What follows is the birth story I wrote in June 2015. Don’t ask me why it has taken me so long to hit publish but as it’s 2 sleeps until Baxter turns 3 it seems fitting to do it now…… Ok, so before we start. I didn’t take my camera with me to the hospital. […]
I have always really wanted to have 3 children. I am so lucky to have 3 beautiful, wonderful children. Each one of them is such an important part of our family. I cannot imagine how it would be if they weren’t all 3 here, being them. I almost didn’t dare ask the universe for another […]
Dancing was a big part of my childhood. I loved it, from the very first time. I think it helped me to develop skills I still use now, I made lots of friends. And I enjoyed escaping myself for a bit and being someone else. I loved feeling exhausted after a day spent dancing. I […]
What a week this has been. A whirlwind and one we will never forget. We are tired, some of us are very emotional*, we are adjusting and finding our way. And we are so very happy. Physically this has been my easiest recovery without a doubt. I know I’m only a week from giving birth […]
How do you fancy meeting the newest member of our family? Allow me to introduce you to Baxter Andrew Cameron. Born 9th January, 2015 at 11.32 pm which incidentally was his due date.

Which is the most pregnant I’ve ever been. Here is photographic proof. Before I go on I should just clarify that I’m not […]
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 […]
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 […]
Are you familiar with the concept of a birth story? If you are a big blog reader you might have read a few. I’ve always had it in mind to write it all down, to make it part of this, the bigger story of our family. Also I’m incredibly nosy and I like to read […]
