About Life and times of AJB-H

Hi, I have the privilege to be an at home mum to my now 3 1/2 year old son. The other much loved members of the household are my husband (of course!), our 4 cats and 6 fish who will no doubt make an appearance here.

I love taking pictures, capturing moments, be it with slr, point and shoot or my phone and now as of my birthday my Pen micro four thirds. I always have something with me. Sometimes well and sometimes not so well but being here has helped my eye and my appreciation.

That said about the only manual bit I can do or understand is the focus!

My son was seriously ill as a baby, from 3 weeks old, ending up with 8 weeks in hospital including 10 days on a ventilator in picu followed by a tracheostomy until he was 9 months old. He was born a week overdue by emergency c section and went home with a clean bill of health. By three weeks old he was have blue spells and breathing issues which led us to the hospital stay.

We are now in the midst of more problems he has severly swollen tonsils which are due to be taken out asap. This is causing sleep apnea and breathing issues again. Hey ho.

We had to wait for 4 years to get him & he was the result of our 1st (v lucky) attempt at ivf. With his illness we discovered a serious genetic issue that he and I carry which indicated he was even more of a miracle than we thought! He and I are both quite normal (not that my hubby would agree) but there is a potential for major problems in any future children so for many reasons he will be an only child like me and his dad, we turned out ok I think!!

That said on my Dads side I have a much younger half brother who is a budding rock god. He spends his time as a muso touring the world. Jealous, me???

Alfie is a hefty healthy boy who is the light of our lives whilst driving us totally scatty.

And one of the best subjects for photography.

I also make my own jewellery which pops up on occassion.
