Winding down now after the Christmas celebrations and wondering how we'll get everything back in the car and down to Cork tomorrow.
It's been a primarily family Christmas with time spent mostly with my mother, brother and sister in law.
We also saw Angela and Fintan, friends of ours expecting their first child for December 29th. I was really glad to see them, as we've not been up to Dublin since they announced their news, and we were keen to catch up before the big day. They were looking great and in grand form, I'm glad to say. Best of luck to them for a hitch-free delivery just a few days overdue ('cos of free insurance cover for the year the child is born in; daft system).
There's a lot of it about. My brother and his wife are expecting too, friends from work has just had their first child, a cousin in London is a proud daddy now and a schoolmate of Rowan's is waiting for a new baby brother or sister on the 29th too. Far too much baby sniffing going on, obviously.
Our two shouldn't be expected any siblings however, especially if they keep up the odd hours and nocturnal wakings. Excellent contraceptive, utter fatigue.
Anyway, despite the decidedly procreative turn this post has taken, I'm happy to report a fun family Christmas. Now all we have to do is pack, drive to Cork and in a couple of days do it all over again with Sam's parents.
