If you have a kid or two you will know that packing a bag to take down with you to the beach is quite a task because it feels like you need anything and everything just in case someone is thirsty, hungry, bored, sleepy, feeling arty…well you get the picture.

I was in the Eastern Cape a little while back where Shane’s mom has a cottage that is literally like 20 steps from Riet River and 50 meters away from one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches I have ever been on. I love it when we go stay there because you literally get to have the whole place to yourself, which is amazing. On this holiday I had to pack lots of the bags that I mentioned above, so on one of the afternoons I decided to pack one for myself too full of things that I like and reckoned I might need whilst lazing on the beach.

Wowzers ok so 3 weeks ago yesterday I was writing about how excited I was to meet our baby girl and now she is 3 weeks and 1 day old. It’s nuts how fast time goes and how quickly things happen.

I’m going to start at the beginning, I did land up having a cry the night before at home (as anticipated) when Shane and I went to bed, but after that I felt calm and at ease and I actually landed up having one of the best nights sleeps in ages. In the morning we had to be at the hospital at 11:30, which was a bit torturous because we were ready to go by 8 and then we had to wait around and pretty much have the same conversation over and over again for the next couple of hours about how we can’t believe the time has come, is it time yet to take the bags down to the car etc etc. But eventually we left for the hospital and soon enough they were getting me ready to go into theatre.
