The journey through our latest pregnancy and looking back at our last
I wrote recently about Rosie the dog being a bit obsessive with me since I got pregnant. She follows me round just a bit more than usual but it seems her obsession has taken a step further. The poor thing is having a phantom pregnancy. Rosie became a teenage parent six years ago and, since … [Read more…]
Not having a drink when I was pregnant with Boo just wasn’t a problem. This time though, there has been more than one occasion when I could have really done with a glass of wine or a vodka. Maybe it is something to do with looking after a small child, who knows? I obviously haven’t … [Read more…]
Aren’t hormones weird? You think you’ve been hormonal but nothing compares to the little blighters that flow through your being during pregnancy. In the first few months, you are basically a nightmare to live with. I’d be laughing one minute and crying the next. You can even be aggressive. When I was pregnant with Boo, … [Read more…]
So tonight I attended a Mothercare expectant parent evening. I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know anything like this even existed when I was pregnant with Boo.

So as I’m over half way, I’ve been looking around at what I need for our new arrival. I still have many things from when Boo was a baby so thankfully it’s not loads but there is one thing that has been bugging me. When I was pregnant with Boo, a lovely friend let me … [Read more…]

So today was very exciting. Boo and I went to the Baby and Toddler show at Event City near the Trafford Centre and it was my first time as a real-life pregnant person. I didn’t feel like a fraud. Yay. We got a voucher at the door for an Emma’s Diary goody bag and then … [Read more…]
I feel like doing a drum roll but I can’t work out how to write it. We had the 20 week scan today. I was still beside myself with worry. Every scan I have ever had, ever, I haven’t slept well the night before. Boo was at nursery this morning and I had the choice … [Read more…]
So this week I am over half way through my pregnancy. I am 20 weeks but, I will be induced at 38 weeks (at the latest) so I am over half way-yippee. The 20-week scan is this week and, despite being adamant that we wouldn’t find out the sex of the baby, I admit it, … [Read more…]
