Oh dear, sorry about that. I wish I could tell you that I have been really busy and haven't had time to write a blog post but as you already know I don't like telling lies lol. I wish I could tell you that I have lots to share with you and tell you but that's not really true either. I also wish I could tell you that I have been busy scrapping and I have lots of layouts to share with you, there are a few layouts I have managed to do this month to share with you but that's not the reason either. To be honest the reason I haven't blogged is really simple I haven't had anything to blog about. I haven't been spending much more than the time it takes to check my email on the computer each day, partly because sitting at my desk isn't really easy at the moment thanks to the constant headaches and pain everywhere, but it wouldn't be very honest if I didn't admit that although that part of the reason the majority of it is I don't want to be on the computer. The pregnancy seems to have drained anything resembling motivation from my body, I am tired all the time and for some reason unknown to me I seem to have retreated away from people in general. I have no desire to post on forums or talk to my online friends at the moment. They haven't done anything wrong, and I don't really feel more depressed than usual so I don't really have an explanation. Maybe it's because I have nothing to say I haven't been out of the house except for appointments or maybe it's because I am feeling so ill and I don't feel like talking. I really hate to admit this but I haven't really missed it as much as I would have done even a few months ago. There was a time when I was inseperable from my computer I checked emails a couple hundred times a day because I didn't want anyone to have to wait for a response. Now it kind of seems unimportant. If you ask me what I have been doing instead I would probably shrug my shoulders because I really don't know. I have listened to a few audiobooks on my ipod but that's usually while Mark is watching television and Lukas is on the computer. We have started sorting a few things out in the house but nothing major and that was all done in a few days. The time seems to go by just as quick with nothing getting achieved even when I don't use the computer. Anyway I just wanted to check in and let you know why I have been kind of distant I guess I thought once I started writing this post I might understand the reasons too but I am just as clueless now as I was when I started it. I will leave you with those layouts and hope that next time I blog I actually have something to blog about. There are 6 layouts in total to share with you, maybe that tells you how little time I have been on the computer better than all the words managed to, hopefully I will find a way to get back to something more normal soon.
I can't remember what all of these layouts were done for so I am just going to post them with the credits and I will come back another time and add details and enabling when I remember too.

Journalling reads: I’ll let you in on a little secret. The whole time that I was trying to concentrate on saying my wedding vows. The only thing I really wanted to do was look back at you. I have never been in the situation before where you are so close, yet out of reach to me. In my head I was wishing the ceremony would hurry up and be over so I could have you back with me where you belong. When you couldn’t sit still anymore and wondered over to where we were sitting and signing the register, I don’t think I have ever been so glad to see you in my life. Once I had you sat on my lap again, I was finally able to relax and enjoy the moments that made me legally a married woman. I don’t know why it is but when I have you close to me I feel calm, like I can take on anything life can throw at me. I wasn’t worried anymore about tripping over the train on the dress, or forgetting the words I was supposed to say. At that moment I just felt content I had everything I could ever want in the world, You and Daddy right there next to me. and that made me feel happier than I could ever begin to find words to describe.

Journalling reads: Whenever you get out the construction toys I can’t help but watch. I love to see your little imagination at work. You sit for hours and mess around with bits and pieces to create anything from cars to robots, from boats to spaceships. But I think the best part is listening to you make up stories to go with your creations. Giving them voices and really making them come alive. I love how in your eyes their are no limits to what you create except what you can imagine.

Journalling reads: I love this photograph of you. It was taken when we were living with Nannie Freda & Grampy Andy. Daddy had the camera on the wrong setting and the shutter stuck as well, but you look so cute + adorable peering out of the back door with your bottle. The look on your face is just precious. I only wish I could remember what you were looking at in the back garden.
