A few weeks ago I invited you all to guess a few things about Squidge/Lydia’s birth, and now that she has safely here we have our answers… and our winners! What day will I give birth? 27th February How much will Squidge weigh? 9 lb 3 Will it be a boy or a girl? Girl …
Allow me to introduce Lydia Elizabeth Corkhill… Squidge Lydia was born at 1:24pm on Wednesday 27th February 2013, weighing in at 9 lb 3, after a long & difficult labour which was also followed by postpartum haemorrhaging. More on that particular story to come! The hospital staff were amazing. We were discharged from hospital yesterday …
This week’s SquidgeWatch post is a few days late because we had a little bit of drama on Monday! While I was sorting out the dishwasher and starting to prepare lunch for Georgie & myself, I managed to fall over. We’re not talking about a small stumble here folks, I went flying and even brought …

Defying the predictions and expectations of my consultants, ultrasound technicians and ourselves, my placenta has shifted out of the way and I have been cleared for a natural birth! I was diagnosed with Complete Placenta Praevia at 20 weeks and put on …
I’m now passed the 33 week mark and things are becoming harder to deal with – the fun part of pregnancy is definitely fading away & the anxious countdown to the end beginning. My SPD is still playing up; it is a lot worse if I have been doing a lot – I did lots …
With a second baby on the way and Georgie not yet two, James and I have been considering our options when it comes to pushchairs. Ideally we wanted to avoid buying a double buggy as (a) I just don’t like them and (b) they cost a lot of money for something you don’t use for …
