When I was pregnant with my first child in 2011, I naively thought that you have a baby, learn how to care for it and that’s it. Six years on and three babies later, I now realise parenting is a continuous journey of discovery and change. That little baby grows into a boisterous toddler and…
I am currently seven weeks in to parenting three. I forgot so much about babies in the two year gap between G and Baby J. It could have been self preservation-no wants to remember the deliciousness of functioning on 40 minutes sleep a night. There have been moments though where I have laughed to myself…
I am a little late with my first month update for Baby J but I have had a good excuse. I have been drinking in every last drop of these newborn days. Being a parent third time around and knowing how quickly time goes, I am not missing a thing this time. The month started…
With my first two pregnancies, I quite fancied twins but, as I lay on the bed waiting for the scan with number three, my heart was in my mouth. Thankfully there was only one baby in there so, while I breathed a sigh of relief, when Zapf Creation asked if Baby Annabell’s brother could come…
Baby J is now a month old and, before baby brain takes over my head forever, I thought now might be the right time to share my birth story. We last left off with my 37 week pregnancy update. Like I said previously, my local hospital now gives any mother who is due to give…

Well, I never thought I’d get to 37 weeks but here I am. I have had a much better week with less appointments and more family time and it really has made all the difference to my mood. We even got a sneaky family trip to Knowsley Safari Park this weekend which was lovely and…
A is for antenatal. After your first pregnancy, you get seen a lot less. Even though I am more high risk this time than I was before, as it is my third baby, they are confident that if I feel anything isn’t right, I will call them myself. With two other children to look after,…
I am really enjoying my Liked and Loved posts after joining in for the first time last month. It really makes you think about things as you go along each week. Towards the end of my pregnancy with G, I was so sick of maternity clothes. As it is a similar time of year this…
I’m sure if you’re a regular reader, you will know of my love of all things baby. Not just babies though-all the paraphernalia that goes with them. Especially prams. I have been a regular visitor to the Baby and Toddler show at Event City in Manchester for a few years now but, with baby number…
