Gardening Weekend & Visit from Alessandra!

Max and I finally tackled the garden this weekend. This makes me want to squeal 'yay' whenever I think about it!

We weeded, filled in the bunny warrens, picked up lots of dead leaves and bits of rubbishy cardboard and planted some new plants we bought from our local garden centre. Max also mowed the lawn for the first time with his lawn mower my Mum bought him last year!

My Dad came round too on sunday to give us a lovely wooden outside table and 8 chairs which he got for free from work, it is very fabulicious and we are very grateful! I cannot wait until the weather gets warm and we can BBQ away! We have never had our own BBQ before in our garden so this is a very exciting event.

Tallulah is 6 months old today, Wow, this is amazing and something that I find hard to sink in! She is the most awesome little person and I can't even remember life before her, what did I even do with my time hehe?

She is sitting up awesomely on her own and plays really sweetly and cutely with her toys, I find this totally amazing! Tallulah gives me so much joy, it is such a pleasure being her Mummy! Her favourite things to play with at the moment are little teething toys, board books, anything colourful and crinkly and the television remote!
I love the way her little hands reach out, the way her fingers fan out to grab the thing that she wants, can't resist kissing her ALL the time...heh!

Dra came to visit us today! Yay! She arrived all fresh and breezy this morning after catching the train and walking! I was so excited to see her and spend the day just us (and miss tallulah!). Tallulah and I were still in our PJ's and we made fried eggs and beans on toast yum yum, with fresh coffee! We decided on having a foody eating day, we finished off some chocolate cupcakes I made a few days ago and Dra started watching my New Moon Dvd while T and I got dressed. Ahh the joys of Twilight, I could watch/read it over and over again! We had a lovely chilled day watching crap on tv (which we do when we get together because our other halves don't really want to watch it with us!) and eating chocolate hot cross buns and lots of cups of tea! Tallulah got lots of special attention from Dra which she loved! We then went to the chip shop haha and got chips and pineapple fritters! Tallulah had a little nap so we spread out on the sofa and chomped our way through those! Then some cadburys mini eggs! We did some dancing about to the ipod and I made some fairy cakes for a friend's baby shower tomorrow....shhhhh secret squirrel! It is such a pleasure just being the company of Dra, we just click on the perfect level and there is nothing to hide! I find myself being so utterly honest about myself with her and it is very refreshing to be silly and completely yourself! We even attempted some yoga on the yoga channel, well Tallulah and I watched Dra haha, my tummy was rather full of chips.

And then she had to go...booo! But she came back very soon last time so hopefully it won't be too long until we get to be together soon! I want to go up to Derby and visit when the weather gets warmer, yes yes yes!

50,000 biscuits later...

I am feeling a bit random this evening, and finding my thoughts amusing. This could be due to the serious amount of sugar I have consumed today. An entire (-1) packet of choco libenz chocolate orange biscuits, hot chocolate + the works, and a quater of an apple pie with custard and a 900 cups of tea made by my lovely Grandma, plus the usual 3 large meals. Woah yeah.

I have to write about a slightly traumatic experience that happened yesterday after baby group. I decided to go through the car wash. When i was little I had a little phobia of the car wash, i didn't trust the washers and my vivid imagination imagined that they would go out of control and crush our car with their fuzzy brushiness. So I always used to get out and watch, just in case this happened.

As it happens, my car was pretty dirty, and I wanted to take it looking nice and shiny for it's m.o.t today, so I decided to brave the car wash as an independent woman with my babe sleeping peacefully in the back.

I pulled up at the front, feeling slightly nervous as my thoughts wandered back to childhood. A man comes over and I can't even get my electric window down so I have to actually open the door to pay him, quite embarassing. Then he waves me forward and gives me some instructions which I just do not get and he is being very polite and gesturing 'clutch down', which I finally understand and do, off to a cringeworthy start.

It is all happening, I am moving forward on the conveyorbelt into the car wash of doom, I have to admit I am feeling quite tense.

Everything gets going with its whooshing and squirting and the brushes are coming straight at me. Suddenly Tallulah starts yelling really loudly and I spin round to the back seat to find the window open slightly and a MASSIVE blue brush poking in the window and water squirting all over Tallulah who was previously peacefully asleep! Panic! Panic! My nightmare was happening, I tried to do up the window but then opened it instead, more water and brush...arggh! I finally managed to do it up and calmed Tallulah down, she literally woke up to insanity happening at the window and was very rightly upset, and wet.

