Merry Christmas

The cookies are out, the kids are in bed and the tree is waiting in anticipation of Santa's arrival. 

What a difference a year makes. This time last year I was in the paediatric ward with Charlotte, wondering what was going to happen to my beautiful 4 month old. 

This year it is such a great feeling to know that both my children are under the same roof with both their parents, and that they are going to wake up together on Christmas Day. 

So from my family to yours, we wish you a happy and safe Christmas and New Year. 

Most magical time of the year...

So this time of year is always meant to be magical right, I am guessing is because of Christmas and the whole Santa thing. For me the last few Christmas they haven't be all that magical, and if you haven't read my blog before I will fill you in quickly. 

In 2011 M cheated on me and in 2012 Charlotte ended up in hospital on Christmas Eve which started a whole bunch of tests. I am hoping this Christmas, things are a lot better. 

Things with M have been good. We have been talking a lot of things through, although this time year is still a sore spot and I know this because I turned into a blubbering mess the other day, but I feel that this affair has somehow brought us closer together (I know so clichéd). I guess the only way from here is up...right?

Charlotte also seems to be getting into a good rhythm with her medication, although she has been having a couple of flare ups with gluten, but we are seeing the paediatrician on Friday. 

We also had Santa photos today, although Charlotte screamed to high heaven and didn't want to go near him, Lachlan happily sat on his knee and told him what he wanted for Christmas. 

I am so hoping to make some good memories, but I am guess the Santa photo can happen next year.
