The journey through our latest pregnancy and looking back at our last
It’s been four weeks since my last pregnancy update. A lot seems to have happened since then and it feels like an age ago and, to be honest, I am closer to 33 weeks than 32 but I thought I had better press publish before the baby actually makes an appearance. We’ve had Boo’s birthday … [Read more…]
I love babies. All the babies and, even though I am beyond grateful for this latest baby growing inside me, as I near the end of my pregnancy, I am getting fed up. So, rather than wallow in self-pity at my beach whale kinder surprise appearance and the fact that it is an effort to … [Read more…]
As a new mama preparing to sustain your infant with an on-demand, nutritious source of milk, you are going to need to dress for the part.

Before I start this post, I need to say, I don’t *need* much for baby number three. Yes a new mattress for the Moses basket and crib. Nappies, possibly bottles and a new changing mat but none of them are terribly exciting. I also want another pram but that is a story for another … [Read more…]

This week I read a lovely post by Rachel Swirl about previous Christmases. Christmas is such a special time for little ones that I thought I would copy use her idea and look back at our first Christmases. With Boo and G both having January birthdays, they were 11 months and almost 11 months when … [Read more…]
I am all for heralding our amazing NHS and the great work they do but this week, I was so annoyed with one of my community midwives. I am 27 weeks and went off for a check with the midwives at my doctor’s surgery. Little G and I arrived in time for my appointment but … [Read more…]
Being pregnant with my third baby means a lot of things. We have pretty much everything in terms of equipment. I just need to buy new mattresses for the crib and moses basket. I will eventually need one for the cot but G is still in it and I am reluctant to evict him … [Read more…]
Things they don’t tell you about pregnancy number 576-dreams. All the dreams. They are just so vivid. As if you’re getting enough sleep as it is what with ligament stretching and toilet breaks, your mind is on over drive. From the day dreams when it is taking you six hours to actually get to sleep … [Read more…]
