Jodi News
3 weeks to Isabelle Sophie
| Craig here – well my plans to write in the fotola more regularly don’t seem to have played out. Anyway no point in dwelling on what is not done. The legacy of the babymoon has been a good one. Two weeks ago we finally moved into our new home in St Albans (with some much needed help from Gary and Jo – two great Australians I had only met the weekend before) – couldn’t have done it without them. It is nice to think back to Vienna when the decision was made – literally printing out a map of the UK and picking a place to live (a very un-Craig like approach to decision making – think Jodi-ism may be rubbing off on me). Suffice to say the decision was a great one. Something about not having a family of 6 below, a group of students above and a militant family to the side who think they actually do own your garden has improved our home life a great deal. We have had the normal teething problems (broken dishwasher and flood (okay it was more of a drip!)). Isabelles room will also be ready shortly and will be a lovely pale yellow with bright colourful birds on the ceiling (another babymoon legacy purchase). As for the great naming debate we have finally completed that. I would love to tell you dear child that your middle name of Sophie came to me after drinking divine elixir at the Temple of Hera and was harked forth by singing cherubs – however the truth is the elixir was about 5 pints of Guinness in a pub in Angel and the cherubs were your very sober mother (who did pick the name because it meant wisdom!) and a bunch of friends who then made me sign my consent to Isabelle Sophie. The name is a lovely one and I hope you will like it to. Anyway must get back to work, so please baby try not to come for at least another three days (so I can paint your room and have at least one more hypnobirthing ante natal class (apparently this will make you a calm child – we will see)). See you soon. |
