Monday, March 17, 2008 Ria is feeling unprepared!

Jon’s mum has now bought us the Natures Sway hammock cradle that we wanted, it’s so snuggly – we set it up hanging from a door way and before long all manner of pretend babies (including the pup) were having a go. Lots of our older relatives have gone overdrive on the knitting front, I’m not sure how many cardigans a baby needs, but I think we have that covered now!

I went to see Kelly recently with Jon’s sister, she is looking so well, and seems to be really happy. Libby looked tiny, I had a cuddle and felt very scared! I feel really under-prepared to have a baby as a I really don’t know much about them, and would be much happier if a puppy came out – I know what to do with them! It does worry me a bit, and I’ve spoken to mum about it, but she assures me that it’s so different when it’s your own, and I can understand that totally.

I also went up to see my good friend Katie who was one of my bridesmaids and is also expecting. Her bump is due in a month, and typically of her and James her husband they are halfway through renovating and moving into a new house. At the moment it is like a building site, with leaking roof, no kitchen, no floors and a very dusty and concerned Katie in the middle of the mess! I don’t think they’ll be ready for baby, and will have to stay put in their current house for a little bit longer, at least that’s not something we have to worry about. Next weekend I’m going up to London to see my mum and sister and I think we’ll have a little visit to Ikea and start investigating a few things!
