Return of the Pandorum and a Little Introduction

I really have to apologise, it has been a very long time. But I think I should start with an introduction. His name is Archie, he was born on 6 December 2012 by caesarean section and he is my little monkey boy. He is beautiful. He is delicious. He is my wee miracle. Three days ago he turned one. I don't know where that year has gone.

Since last updating my blog I discovered many things: Pregnancy is miraculous, life giving and glorious. And evil and unnatural and miserable; The giving of birth is incredible and oh such a privilege. Personally I would prefer the visiting stork; Newborns are the most perfect and beautiful and mind blowing little beings on the planet, yet nothing in life seems to present quite the challenge of owning one. Since last updating my blog I have acquired a more jiggly, less reliable body, I have doubled my self made army of mischief and I have had almost no sleep. I have had almost no sex. I have searched for miracles in wine and chocolate in smaller quantities than craved and I have experienced love on a level that makes me the luckiest woman on earth. And I am certain I am now in my fifties. I have done next to no housework.

I have great plans to tell you about my boobs. Well I call them boobs. They no longer look familiar as they dangle by my feet. I shall update you on my Rabbit. She is now seven. And delicious. And creative and beautiful and nonsensical and brilliant. Her ears do not work. I shall have a chat or ten about my husband. About how I love him. About how I love that he is mine and I am his and how I love to watch him be a daddy to my little people. That I made. And how sometimes I believe he is from a world so far away that he must indeed be a different species. And how sometimes this is because my hormones run rampant but mostly it is at times when it is all his fault. And of course he still owns a teenager who lives in my house. Who hasn't changed her bed since I last updated this blog.

I am looking forward to catching up. I hope you have been well. Welcome back to Alora's Pandorum.
