I am honestly completely not pregnant

Can you tell we've been watching a lot of Charlie & Lola over half-term? Rosie loves Lola.

Well, woke up this morning absolutely certain that I don't have a baby in my tummy. Two more tests were undeniably negative. So that settles that. Mostly feeling relieved but also a little sad as I was already thinking of names (Arthur or Maud), bedding (the lovely new stuff at Gap) and the joy of having a tiny baby fall asleep on my chest like a warm little pudding. Oh well, that's not to say that it will never happen, just not in the next nine months which is really for the best. Rosie is still a baby herself even though she's more of a knee-high whirlwind rather than a warm pudding at this stage. I have my hands full.

Met up with Philippa for coffee this morning. We usually meet while Tobes is at school but it's half-term so I had both children with me. I knew it was time to leave when Tobes almost broke the whole bar off the wall by swinging on it while people were trying to drink their coffee. Everyone had to grab their cups or they would've fallen off. While this was happening Rosie tried to throw herself down the stairs. I ended up shouting and sprinting across the coffee shop, pushing a barista out of the way in order to grab Rosie before she tumbled headfirst down to the basement. As I say, I certainly have my hands full.
