Had a couple of weeks seeing Sam a lot and it has been great. He ended up laughing at his MMR jabs???? and has been generally giggly and smiley the whole time. He can kind of say 'muma' and 'dada' and the beginning of 'milk', just the mmmmmmmmm bit which at the moment just sounds a bit like someone with a stammer.
I still can't believe that he is only 13months. Inevitably thoughts have turned to when we should try for number 2. Quite a few of our friends are already pregnant with their second kids - there's a 'get it out of the way' mentality for some people (us included I think). That sounds terrible but we are just not the type of couple who revelled in those first six months. We both found them unbelievably tough going. The thought of going through it again is pretty daunting and with us both so flat out at work.....
It's got to be done. I 100% don't want Sam to be an only child. The timing just needs to be right. Jo is enjoying being back at work, there's a huge recession looming, we are not sure what our jobs will really look like next year. I think we will wait until new year then go for it. In the meantime we can forget about it and enjoy our amazing little boy....
