the big 2-9

Today I hit the grand old age of 29. Being pregnant on your birthday makes it somewhat less exciting (no boozy nights out for me)! We got lots done (the dreaded pushchair shopping is now complete) and then my big sister provided birthday tea and my niece provided her usual standard of entertainment. Very nice too. Hopefully the 30th will be a bit more of a standard birthday (I'll book in mother for babysitting duties now)!

In other news, I realised today I am now the age my stepfather was when I met him. It's terrifying to think he took on 3 children at this tender age - he's a braver man than most!!!