It was finally over. I went to accelerate out and the car felt a bit weird. I pulled off at the roundabout and the pedal just wasn't going down and I was driving a nice 8mph with cars behind. Nooo the car wash has broken my car I thought. I pulled over and realised my car mat had got wedged up behind the pedal in my panic of open windows and giant blue brushes.

I am an actual nightmare.

Walkies on the Beach

Yesterday (Sunday) was a very fine day in terms of the weather, bright, sunny and warm. After lunch we decided to go for a walk on the beach at Old Hunstanton, Tallulah's first trip to meet the Sea, apart from when she visited a few times in my tummy! I love going to the seaside, and walking along the beach and paying homage to the sea, it makes me feel complete and whole.

I had the wrong footwear on as I had expected the sand to be quite firm that day for some odd reason, but it wasn't, so it concluded in soggy swimmy sea water sock feet which was okay as i sort of got used to it after a bit! Tallulah was very alert and intrigued by all the sights and sounds, she was looking around and taking it all in, I think the salty wind made her eyes water a bit, which she didn't seem to like much!

The sea was absolutely stunning that day, calm and shimmery. We all felt like we were in a movie or something. Max and I both agreed we could of sat on a chair on the shore all day just staring at the sea. Our soggy feet had other ideas though so we walked a bit more and headed back to the sand dunes where we had a sit down, it didn't last too long as Tallulah was trying to eat fistfuls of sand.

On the way home I felt like we all had some really good quality time. This baby malarky is totally awesome, but it has been hard at times adjusting to not always being able to be together when we want,like we used to, now for example, one of us is usually holding/playing with Tallulah or she is asleep in the middle of the bed or something. Tallulah is the most incredible gift into our lives that we could of ever asked for, but one day becoming 3 can be quite a shock to the system, no matter how prepared you think you are!

Anyway, back to quality time. Yes, we had such a laugh all day, and the journey in the car was good fun. I think we talked about the New Moon film and the actors for a bit, as we like to anaylze things, which is not a good thing because most often than not, as soon as we leave from visiting a friend/family's house we go "was I okay? did I do anything to offend anyone?" and go through our behaviour to make sure we did alright.

When we got back, we got chips from the chip shop, fried up some eggs from Max's Mum's chickens, warmed up some baked beans, and ate some nice dinner! Then we pulled out the sofa bed, got the quilt, glass of red wine, New Moon DVD, warmed up a treacle tart and double cream and the three of us got cosy.

Naughty Rabbitss

I think I might have the most naughtiest bunnies in the whole world. Mindy (see above) and her new boyfriend Denzel are slowly wreaking havoc in our garden.

They have got a groovy humdinger of a hutch my Dad built which they live in, but they also have free reign of the garden. Basically as soon as I get up I go and let them out. They love frolicking about the garden and getting up to mischief, and I mean mischief...Together they have dug a few holes, which I was okay with, Max just filled them up again.

I was looking out of Tallulah's bedroom window last week, and who did I see partying on down in the neighbour's garden? Why yes...Mindy and Denzel. Denzel actually made eye contact with me would you believe it. I thought that it was this minor hole that they kept re-digging up, but oh no. On closer inspection and going round the neighbours house to get them, I saw they had actually dug a tunnel going into the middle of her garden. A TUNNEL. A proper bonafied 1.5m tunnel. I was horrified and extremely apologetic to the neighbour who was very nice in fact. I filled up the hole on my side with some bits and bobs like old plant pots until I could do it properly. Next day....where are those bunnies? They had dug all the pots out and gone to play next door again!

They have also eaten every flower/plant nice pretty thing in the garden and dug up all the flowerbeds. Also in their tunnel making are piles of soil on the grass which is killing it.

I love them having their freedom as I hate to see an animal caged, but my garden is pretty trashed. So......My Dad has constructed a rather large run so I can contain them a bit in the garden. It is really cool actually, so excited when he put it together and I put the bunnies in all filled with enthusiasm.

