The journey through our latest pregnancy and looking back at our last
So here we are at week 36 and this week I had my last growth scan and last antenatal appointment. I had woken up with a start the night before and thought nothing of it until I was waiting in ultrasound for the scan. I had waddled around Costco the day before yet didn’t seem … [Read more…]
Over the last few months I have spent a lot of time at the Antenatal Day Unit (ANDU). Despite much of the time being bored out of my tiny mind, it is quite an exciting place but, for the moment, the excitement always seems to be happening to other people. You see there are three … [Read more…]
I totally planned to breastfeed when I had Boo. It seemed to happen in hospital so they let us go home. I found no support so that night, when I arrived home with this tiny baby who was my responsibility, I think I panicked. The first time she cried that night, I couldn’t get her … [Read more…]
The nursery has been work in progress for a long time. I was pregnant when we moved to the farm In 2012 and the room had no carpet and was used as somewhere to dry washing and dump things that I couldn’t find anywhere else for. I lost the baby and the room continued as … [Read more…]

Worry. It’s a mother’s prerogative. Comes with the territory and it’s definitely in the job description. I never worried as much as I did when I got pregnant with Boo. I bled at eight weeks with her and, despite seeing the little shape of her as a baby on the early pregnancy scan, until she … [Read more…]
Hospital bags, the holy grail of pregnancy. First time around, I had no idea what to pack and definitely took too much. I am going to try and just take the bare minimum this time and pack a supplementary bag at home so Hubster can bring it in, should I need it. Last time I … [Read more…]
Have you ever got anything which you know could change your life? I don’t mean a ground breaking change but, you know, something which will make your life so much easier? Well recently I was sent a Gro Light from the Gro Company. I have been waiting for the nursery to be done before I … [Read more…]
If another pregnant woman told me what I did myself recently, I would tell them off. That’s right, just after Christmas and over 34 weeks pregnant, I weighed myself. I ate for six when I was pregnant with Boo, foolishly thinking those excess calories would come out beautifully wrapped with the baby and I would … [Read more…]
