I'M BAAACCCCCCCCCKKK!

Arrrggggg! I LET MYSELF SLIP ON BLOGGING! It's so hard to keep up with what is going on when your so sicky :( So much has happened in our family since.

Ethan finally grasped the concept of potty training...whooohoooo! I must say though, i'm now having the struggle of getting him to actually go to the loo before he is busting! I have to nag him to go to the loo! At least he does go.. most of the time! ;)
 

Ethan is now at school too - he started in May and absolutely loves it! He goes to Heolgerrig school 1pm till 3.15pm. He is really thriving. His speech has been really slow, yet since he's started being schooled, he's really come along. We have referred him to a Speech and Language therapist to help things along. Ethy will stay part time for a little while, probably till he's 5 years old. It's great to see him progress!
 

Jared's uni course is going so well. It's been really hard with the amount of hours he has had to put into study, but he has done so well. One year is down, just another to go before he can start working as a qualified social worker.
 

My pregnancy progressed lovely, although i definitely found it tough! I had to walk Ethan to school over a hill and down - a full 1.8 miles! It kept me fit thats for sure. I gave birth to a beautiful baby.....GIRL on the 24th July, going a week overdue. She was a lovely 8lbs and half an ounce. It was such a great day, i was able to go home 6 hours after delivery. All of Jared's family came to visit that evening, including Philly as she was down visiting the family. My mum was with us too, she'd come to be with me through the labour. We named her Lily Evans - it took ages to come to that decision! So we have gone from a 3 to a 4!
 
On the 1st August, eight days after Lily was born, Philippa, my sister in law, came to Wales to visit us all. She had just come back from Festinord, a Swedish convention. She stopped off at her parents house to drop off her stuff, then started to travel to our house to come and see us a Lily. It breaks my heart to say it, but she never made it. On the journey to us, 3 minutes from our house, she was involved in a car crash, killing her instantly. My beautiful sister and friend.  I am just so grateful to know where she is and that i will see her again.
 
So that's an update from this year, i am going to keep up with as many days as possible, even if it just leans writing a few lines for a day!