10 minutes later, Denzel has jumped over the top. This thing is twice the height of him and more. Back to the drawing board. A few more holes dug and flowers eaten later my dad comes back with some bendy green trellisy flower boarder thing which he slots in the top to make it a bit higher. Yay i thought, he came round and did it today in the wind and the rain. It seems to have done the trick, Denzel has attempted to scale it but not succeeded yet, he is one determined guy. So Tallulah and I were watching them in it from the patio doors, and what do i see? Oh...Denzel destroying the grass digging ferociously trying to dig his way underneath. A massive clump of grass had been uprooted by the time i intervened 5 seconds later. I am in despair, I put the run round the cage for the time being on the patio which limits their space, but until I think of something else...it wil have to do. Eeek! Rabbit Despair.....!!!!

New Moon & Sade

First off....The New Moon dvd slid through the letterbox this morning, exciting stuff! I am such a cheesemonger but i asbolutely LOVE the twilight sage! I am not on team Edward or team Jacob, I will take both please!

Have been watching the 'extras' disc on and of

f throughout the day as well as listening to the new Sade album - Soldier of Love, i am really enjoying it. There is a beautiful song called 'Baby Father' and the lyrics are stunning, Max and I were playing it last night and it made us feel very emotional as it felt like she was singing about us! Here are the lyrics -

We were waiting for the bus,

No-one much around but us

Then I see this young boy cut a look at me,

I'm stunned, in a daze

He had the whole street set ablaze

It's only love they say, Makes you feel this way

She liked his eyes, she wanted more

The baby gonna have your smile for sure

He saw a lovely girl, smelling sweet and soapy like fresh air

She saw him looking acted like she didn't care

That's how we knew

And so love grew a flower

A flower that is you

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Even to the angels it may sound like a lie

For you child, he has the troops and extra backup standing by, For you child, for you he's the best he can be

For you child, for you he's the best he can be

Oh child don't you know

Your daddy love come with a life time guarantee

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Your daddy knows you're a flame

Yeah daddy love you child

Daddy love you yeah

It's only you he'll say

Made the young boy hungry for the man he is today

It's only love, love, love, love

Can make you feel this way

Your daddy knows you're a flame

I am listening again to it now :-) Here is a link to listen to the song http://www.last.fm/music/Sade/_/Babyfather

Max came home last night and met me at his brother Harry's house whom i was having dinner with, and Maxs lovely Mum Barbara. He looked all lovely and hunky and I just feel so in love with him. He has a gig tonight, a late one so he will be home about 3am, Tallulah and I will be waiting, taking up the whole bed hehe!

My 1st Mothering Sunday!

A quick post before bed! I am struggling a bit with Tallulah & bed times so going to quickly post before getting some much needed sleep before she wakes me up...that subject is for another day though.....!

I had a thoroughly splendid 'Happy 1st Mothers Day' and enjoyed it very much! The night before I became a baking maniac and was baking cupcakes until about 11.30pm, I have these mad moments where I get a bit carried away. Lovely Max was taking care of Tallulah and he didn't even gasp in horror at the utter carnage in the kitchen haha, there is literally pink icing, butter and icing sugar on most of the things on display in the kitchen....

I made rose cupcakes (with rosewater) and chocolate orange cupcakes with orange cream icing!

Usually a lot of things I make have some sort of disaster during the making which involves a bit of upset and a bit of fixing. This time I burnt the dark chocolate and it went all weird and gloopy, but i carried on regardless and the end result tasted pretty darn good.

On Mothers Day Max's parents came round for coffee and cakes in the morning. Barbara makes the most heavenly carrot cake I have ever tasted, to prove this i will tell you that I ate a quarter of it without hesitation for breakfast this morning. We had a lovely time together and Tallulah was in a happy mood which was a bonus! My Dad also popped in to screw together a rabbit run for our bunnies in the garden! This was my mothers day present from him :-)

We had to dash off to to my Aunties for Mother's Day lunch at 1pm which is about 50 mins away in the car, my grandparents, cousinss, brothers etc were all there. We Had a lovely shepherds pie followed by about a thousand puddings, there was a small upset where my Aunties' chunky black labrador ate 6 cupcakes off the cake stand in the larder that my cousin Cate had made....ohhhh Hector!

After this some of the family went off to walk the dog whose tummy was full of cakes, and we watched some larkrise to candleford with my grandma, cousin and brothers. Then Max drove us home where we got cosy!

