Saturday, 20 June 2009. Only 4 days left of work. Quite hard to believe really. Finishing on Thursday should (in theory! Give me 4 weeks off to get organised and rested before motherhood begins. So many people tell me of stories where they know someone who went into labour early the day after they finished work (or something equally as scary! So I am hoping and praying that baby Carswell will remain in comfort and the warmth for another month! You can see my. It is when the theory. See how much we have.

http://jencarswell.blogspot.com/2009/02/one-of-advantages-of-living-in.html
Sunday, 22 February 2009. One of the advantages of living in a different time zone. Is that you can prolong turning a year older by a whole 13 hours (because technically I should celebrate my birthday on UK time as that is where I was born). I attempted to do this today.however, the excitement of lots of parcels to open was too much and so I gave in to turning 31 ahead of time. Ain to play Nana for our little arrival. 13 For you created my inmost being;. You knit me together in my mother's womb. My frame...

Jen's Journey: Happy St. Patricks Day
http://jencarswell.blogspot.com/2009/03/happy-st-patricks-day.html
Monday, 16 March 2009. Happy St. Patricks Day. Why is is that St Patricks Day is celebrated more outside of Ireland than in it? Perhaps it is to do with the fact that places like New Zealand, Australia and the USA have so much Irish heritage. Tomorrow in work we are having a special St Patricks Morning Tea charity fundraiser. We have to wear something green for the occasion (I will wear Ben's Ireland Rugby shirt so I think I will win hands down if there is a contest! Christ be with me, Christ within me,.
