December has been a wonderful month, Rosalie and I have done lots of fun crafts and activities as well as festive baking. We have also celebrated Rosalie’s third birthday, which was a relaxed day of present opening, playing with toys and eating cake. And of course we’ve had the big day itself which was amazing this year as Rosalie really understood what was happening, and it was just perfect hearing her find her stocking on Christmas morning then drag it down to our bedroom and open it sat on our bed – a perfect family Christmas morning.
With less than a month until my due date, this could be the last family portrait of us as a family of three! Exciting, and a little bit scary wondering how our family dynamic will change and how Rosalie will cope with having a little sister.
