Managed to get the baby to bed at a reasonable time...get ready to settle down on the sofa... immediately rampaged by the cat who is thrilled about the absence of said baby because, that's right, 10 week olds are extremely terrifying

A lovely start to my first birthday as a mum. Eloise gave me some beautiful presents: She slept for over five hours in one go last night 馃槾 She did an explosive poo just in time for daddy to be able to change her before he set off for work 馃ぃ Thank you little darling 鉂わ笍

Lots happening in the S&T policy space right now but I'm afraid I'm (for the most part) ignoring it all and having too much fun climbing hills and eating cake in bonny Scotland 馃槂馃槂 with @kieran_housley

Finally wearing my baby on board badge after a London-based friend had to order one for me because @TfL don't let you order to an address outside London. I'm confident that plenty of pregnant women live outside but work in London so it would be great if @Tfl would change this!

So let's just say the last week has been a bit insane. A week ago, we moved house, after what has been quite a stressful journey. A week later, today... We found out... WE'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL! Arriving August 2023 馃挀馃挀 @kieran_housley

If we pack up the flat the solicitors will get on with their jobs and sort out an exchange date, right? RIGHT?
