Five month blog silence

It wasn't intentional. Life just passed me by! Not long after my last post, I found out I was pregnant again and before long the sickness and intense tiredness hit. The run up to Christmas was tough going, and then just when I felt I was getting my stride back in the new year, Daniel took ill and then so did both of us! 

I often find winter tough going-it's dark going to work, dark coming home and the days are cold and in Belfast, often also wet! We got one of those natural sunrise alarm clocks this autumn and it definitely made waking in the deepest days of winter easier, but I long for the longer days. I can feel spring in the air, it won't be long now before the flowers are out and there is a warmth to the sun, and this baby (currently 24 weeks old, albeit the side before birth!) is an actual person living outside of my body! 

So here's to spring and all the positivity it brings! I'm thankful for living somewhere where we see the wonder of creation and the variation in the seasons and long for that first day I leave the house without a jumper. St Patrick's Day. As long as it's not snowing...
