Maternity clothes. You either love them or you hate them. Most of mine are from my pregnancy with Boo and are mostly made of black jersey. I was pregnant at more or less exactly the same season with Boo as with this baby so that has come in handy. This is my comfy outfit. Leggings…
I’m a big advocate of excuses. The dog ate my homework, that kind of thing. Since being pregnant this time though, it seems I am milking these moods and hormones for all they are worth. Last week, for example, I had a total neurotic rant at Hubster, for nothing. Nothing. Bless him, he nipped out…
Can I have a claxon please? I am officially into my third trimester. It is true ladies and gentlemen, I am 28 weeks pregnant and you know what that means? That’s right, my hormones are supersonic I only have 10 weeks left. Yes, ten little weeks until I will be induced. Yay. So this week…
When I had Boo, a changing bag was just an after thought. Something you needed when you were out and about and I wanted it to match the pram. This is the only pic I could find of it-just to the right of the photo That is all I required. I am hoping hindsight…
I haven’t written about ‘proper’ farming for a while. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has overtaken what I’ve got to tell you about but that all changed yesterday as love was in the air at the farm. The rams went to spend a few months with the ewes (lady sheep) for love, companionship and maybe definitely more….
Something happened in bed last night-my first leg cramps of this pregnancy. Thanks goodness I knew what it was this time. It is the most painful thing ever, especially when you’re asleep and it wakes you up. It is always in my calf and always in pregnancy. Indeed, when I was pregnant with Boo, I…
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,…
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. It promised: car safety and car seat fitting advice nursery furniture, cot mattresses and the latest sleep safety advice pushchair and pram choices breast pumps…
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…
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…
