I can’t remember exactly when I last posted, but it’s been a while. It would have been during the latter weeks of my pregnancy. Well – I’m no longer pregnant!! I ‘ran’ up to 39 weeks and 3 days and Ned was born 4 days later – just 25 minutes before his due date. I’ll come back to that in another post!!
