Putting away the Guess bag...

I had to indeed put away my gorgeous Guess bag and start using my Nappy bag!!  Truth be told, I haven't even thought about my Guess bag in the past few months, but it awaits further use, safely stowed away in my cupboard (which needs tidying and clearing out by the by!).  I love my Nappy bag, it is so handy and easy to take with me, containing close to everything but the kitchen sink!!  As I am discovering, you clearly need a lot of 'stuff' when you have a baby.  And you can never have too much!!

Leaving the house is one of the most challenging things I do these days - not simply leaving the house, such as for a walk - that is ok; it's when it's leaving the house to be somewhere by a certain time... what is a deadline, what is a meeting time, and why does anyone set them?!  They clearly don't think about us Mummies!!  I like to go at my own (read: The Baby's) pace/routine, so getting somewhere by some time, is actually a real challenge :)  However, most of the time, we manage pretty well. 

For the first 6 weeks I couldn't drive as Emily arrived via C-Section so we just relaxed and got used to each other at home.  It was lovely in fact, not to have to go anywhere or be anywhere!  But since then we have ventured out a little, still close to home though.  

I have joined a local coffee group - very casual - but great to meet other mums and babies, and have been invited to join another coffee group with really lovely, down to earth mums.  I am also meeting mums and babies all the time, my social circle is truly expanding!  My Mom always said this would happen when there was a baby involved!

Speaking of babies, mine is squeaking from her sleep.. till next time!
