So today is my ninth wedding anniversary.
PLUS - my boy's first day in reception class at school ("How was your day?" "Lovely", "What did you do?" "Everything", "Who's in your class?" "Everyone" )
PLUS - the final hospital check up for the missus and the soon-to-be new baby (still all systems go for Monday! )
PLUS - I had my redundancy statement (substantial )
PLUS - today I've had two different job offers come in to remain within the company (decisions, decisions )

So I've just been told that the factory where I work is being closed by the parent company.
Not the best news I could have received with the new baby less than three weeks away.
So anyway back from holiday (very nice, thank you for asking) and back to work.
Have come to the sudden realisation that the new arrival is now only four weeks away and have started to get a bit twitchy about it.
So it's the last day of work before the holiday tomorrow.

So everything was set up for the delivery on Monday 11th but baby had other ideas.
Labour started in the early hours of Saturday 9th followed by a panic to arrange a baby sitter for the other two and a mad dash to the maternity unit.
Our new little girl was delivered by c-section (as expected) at 09.42 and weighed 7lb 11oz (in old money).
We have named her Seren May Boudicca.
Mother and baby are both beautiful and after two weeks leave I have returned to work for a bit of a rest.
