June 7th 2007

It's been over 6 months since I last wrote and a lot has happened. I'll try to summarise! The original plan was to move house in January - it didn't happen. Neither did February, and March only just happened - we moved on March 31st! So we are now in Northampton! House is lovely but cluttered as we have had next to no time to settle in yet. Area seems great so far, but am feeling a little lonely and miss all my Basingstoke friends like mad. Hoping to meet more people and do more things once school starts in September!

The pregnancy continued to have its problems. I was in and out of hospital a few times with bouts of bleeding. My kidneys started packing in at the end of the pregnancy too. Then we had to move house when I was 39 weeks pregnant which was somewhat stressful. I finally went into labour on April 18th. The birth went something along the lines of - woke up with a "tummy ache". Hoped like mad it was labour. Got the contraction from hell at 6amand I gave birth at 7:30am! Not what I was expecting at all. We had another gorgeous girl - she weighed 9lbs 5oz and looks like Jenna did as a baby! We named her Kathryn Harriet, but we generally call her Kitty.

Unfortunately, two days after giving birth I had a haemorrage. I had to go into hospital and have a blood transfusion, lots of IV fluids and was stuffed full of antibiotics for a while. Kitty's been fine however, which is far more important. She's now 7 weeks old... and still gorgeous!

I've now set up Kitty's webpage which you can get to via the "Kitty" link on the left. I'll be back again soon with any updates and maybe piccies of the new house... must clean it first ;)

UPDATE: June 12th 2006

I have now got Kitty and Bryony's pages up-to-date now. Some of Bryony's photo pages are blank and that is intentional as I was a bad mummy and didn't take many photos those particular months. (They were actually the months that I had hospital stays in, so I do have an excuse!) Hope you enjoy them, and I hope to have Jenna, Rhianna and Euan's sorted soon!

UPDATE: June 18th 2006

We've just had the twins birthday go past - they turned 2 on June 14th! Where has the time gone?! We had a small tea-party type thing for them. Rhianna was poorly for the day unfortunately, but Euan and all the others enjoyed the day anyway! Thank you to everyone who sent them a card/present/money - you are all very kind! :)
Jenna's pages are now (sort of) up to date. I say sort of because I haven't got the photos off the camera to do the last month yet, but apart from that it is all there now :) Moving on to do the twins next and Kitty's 2nd month too!
