The day before I went into hospital to have Ruby, I was sat at home bored — everything was clean and organised, I’d watched a ridiculous amount of Netflix and I was ready to roll. Thinking ahead, I wondered when Joe would be next off work after his paternity leave ended and decided to book us a little getaway over the Christmas break. I knew the baby would be three months of age by then, so we’d be well into the swing of things and ready for our first family adventure.
