In different information, in case you missed the announcement online, I’m pregnant with a brand new child due in early February, so we’re very enthusiastic about that!!
There will probably be a five-year age hole between my daughter Lola and this child, however I nonetheless hear quite a lot of good tales from different individuals with greater sibling age gaps.
However, that doesn’t appear to imply that they’ll’t nonetheless be pals as they develop up. I hope I nonetheless bear in mind learn how to do the new child and child levels because it’s been a bit of bit … it’s like using a motorbike, proper??
Right here’s what else I’m enthusiastic about this week …
