... it might be because it's the rentrée and everyone is too busy taking work seriously to do fun and exciting things.
... it might be because taking a toddler to the park is often the highlight of our weekend
... it might be because we've moved to the suburbs and are in the process of becoming old and boring
But there's also a very exciting reason why evenings spent reading and watching TV, local walks and afternoon naps have taken precedence over novel and bloggable experiences:
We are expecting our second baby!
He or she is due in March, so having spent the summer feeling sick and exhausted, I'm finding it a bit easier to enjoy life now (at least up until about 9pm, when I fall asleep on the sofa). So far, I think the best thing about this being the second time around is looking forward to everything more: we know what to expect and, having survived the baby experience once, we're more confident that it will be OK this time around as well.
But if anyone has any tips for surviving sleepless nights with a newborn followed by manic days with a toddler, I'm all ears!
