I didn’t do a pregnancy update last week because nothing happened. I joked that a quiet week always leads to an eventful one and I wasn’t wrong. Can you tell by the look on my face above? I was booked in with my community midwife to have my blood pressure checked but I knew it…
When you think about having a baby, there are many things to consider. Once you are blessed with one child though (or more) there is one thing that never really crosses your mind until the day for the new baby to be born grows close. The truth is, I am dreading leaving my children when…
My little prince G turned two at the end of January. The transition from a baby at one to a little boy at two has been amazing to witness. This time last year, he was crawling at an alarming rate and, whilst he was in the verge of walking, it hadn’t quite happened. Well he…
January can be a funny old month but this year, I will be taking part in Liked and Loved, a monthly post via the lovely Cornish Mum, telling you the things I have used or enjoyed is that particular month. While most people struggle with positives in the first month of the year, it was…
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…

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…
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the differences between being pregnant with G and this time. Your first pregnancy is the most different because you can do what you feel like doing and, if that happens to be nothing, then so be it. You can nap when you’re tired, eat junk for lunch if…
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…
Browsing through my feed on Instagram the other day, it struck me how we are living with an actual dare devil on a daily basis. Before he could even walk, G was getting into mischief. He has always pulled off his socks-so much so that on especially cold days, I totally flummox him and…
