10 years and four days later

Today (2nd February) is Louis' Birthday.
Today is another one of my special days!

We weren't expecting Louis in our lives - but he was a very lovely surprise!

Birthday 08

When I found out I was pregnant with Louis, I have to say I was a little freaked. I wasn't sure if I could cope with another labour (Julian's birth was very fast and a little painful).
But, I read lots of literature, talked to my friend who is a midwife and decided to prepare myself for a water birth. Louis' birth was slower and more gentle - it was actually a wonderful experience. He was a big baby - 10lbs (4.5kg) but he was my easiest birth.
I figured (yes, I was deluded) that since he came out in such a calm manner that he would be by nature, a calm boy. Absolutely and Definately not.
He is loud, determined, defiant (in the nicest possible way) and prone to extremes. He's either very cross or very happy. When he hugs you he almost squeezes the life out of you. He likes guns and cars and nail polish and dressing up as a fairy. He's my little whirlwind and my lovely little boy. Happy Birthday Louis.

On a different note, this week has been very busy for me and I haven't been doing much crafting, but hopefully now that I have the two birthdays out of the way, I can concentrate on making some things again. And hopefully I can post about them too. I've missed crafting!

Cheers

Lovely birthday posts it must be a hectic time in your house. I'm sure when Louis reads it in about 10 years time he will have a loving warm smile on his face.