Tallulah & Max gave me a beautiful silver locket and chain which I absolutely adore, and felt very romantic. There was a love note inside which he had written saying 'Me and Hooly (Tallulah) love you more than words can say'. I feel very lucky and overwhelmed with emotion to have recieved such a beautiful gift from such a beautiful man and daughter.

Mother's day has taken on another dimension of meaning to me and Max this year, as we are really starting to know first hand just what it means to be a parent, I love my Mum so much that it is almost too intense to feel sometimes, in her card i wrote ' you have given me two things, one is roots, the other wings..' which completely sums it all up. Max loves his Mum just as intensely too and we both love each others parents a lot, so it is all just a one big bundle of love really!

Mum's present did luckily arrive in time, and i left a little display on her kitchen table when she was out:-) hehe! She also gave me some gifts which were very unexpected and awesome, she knows me better than I do sometimes! A Primrose Hill bakery cookbook and LuLu perfume, which my Mum used to wear when I was little, it instills a homely comforting, nostalgic memory of that time in my being and the way my Mother smelled, and now I get to wear it too!

Agggh I am a bit anxious my Mum's Mothers Day pressie isn't going to arrive on time! Positive visualisations of it arriving tomorrow morning..... :-)

Had a relaxingly lovely day today. This morning was at Mum's house for the Baby Reflex class part 2, which was excellent! We were learning about the digestive still and the spinal area! We also learnt the brazillian toe technique which is a secret reflexology energiser move! I didn't know it already so I am glad my Mum taught me as now I can do it on my clients too as well as Tallulah!

After a pain au chocolate and coffee I dashed to Willingham to pick up a baby bargain item off gumtree! Popped to my friend Claire's who lives in the village and we ate more pastries and had good chats! She also gave me a buttons bracelet she had just made which is gorgeous!

Part of the way home you have to drive down quite a narrow, bumpy, windy road next to the river which I can't stand! I get a bit panicky which results in me driving quite slowly and probably annoying other drivers!

My car seat broke today as well, the harness is completely jammed and I had to kind of squeeze, tip and pull Tallulah out of it! Mamas and Papas have been quite good though and sending me a new one on tues. The new one is a lot more boring than the one I already have which is purple with multi coloured flowers all over it, so i feel a bit disappointed and would rather they would try and fix it. I don't want to waste products and if they throw it away when it gets sent back, well that would be a complete waste, I think this 'dumping' society that we exist in is disgraceful!

Anywayyyys, went back to my Mum's house and chilled out with her and Alister. We watched 'father of the bride 2' while Luly had a little nap, it was nice to watch some old school cheese! Ate about 50 hobnobs and then chips from the chipshop....treeeeeeat! Tallulah has been so happy today and playful, she makes me giggle! We had a lovely bath together this evening and she is asleep in our bed at the moment, I am watching some Mighty Boosh episodes and snuggling in with her.

Max is on his way home, can't wait to see him and give him a kissy kiss kiss! Going to do some cupcake baking tomorrow...yum yum! Might try some 'rose petal' cupcakes :-) keep you posted!

- Dra i love you so much .

Radio 1, Sewing & Vaccination Dilemmas.

Been feeling the urge to spend today on books! I bought a book on amazon about vaccinations called The Truth About Vaccines: Making the Right Decision for Your Child by Richard Halvorsen. I have held off Tallulah having them for the time being while I decide what to do, when i get in to reading the research there are naturally strong arguments for both sides but currently it is way leaning over to not having the vaccines! Hmmm the book looks quite good so I will have a read and let you know what I

think! For me, this is probably one of the hardest decisions to make as a parent so far.

I have also been wanting to purchase these two books as I feel a creative urge coming on!

This book a friend recommended to me is called Baby Stuff which is a Japanese Aranzi book. It has lovely things like nappy bags, nappies, bibs, toys etc to sew and make! I really like the idea of making lovely things for Tallulah. The only prob is time, i already feel stretched but think I could do some stuff when she is asleep to help me relax and chill!

This one has allsorts of sweety little dresses and shoes and bits and bobs to make in! My mum has a sewing machine so I might ask her if she would let me borrow it and learn how to use it!

Ahhh tonight Tallulah and I had dinner at my Dad's house with my 2 brothers and Lara, driving I tuned in to hear Alex Metric doing his show on Radio 1 (Max plays bass in his band). When I parked up at home I twittered to him that we were listening in the car and he gave Max, Tallulah and I a big shout out and told everyone that Max was his bass player! So chuffed to be made to feel a bit spesh'!

