Good grief, is it really five days since I last posted anything here? Time certainly flies when you’re in Swindon at your parents with a small baby and your lovely wife, and everybody is being terrifically nice to you and buying you presents and asking how everything’s going and taking loads of photos and stuff…
But thanks ever-so ever-so much to everyone who came to welcome Millie to Swindon – it was lovely to see you all, and especially nice to hear all the kind words and receive all the beautiful presents. Really, it was, and we came away feeling tired but very much loved, and hoping we didn’t seem too ungrateful.
But yes, we’re back now. Only…it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, since the new kitchen is still not quite finished, due to some rotten floorboards having to be replaced (although it does look beautiful…) That and the fact that our new – and very nice – upstairs neighbours are having a BIG party tonight, which they warned us about, and have generously moved the sound system to the opposite end of their house to that which we sleep under, but still, the Lovely Melanie has taken Millie to stay the night with “Uncle” Local Businsessman Shash Khan and “Auntie” Megan.
Yours truly is going for a quiet local drink with a couple of old friends and has elected to stay the night here and guard the campfire.
I have a whole bunch of pictures from Swindon to put up, but no time to put them up just now. I will say that in just the week since Millie came home I swear she’s grown a noticeable amount. She’s certainly grown out of some of her first clothes, something that amazes me, as she’s been so small for so long that her getting “big” seems utterly impossible. Nevertheless, she’s getting “big”. 😉
And remember, the “old” Millie page is safely archived away here, for when you get all nostalgic for the days of incubators and antibiotics.
