Things I’ve learned from my latest bump photo. I need to clean the mirror I make terrible screwed up faces when trying take selfies in the mirror I have no idea if my bump is bigger/smaller/rounder/more boyish/girlish this time around. For reference the pictures are in this order – Brodie, Grier, Baby #3 all around […]
This has been a Christmas like no other. It’s been punctuated with hospital visits for Croup, coughs, colds and sneezes, braxton hicks contractions and other assorted ailments.But so much good stuff too. Cuddles and laughs and the kind of golden magic that memories are spun from. Never have I been more aware that Christmas is […]
So anyone else feel themselves hurtling towards Christmas at a startling rate? Brodie’s festive programme has been packed this week – nativity play, parties, general overexposure to sugary foods and he has done so well. I’d mentally prepared to give him a lot more rope and he’s surprised me at how wonderful he has been. […]
I don’t know. I might have mentioned this once or twice recently. I’m pregnant. I’ve been thinking about giving birth times 1 and 2 and how that all happened. I’ve thinking about birth plans and hopes and dreams and all that stuff. I’ve spoken before about how how my control freakery contrasts with a desire […]
This is just after getting home from hospital You can read Brodie’s birth story here. Brodie was born at 38 weeks 4 days, so by 38 weeks 5 days I was impatient. Not really, I was actually pretty happy, comfortable (ish) and happy to spend time with my boy whose time as ‘only child’ was […]
It’s been a long week, I’m not going to lie. I can’t pick things up, put on socks or empty the dishwasher without feeling it in my ribs/hips/back. I’m well aware that I need to be sensible but life goes on you know? I still have to get stuff done but at the moment it’s […]
As I sank into a warm bubble bath on Friday evening – blissful – I cursed myself for leaving the tv on. The kids were with Granny and Granda and I was making the most of my time but I get a bit jumpy when it’s too quiet so I left the news on for […]
The first week of Advent calendars has been full of early starts:) I’m doing December Daily again this year – and I have a new toy. With my birthday money I bought this nifty photo printer. I think I love it. It makes the whole process so much easier. Also means I have the motivation […]
So in the last few weeks my somewhat tenuous grip on reality has loosened. Just last week I called a friend who’s been married for over a year by the wrong name, luckily she was very understanding but the whole thing brought to mind several exceptionally stupid things I’ve done over the past few weeks. […]
My sides hurt. Not from the weight of the bump but because I’ve been laughing so hard tears are running down my cheeks. Today was that day. The day we attempt to take a photo of the kids to send to far flung and not so far flung relatives. It’s always about a million times […]