Good Day!

Is it tuesday today? Yes!

Max and I finished watching Battlestar Gallactica last night...OH MY..that series is the most incredible drama/sci-fi to grace our televisions, thats my opinion of course but i think its trueeeee! Wow I have been thinking about the ending all day and even dreamt about it! It is so brilliantly done and the spiritual messages to us all in it are just awesome! Such an adventure and journey watching it!

Max got a new gig today which is great news! A new band with a bit of 'clout' behind them from the record label apparantly, and straightaway 3 weeks of rehearsals which is good news and he is happy which is the most important thing of all! At first it was a bit scary worrying about how to manage with his job being quite unpredictable but we have learnt to be positive and trust that the universe is looking after us and we have been always okay, sometimes getting through on the skin of our teeth but nothing majorly terrible! Things seem to be getting better and better at the moment though! I am so proud of him and his attitude to work, he is like a bee, he works and focuses and makes stuff happen. He also happens to be awesome on the bass hehe! I haven't been to a gig for about a year due to the baby and i can't wait until I get to see him play again, I always forget how much I fancy him when he is on stage and untouchable! Last proper gig I was pregnant and didn't know yet, Groove Armada were headling Hogomany in Edinburgh and did the New Years countdown with all the fireworks and we were all on stage together, good times, but cold times! I am loving all the cosy baby snuggling that i am doing now instead! I was not always cut out for the darker side of the gigging/partying stuff!

I can hear Luly starting to snuffle and wake up so I must go to her! Thought I would put up a little pic of Max since I have talked about him most of this post!


love you max!

Baby-Led Weaning

As you know, Miss Tallulah is 5 months and about a week old, and for the past 3 weeks she has been getting increasingly more interested in what I am eating, to the point where having on my lap at mealtimes is getting tricky! She will reach forward and grab food on my plate and put it to her mouth and I end up wrestling bits off her and worrying she will touch something too hot! She is sitting up on her own for about half a minute and loves being in the high chair too, so Max and I felt that why not let her have a bit of her own food to taste!

I absolutely ADORE breastfeeding her and am not ready at all to sto yet, so the food thing is more for fun for the time being! We have been debating, do we mush or do baby-led! Everything about baby-led makes sense and seems to click in my head, so that is the direction we are heading. I worry a lot about doing the wrong thing by Tallulah so I have told myself in my head that I am not going to get too obsessed about the whole thing and I could do a mixture, if she has a spoon and mushy sometimes that is okay tooo!!

So...tonight we gave Tallulah some steamed brocolli florets and some carrot batons! To my shock and surprise she was straight in, picking them up and putting them to her mouth and chewing! I wasn't expecting her to swallow anything but a few bits most definitely went down! I think Max was a little concerned about her choking but we kept a careful eye and she was fine!

Dra

I am loving my best friend Dra's Cake Making Adventure post!

http://frozenlittlepeas.blogspot.com/

Last few days!

I am not always sure what day it is at the moment as baby world is its own world! But I do know when it gets to monday as that is the olive tree baby group! It was very sweet today and I was very pleased as there was homemade lemon cake, yum yum! It had a very nice atmosphere in the little baby room and everyone was having a good time chatting! Sometimes baby groups can be a bit of a weird vibe due to the mixture of characters! I got invited out for lunch after by two really lovely mummies and their babies, i was so pleased to get an invite! We went to The Cutter by the river and I devoured a veggie burger and chips. Trying to be good with money at the moment but sometimes treats are in order!

Tallulah is starting to enjoy other babies company and today was rolling on her side and touching the baby laying next to her, how very sweet!

Her personality is just blossoming every day, and this sweet little chattering is starting to come from her mouth! It is most desperately the wonderous thing to Max and I!

We have had a few nights lately of freqeunt wakings, and me ending up feeling like the boob machine! Maybe she is having a bit of a growth spurt eeek, I am already squeezing on tight fitting 9-12 month clothes and she is only just over 5 months hehe! I weighed her last week and she is a good 17lb! My lovely chubberly pook!

