Times are a changin!

There have been lots of things happening here the past few weeks and there are going to be a few changes.

Firstly, and probably what will have the biggest impact on us all is we have no more help. So from next week my mum will be here one day a week and hopefully we will be able to employ help at least one other day a week so I can have a breather. Our beautiful nanny has been with us for 6 months now and has become a wonderful friend and a part of our family. If it wasn't for help the past six months I am sure I wouldn't be in such a good head space now.

So with that I have made the decision to stop expressing. I have been expressing now for 8 months which is incredible on its own but I will struggle to find the two hours a day now to continue and have really struggled with my energy levels the past few months. I have also struggled on days out because of being so uncomfortable so hopefully now will feel more comfortable and able to stay out for longer periods of time. I knew this day would come eventually and I am so pleased that I was able to continue as long as I did with the support of my friends and family. I do feel as though my hand is being forced somewhat by no longer having the support during the day but feel it is time to move on. So lets just hope our little ones accept the change without to much disruption.

So what else has been happening in our lives? Mr TAN has decided to start back at uni this semester, he is just doing one unit to start with to see how things go. A few weeks ago when i was at the doctor I got a funny looking mole removed, turns out that it was a melanoma and I need to go for day surgery next week to get more skin removed. Luckily it was only a stage 1 and caught early so please be vigilant with checking your skin!

Apart from that not much else is new but will try to update more next week...
