  • Okay, go on the swings.

  • She's wearing gloves and then we're going to take the gloves off till we get home.

  • Then we'll wash our hands on.

  • I guess that's okay.

  • So reasonably successful trip.

  • I think now I feel guilty that Nancy's know with us, obviously, because she's got self isolate, it's difficult on.

  • Obviously, we go way weeks, successful trip to the park.

  • What do we do now?

  • Yeah, my bum.

  • Yeah, so one of the things we've been thinking about a lot now that Martha is not going to nursery is structure of her day is kind of well out of kilter.

  • She's not really learning any things.

  • We're trying to give her activity.

  • So she's doing numbers letters now.

  • Way would love to hear suggestions and know what other parents are doing.

  • To be honest, Oh, baby, baby, seven weeks pregnant.

  • It's quite it in.

  • No.

  • So the last time I went out was to a midwife appointment and then to a scan at the hospital.

  • That was on Wednesday, but the midwife was amazing.

  • Made it very normal, really professional, very reassuring.

  • Something's fine heartbeat in the baby length, but then also asked how I was coping with news about current virus on dhe.

  • The midwife did say they were having consolations, especially people who had Children already or had just had their babies.

  • Should completely understand.

  • You gotta make your own decisions about it, but yeah, that was really useful.

  • I'm glad we went.

  • The next time I go out will probably be my next appointment, which is beginning of April.

  • Come on.

  • I don't know.

  • Like a bond villain, Martha is super excited about being a big sister.

  • And that is really kept me, like, buoyant and really excited about the baby.

  • Because ultimately, we might not know what's happening with Corona virus how long we're gonna be home.

  • But baby is definitely coming in about three weeks.

  • Um, um yeah, I guess we just I figured that morning.

  • Happy Mother's Day.

  • Indeterminate amount to go.

  • I'm naked.

  • Yeah, Mind you, we did a lot.

  • So we went to the park dancing baking publishers.

  • We have watched a few films.

  • I think that's okay.

  • Day four of isolation on.

  • I think we're on the fifth watching of frozen, too.

  • Good job is brilliant.

  • We did a big family video.

  • Cool catch up Don't lights, Which is probably why we're, say, knock it.

  • I feel a bit funny about the park now, seeing the pictures of everyone over the weekend going out not doing what the government is saying, I don't want to be part of the problem at all.

  • So I think maybe I won't go to the park.

  • Yeah, I didn't even know that was probably the last time that I go to the park for a while doing the other thing about the weekend having spoken to family is that I'm not sure I realized they're not gonna get to meet the baby.

  • We're just not talking about it because it's must talk about.

  • It's quite animation.

  • Think, think about.

  • I'm going to worry about going into the hospital on everything that that entails.

  • It's more like just staying well, you're in isolation.

  • We might not be, but we have to be, Yeah, we'll get to do the same thing.

  • Yeah, just be really careful.

  • So if anyone will scale shopping well, it was definitely feel less isolated.

  • This weekend is getting in touch with people we know who happened to work in areas that could give us advice.

  • Our friends, consultant, obstetrician and way have lots of questions, obviously, and she sent us this amazing website, which has great advice.

  • We found it really reassuring.

  • So make sure there's a link to that.

  • People are saying it's gonna peek at the exact time Babies ju.

  • I just don't want to get nervous about going into hospital or because you get nervous enough about it.

  • I guess it's just taking every day at times.

  • But that's why I think asking questions was so born like in a moment.

  • I feel like it's only owes in this position.

  • It's obviously not that so many people, not just the staying and also the thinking about a baby on the way.

  • Talking to people has been really helpful.

  • So I would say if you've got any questions, any ideas, any suggestions, just put them down below because there are other people going through the same thing.
