How can I be 24 weeks already? I mean seriously! It feel like just yesterday I was staring at the little stick with those two lines, jumping up and down (on the inside) as my Mum was staying and I wanted to tell Steve first. And now here we are well into the second half. Crazy to think only 17 weeks (TOPS) till we get to meet this little one and our lives are changed for the second time.

Pushing Pause
A few weeks ago I decided to 'push pause' for just a little while.. I can see you thinking, this is life Lydia, you can't just go pushing pause. And I DO know that.
