed home and Owen opened more birthday presents. Baby had a blocked nose and feeding at night had been tedious, leaving me exhausted.

Today was Owen's pirate birthday party in the forest. Was nice to meet his friends' parents. I was exhausted and had a migraine in the afternoon.

Today grandparents came down to help and I made Owen's birthday cupcakes. He played at our new patio for the first time.

Today we went to Witney to get supplies for Owen's party on Sunday and in the evening I baked some cheesy coins.

Today I started making some party food for Owen's birthday party on Sunday while carrying baby in a sling.

Today I found out I could vacuum the house while carrying baby in a sling. I felt like a superwoman.

Today we went to the hospital in Oxford and then to the Natural History Museum afterwards.

Today we went back home. Both children fell asleep for almost the entire journey.

Today we celebrated Easter and Owen's birthday. He was very excited but sleepy (woke up since 6am), and didn't want to try the balance bike I got him.

Today we went to Peter's parents for the Easter weekend, and both children were very good in the car, awake but not grumpy or crying. When we arrived, baby was smiley and observant.

Today we went to the Easter event at Blenheim Palace but it wasn't as good as I'd expected as it was cold and windy and Owen was grumpy and prone to tantrums.

Today I was exhausted from a tough night of breastfeeding (where I breastfed baby from 1 to 4am non-stop, and then every 30mins-1 hour afterwards). It don't understand. What did she do with the milk? Where did it go? She couldn't possibly hold that much milk.

Today I went for my 6 weeks postnatal check. Someone came to start work on our patio. Very excited about having a patio soon!

Today we stayed home and tried to let Peter get some work done, but we still had our hands full with hyperactive Owen (who was very happy all day), and a constantly nursing baby.
