It has been wonderful weather today, and I am so glad that I have chosen this week for me to start my maternity leave as it has been just perfect.  I spent this morning pottering a bit and planting some seeds in the garden with mum (parsley and rocket) and generally enjoying the sunshine and the afternoon was spent going for a leisurely walk with my man, down to the river and enjoying even more sunshine.

I have got less than a month till my due date now and the preparations are nearly complete.  I have been washing all the baby cloths that I bought and was given, with soap flakes that where salvaged from my aunts house and are probably about 20 years old, but I’m sure they are pretty unchanged.  It was a weird feeling to be hanging a load of baby-grows out on the line.