Tallulah's middle name is Bluebell, and I have spied these little leather baby shoes with bluebells on the front on ebay! Must bid on! 6 days to wait seems like forever though! I am a bit impatient! Fingers crossed we win.......:-)

Baby Reflexology

Today Tallulah and I went to a Baby Reflexology class taught by my own yummy mummy Suzanne. My Mum is a Doula, Hypnobirthing Practitioner, Reflexologist and a long list of other magical things. With her wealth of knowledge, wisdom and nurturing love, I have had/am having the most blessed pregnancy to motherhood experience.

During pregnancy she gave me regular reflexology treatments, nutritional vitamins and shakes, hypnobirth classes, unconditional love and endless advice on bringing a baby to this world in a holistic, spiritual and honouring way. She empowered me to be a goddess and to not be afraid to achieve the birth i desired for me and my baby!

Here is us when I was about 36ish weeks pregnant :-)
And here is her website http://www.divinelynurtured.co.uk

The reflexology class was good fun! Arran came with baby Sophie and Trudy too. Arran and I learnt hypnobirthing together so it was really lovely to share the class back in the same place we learnt hypno with our bumps! Today we focused on the digestive reflexs on the babies foot, and practised on little rubber baby sized feet :-) Tallulah and Sophie were very cute and rolled around chomping everything they could!

After that finished I had some lunch with Mum, mmm...nice pitta bread wraps with chilli sauce! Tallulah was a bit sleepy so i fed her on the sofa, and we both ended up napping for 2 hours! Such bliss! I rarely get to do that now as there are so many little jobs to do around the house! After tea we came home, had a bath together and now Tallulah is sleeping and I am shortly joining her! She is definitely finding going to sleep a lot easier now and doesn't fight it as much!

wooden teething ring

Hi! I wanted to share with you a groovy little thing I have got to help Tallulah with her chomping/teething needs! I found it on etsy.com and it is a natural birch wood teething ring necklace which you wear, so your baby can chomp away when they are with you, and it never falls on the floor! They can also engrave your babies name on it too which i think looks really sweet, and also makes it even more special as Tallulah can keep it forever and even wear it as a necklace herself when she grows up!

Dra's Visit!

I began writing a post last night, but it all got a bit sguiggly when attempted to add a photo, and I got a bit frustrated and left it for today!

I had a wonderful day yesterday with my gorgeous besty friend Dra who came back to visit us and her family for a few days. Tallulah and I met Dra in Ely after Baby Group, which was actually the best week I have had there so far! Had a really nice time chatting with a small group of Mummies and it wasn't weird and awkward like it can sometimes be! A friend of mine once said making friends at baby groups is a bit like dating, do you play it cool and hard to get or just go for it and invite them to coffee!

Anyway, back to Dra! Max met us for lunch and we lunched in the Almonry tea rooms with brie and mushroom quiche and coffee, catching up on the gossip and funny things we have been up to! Max went off back home and Dra and I had a look in the shops which we love to do, and got the giggles in wilkinsons buying all manner of cake making items. I bought a well needed vegetable steamer too as I am thinking of letting Luly try some veg with us when we have our dinner, she is already grabbing food off my plate and trying to put it in her mouth!

Dra helped me accomplish the weekly food shop after, which was beyond helpful! I ususally go 'online' but they had no slots left for delivery this week. I had Luly in the sling and she enjoyed watching all the Ely nutters do their shopping! We bought ingredients to make a lovely veggie tagliatele with ice cream for pud!

Back at home we really enjoyed each others company hanging out, playing with Tallulah and cooking together! Max gave Tallulah a bath so we could begin watching Twilight which Dra hadn't yet seen. I love that film for all its cheesiness!
We reminicsed about when Tallulah was born and looked at a few photos, and some of the songs on my birth playlist. Luly was starting to get tired after her bath so we had one last cup of tea and giggles then Max took Dra home...booo! The time always goes so fast, and i didn't want it to end!

Max got in a panic on the way home because he hadn't paid his congestion charge, and it had gone midnight, attempted some manifestation to not get a fine and they let him off! Hurrah! With Luly sleeping peacefully we watched Alan Partridge in bed! Genius!

I took a photo of Tallulah on the way to baby group yesterday morning





I was just thinking how precious friendship is, and sacred. Having close life long friends to share your ups and downs is truly special. It means to much to me to able to share Tallulah and the adventure of growing and getting her here, and now watching her grow into a beautiful little girl. I feel very blessed to have such people around me.
