BOO! Guess who!

Hello my lovelies! Look who's back from the dead ;o)

I'm sorry for the huge blogging break, life got in the way but one main excuse for the break was ...


 Yes I'd like to introduce you to Poppy!  The new addition to the Fontaine home :o)  She was born 2nd January 2013 two weeks early.  I had to be induced due to a  rare (ish) condition i developed in pregnancy called obstetric cholestasis which they found out about at 37 weeks and promptly had me induced at 38 weeks.  Once they got the drip in and broke my waters labour went pretty damn quickly as she was out in 75 minutes, arriving at 9:45pm!  So if any of you are fans of 'One Born Every Minute' then that Wednesday when you were watching the start of the new series, I was in pushing action and hubby was getting the live show!

 
So life has been pretty busy with a manic 2 and a half year old and a newborn to contend with!  I will of course tell you more when I get some more time to give you a full up date of my missing months.  But till then will leave you with these couple of pictures of Poppy which we had done by the bounty lady who launches herself at you on the labour ward ready to cash in on the new parent daze.  As Poppy wasn't nearly as "squashed" looking as Finley was after birth, and as the pictures were pretty cute, I succumbed to buying them.  But hey after remembering how painful labour was it will be the last time the bounty lady gets hold of my cash ;o)
 
 
Well I have now a whole load of catching up to do on all your lives, I hope you are all well.  Its going to take a few weeks  days to get round you all as its a bit of a time juggling act at the moment but hopefully you will forgive me.
 
Big Love!
