Lady In Waiting

Well here we are, the bags are packed and in the car, ready for that highly anticipated trip to the hospital, I’ve stocked up on onesies, I know the baby isle in Boots pretty well now…I’ve asked around and found out the reason behind ‘nipple shields’ (sounds terrifying, right!!?) and so am feeling somewhat ready for this baby to come…well, almost!32weeksThe last 9 weeks in Ireland have been a roller coaster of emotions and busyness and I’ve hardly touched this blog! So here is a mix-mash of all we have got up too…not quite a baby-moon/ pre-baby vacation but we’ve certainly taken advantage of some good food with friends, great coffee shops and drives along country roads…usually on the way to meet and share with you lovely friends. So this is us, before we can use the word ‘PARENT’ to describe ourselves! Isn’t that a  scary thought!roadtrip1Visiting the wonderful people of Co.

12 Dates of Christmas 4…5…6…and 7

It’s hard to believe it’s already December 28th…Christmas 2013 is over and we’ve been in Ireland for a week now! We tried to cram in as many Christmassy traditions as we could but with final classes, packing, flying home and a cold there just wasn’t enough days in the week!! Yet this time of year has been the best reminder of the things I have to be thankful for. A roof over my head and food on the table. Friends who pop in, just to talk and catch up. I’m thankful for family and a husband who continuously go above and beyond to make me feel loved and supported. And most of all on Christmas – that our Saviour was born.  A light to light up the world! I am blessed. So beyond blessed.

Here are a few of our dates before flying home…
