2012 I had just given birth… I did little exercise and got back into my size 8 jeans after 6 weeks. I didn’t really diet and was happy with my weight. I never got back to the 7 stone 6 I was before I got pregnant but at 8 stone 7 I was happy. Roll …
Welcome Edith Grace… Birth Story
Since we last spoke I have had a baby…. that seems so surreal especially now she is 1 week old. My Due date came and went and every day I woke up with disappointment. Another night had gone by and no baby. I had 5 sweeps and lost my mucous plug 7 times! I didn’t …
We WILL have a baby this week!!!
41 Weeks today… who would have thought it. I for one never thought I would have got to this point in my pregnancy. In fact by now I assumed I would have at least a one week old!! I am possibly the most impatient person ever and I have being late for anything so when …
It’s my due date- Still no Baby!
It’s New Years Eve and whilst everyone is figuring out what to wear or where to go I’m sat wondering where this baby girl is. Erin was on her due date so I was very spoilt in not having to wait. I have had very little sign that she may be on her way and …
Merry Christmas- What a change from last year!
Well, that’s that…another Christmas. It’s appeared quicker than a flash of light for me. This year has gone so fast. When I think back to this time last year we were in London for an amazing show called The Christmasaurus, I was having anxiety attacks, I felt ill and I was going through IVF. I …
Is there any point in a birth plan?
Seven years ago when I was pregnant with Erin I meticulously wrote a birth plan and thought that when I got to hospital they would ask me for it and everything would be followed word for word. How wrong was I! My birth plan didn’t even get read. It wasn’t asked for, it wasn’t looked …
And it all went to pot!
This week has been very different to my positive pants week of last week. Although Erin has been fantastic with all the change and her star in her play as Innkeeper two! And I have remembered the Elf every day this week! Whooopppp The nesting has not only come to a halt it’s now gone …
The most magical time of the year… I’m due this month!!!
It’s December… in fact we’re one week in!!!! How did this happen?! This year has flown by and so much has happened. And I am 24 days away from my due date!!! Thankfully I am prepared! After a risky week this week of Matt being in America and my midwife telling me she’s engaged and …
Be Prepared or prepare to fail!
I am a lover of being organised, I think organisation is the key to mum life and I thought I was pretty organised with this baby and it happening around Christmas. I have been so prepped with all Christmas presents and have even written my cards and wrapped my presents! All be it I have …
And that’s that… Maternity leave here we come!
It’s 6.30am… I am awake. This is unheard of but I had a terrible nights sleep and my heart keeps fluttering with excitement. Today is my last day at work and my baby-shower. I’m not going to lie I’m excited about both! I have so many things I want to do before our baby girl …
