Oh, for goodness sake. Four weeks can't just have vanished, can they?
I'm back at work. This was day 6, and day 2 with the full-time. I did a few hours a day last week, which was enough to flatten me by Friday - I can't imagine what I'll be like by this weekend. I miss Oisín enormously, but I'm also really happy to be back. Hello, inner conflict.
Same Oisín seems to be taking to the crèche extremely well. He's already noticeably more alert, adventurous and talkative. He can now roll over from front to back (in one direction), and reach for things while on his front. Last night he may have babbled (in the child-language-acquisition sense), but he was yelling at the time so we're not sure.
The midwinter festivities were great fun and utterly exhausting. We partied hard (well ... for some definition thereof, allowing for the baby thing) until the 28th, and then hibernated. Didn't even do anything special on New Year's Eve. It was lovely.
