e-nesting

Whilst I was pregnant, I read a lot of pregnancy related information.  Probably too much.  But then there is a lot of information out there.  One of the phenomena I read about was the 'nesting instinct'.  Apparently, as labour approaches, many women get this instinct.  It can cause strange behaviour like cleaning your home from top to toe with a toothbrush.  This didn't happen to me; I thought that labour would never come.

But something else happened.

Just a day or 2 before I went into labour, I started furiously organising the music files on my computer - removing duplicates, making sure that they were correctly organised by band, album etc.  Is this e-nesting?  Did the phenomena happen to me after all?!

I still haven't finished this organisation by the way... maybe it'll never get done.

Where does the time go?

It's been a while since I posted on my blog. But I've been a little busy with something else. Our daughter, Eilidh, arrived on 31 January. There should be little excuse in the weeks leading up to Eilidh's birth as I did have some maternity leave... But somehow those days were busy too. I was still working 2 days a week and was trying to fit in as many chores, pamper sessions and social engagements as I could.

Eilidh is now 5 weeks old and it's difficult to remember what life was like before she came along. Life now is taken up with feeding and nurturing Eilidh along with the daily household chores that build up. Making lists of 10 things to do in a day (ha!) now seems a completely alien concept. I'm sure it won't be like this forever, so I'm trying to enjoy every minute that I'm completely focused on Eilidh. 

So the blog will suffer. I used to aim for a post every week, but perhaps every fortnight or month is now more realistic! So I will still write, but not quite as often. Until next time, adieu.
