Well, our little baby is growing and changing at a fast pace – already she is so much different from the completely helpless newborn she was only a blink of an eye ago. Eve, like her two sisters, is a little milk monster, and is growing and chubbing up nicely. During the day she is hungry at [...]

Life as a family of five

Well, Eve is now 10 weeks old, so we have had two and a half months to adjust to life as a family of five. Of course, it was chaotic at first. A pre-schooler, a very mischievous toddler and a newborn baby… And a house move when Eve was four weeks old… Well, it definitely had it’s moments! But [...]

Isla seems to have grown up so much in the two months since her birthday. It seems that every few days you look at her and think: “You’ve changed since yesterday!” Her biggest physical development since turning one is that we now have those gorgeous wibbly first steps. She has been walking for a few [...]

Well, we’ve had just over two weeks now for the news to sink in and we are feeling much more positive about the new little life that will (hopefully) be joining our gang. There are still a million uncertainties about finances and the house – we live in a small two bedrom house that, in [...]
Happy first birthday Isla!

Last week my littlest baby had her first birthday and is, as Lilly tells me, “nearly a big girl”. We celebrated with a barbecue for family at the weekend, with pass the parcel for the girls. And on Isla’s actual birthday, we took the girls to Windmill Animal Farm in Burscough where Isla enjoyed riding [...]
Two little lines
Posted in Being pregnant, Family life, First trimester, Parenting, tagged baby, family, positive pregnancy test, pregnancy, unexpected on July 3, 2011 | 13 Comments »
It’s funny how two little lines can turn your world upside down in an instant. Two little lines can force you to re-think everything: the job you do, how often you do it. The car you drive, the house you live in. The money you spend, the holidays you go on. The commitments you have, [...]

Isla is now 10 months old – it seems impossible that my littlest baby is coming up to her first birthday so fast! She is now much more mobile, she’s crawling and practicing doing a “bridge” with her feet and hands on the floor and her bottom sticking up in the air! She isn’t fully [...]
A week of changes

This week was my first week back at work after maternity leave. It was been a much planned for and anxiously anticipated week. It was also the week when Isla would start nursery properly, and Tony would take charge of the children in the mornings, having to get them to nursery by himself on two of those [...]
The Gallery: Body Parts

One of my goals for 2011 is to get better at taking photographs. And so, to encourage me to do this, I’ve decided to take part in The Gallery whenever I can as a bit of inspiration for some interesting snaps. This is my first time entering, and the theme this week is Body Parts. [...]
The baby monitor isn’t working…
Posted in Newborn to 12 months, Parenting, tagged anxiety, baby, Baby monitor, parenting, sleeping on January 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
… And now I can’t relax! Our baby monitor has served us well for three years… until today when it developed a syndome akin to the ‘red ring of death’, started beeping incessantly and the light flashing red. We only live in a small 2 bed house, and, in truth, we can hear when either [...]
