The countdown begins...

Well, today there are only 5 days to go until I go into hospital to have Beanie. Scary!! It hardly seems possible that it is nearly that time already.

It's been a bit of a strange week as on Thursday, 3rd May, Kevin and I spent time remembering Daniel as it was the second anniversary of his death. One of those days where you know it is going to be pretty awful but are glad to get out the way, nonetheless. In some ways two years isn't a long time in others it feels like it has dragged. How do you move on from such a life changing event? Somehow you do. Kevin and I do look back with fond memories and joy in the delight of our little boy but the obvious sadness never leaves you. It has been of comfort to us that people remember him and it has given us the opportunity to share happier moments of our lives with him.

That was the week just gone, the week ahead is going to be all about Beanie. This is quite an emotional adjustment. We are blessed to be having another child, something that we don't take lightly at all (those of you that see me know that there is nothing light about me just at the moment...) Whilst we are not overflowing with excitement at this stage, we can look forward to the future with hope. By this time next week, the waiting will be over and our baby born. Who knows when I will get the chance to blog after that.

Thanks for all your encouragement and prayers as we become parents again. This can be the most gentle of touches particularly when we are bruised.
