So - it was yesterday that Lissa had her baby at 6.37am. I had stayed up until 4am and then was awake again just before 8am - so yesterday I was knackered! I found it difficult to do much because I was so tired. It was my day off too and Andy was working int eh basement all day on a work related music thing, so I was pretty much on my own. The weather was gorgeous, but as I have found before its pretty boring in the garden on your own as you can't even go on your phone or laptop because you can't see the screen!
So, I just sat here and basically messaged with Lissa and looked at the baby pictures she sent! Ada is such a cutey!!
I was woken up early by our guests thundering up the stairs (about 8am) I am sat here now - Friday - 9.34am and Lissa has just told me that she is going to video call me in a minute! So I'll get to have a proper look at the baby!
I can hear Andy getting up too.
So - my computer just died! Thought it had completely given up - not had this computer long either - AND my phone died too - keeps freezing and I have to restart every time I use the camera - I went for a walk outside and took this pic b4 it all froze....
Nope - the picture doesn't exist...
Nevermind. So Lissa was going to video call me when everything died...then she was having a check up - then I had a shower - now she is waiting for the midwife! So we'll get there eventually. Apparently the cheese and pate I ordered for her will turn up today - kicking myself now for now ordering myself some too!!
Yesterday I put a swing up in the garden that I had ordered - I received it and then had to wait again because I had to order some stuff to be able to attach it to the tree. I have got it all up but I ordered a child's swing so my butt only just fits in and it is a bit painful so I am going to have to order another one!!
So - I just got off a video call with Lissa - was awesome to see her and Ada! We spoke about the birth, and how wonderful it is to have your baby! She also said - and ppl might hate her for this - that her belly has just gone flat and back to normal again (mostly) lol.
We were saying how she looks like the pic she had done of the scan - look at this:
Lissa was saying how she can see herself in Ada - I'm struggling - to me she looks so much like Antony...saying that - I think I can Lissa in her in this pic:
Although this pic is awesome cos her her tiny cute foot - I also really like how cute her face looks in this one too!!
Right - I'm off to make bread - I'll update this post again later today.
So - bread turned out well!
NOTThis was a new recipe I tried - I was dubious to start with! Its not good because it is so difficult to buy bread flour atm - any flour actually!
We braved our local shop and managed to get supplies!
Then - we made our way into the garden - and spent the afternoon there! Weather so gorgeous atm! Andy had a work thing where they had all recorded music stuff and it went live from 4.30pm - he had done a video and he was singing Zombie - his was really good - not all of them were lol - but all better than I could have done! I was sat on our swing chair - and I had a video call - at first for a little while with Paul - and then for over an hour with Helen! It was nice to be able to do that - especially as Andy was pre-occupied! Helen told me all about a memorial thing she did with all the kids in the family - for my dad. We both ended up a bit teary talking about the kids getting upset and telling their own stories about grandad. I think it was an awesome thing she did for the kdis. Unfortunately - only Candice contacted Helen afterwards, none of the other parents said anything to her. Don't know if this means that they didn't think it was a good thing that they had did or whether they just haven't thought to thank her...
During the day I also received lots of lovely baby pics! which is awesome - she really is a very good looking, gorgeous baby!
We had a couple of burgers on the BBQ - and then eventually came inside - when I couldn't hack the heat anymore - but I think it was still after 6pm. A little later we got on the Oculus and killed Zombies with Helen and Paul! I wasn't up for it really but it was so much fun!! I quit about midnight - knowing I had to get a decent sleep ready for work the next day :-(
A great day though.....
