Mum arrived last night and today was a flurry of activity around here. While she took Quinn & Darby out for the morning I went through all of the kids clothes, past present and future, ranging in sizes from 00000 (I got rid of those – no newborn of mine will ever be a size…

If this baby arrives before 41 weeks it’ll be a miracle. I’m here today to share some photos of me around the same stage with…
