It seems hard to believe that I am now 30 weeks pregnant, and Christmas is just around the corner. I am now into the third trimester and things are definitely becoming more difficult – my hips and pelvis have started to become quite stiff and painful, and getting up from the bed or sofa can …
As I continue through my second trimester, I am well aware that things are going to be harder to juggle in my third. With an increasingly active toddler on my hands and a rapidly growing bump I have been trying to get things sorted out for the new baby, as well as preparing for Christmas! …
I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! Apart from the CPP drama everything seems to be ticking along fairly well. After several weeks of not being allowed to lift anything heavy (including our little scamp) I have finally gotten used to thinking before doing, and so have been behaving very well as per …
After my diagnosis of complete placenta praevia at my 20 week scan on Monday, James and I set about working out the best way to ensure that I am a good girl and follow the doctors orders of ‘pelvic rest’ to minimise bleeding problems.

I think I’m actually starting to look pregnant, not just fat… especially in this bump flattering outfit of a joe browns tunic top (must buy more – the tunic nicely hides the wobbly fat bits below the growing bump!) …
I make no secret of it, I am a big fan of Fisher-Price baby products. In my experience, their baby equipment and toys are generally well made, great quality and utterly reliable. The only F-P toy I have ever disliked is the giraffe sit-to-stand toy which proved to be too unstable for Georgie to play …
Apparently, Squidge is now the size of a peach. I can’t believe how fast time has already flown since I found out I was pregnant, over two months ago! Now that the first trimester is over, I am definitely starting to show signs of leaving the sickness & exhaustion that came with it behind. I …
