This year has been a bit mad for everyone hasn't it?
I thought I'd give a little life update anyway. Back in January I got my promotion to a band 6 nurse practitioner in my job with a new uniform. So that was awesome. We also went back to Northern Ireland for a short visit. Which we knew it would be our last one until the baby arrives. I finished my degree certificate in minor injuries and illnesses. Then coronavirus happened. As I was pregnant, my manager put me on special covid19 leave. So I went off work a whole month earlier than I was supposed to start maternity leave. I went into labour exactly on my due date 16th of May and gave birth on the 17th which was my original date for my EDD. It was a very long and difficult labour I won't lie. But baby Zack was born safely so I am glad of that. Recovery was very slow and I'm still not out of the woods yet. We now have a two month old and I can't believe it. He's doing amazingly, he can smile, laugh, and loves silly noises and faces. He loves his little play gym, and cot mobile. He's just a wee dote with the most beautiful hair. I'm loving being a mummy, it's tiring and difficult at times, but he's such a good baby and so easy going for the most part that it just makes me so proud to be his mummy. I've also been nesting. I swear my pregnancy was back to front. I was so tired all the time. I did have a bit more energy towards the end and was even baking and stuff but I didn't have any inclination to nest at all towards the end. In fairness, I did nest a bit when I was 7 months pregnant but nothing since lol. Now, hahaha... Now every crevice, nook and cranny in my home is getting cleaned and decluttered. Lol. Wardrobes have been pulled out. New storage equipment has been bought, assembled and utilised. Kitchen cupboards raided, restocked and reorganised. Under the stairs and all too! I've still more rooms to tackle, but I'm enjoying it for the most part. I've also taken up more crafting hobbies. I started making wreaths, I took up jewellery making again. I've been making chalkboard and a key holder. I've baked bread, made icecream, baked buns, muffins, banana bread and donuts. I've even been teaching myself how to do my nails properly which has been awesome! I've had to keep myself occupied during lockdown. I hate sitting and doing nothing. I don't mind a wee day here and there doing very little but for the most part I love to stay active and learn and try new things. It becomes a little harder to do that now I have a little one to care for but it's doable ATM.
