My mum is down this weekend, I’m so excited

My mum is coming down this weekend. It’s so exciting. The last time I saw her, we promised we’d go up to Isleworth every months for a few days and see the family but unfortunately life gets in the way and that didn’t happen, that was March. Crazy home much time has passed since then. Emily was so much smaller too. 
Although I send lots of photos on whatsapp and try to get a spare few minutes to call in the evening (which is rare), no amount of correspondence makes up for not seeing each other as much as I’d like. Before having Emily and moving down here last June in my early pregnancy, I lived in my hometown for 5 years. I’d always loved up the road, round the corner or the other side of London, never more than an hour away from mum. This by far is the furthest I’ve been from my family, for the longest time. I didn’t think I could do it but with a good support network made up of Sam, his family and my friends, I’ve managed to get passed being homesick and love it in a small town by the sea. In the time since I’ve seen mum last Emily has grown, a lot and mum will be shocked when she sees her. It’s mad that so much has changed in that time. But this weekend, mum will be down with her partner and it will be brilliant, I can’t wait. I’m not sure what to do yet, Thanet has a terrible way of advertising anything it has planned in the near future, so I can’t put anything in the diary, but hopefully the sun will be shining and we can possibly visit Canterbury or find somthing beyond my house.
