As seems to have happened too many times recently, family life in our house has undergone yet another dramatic change – all in the space of the past week! In fact, it is hard to believe that only just over a week has gone by since Tony found out his job was ending and he was being [...]

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 [...]
Last days of maternity leave…

Well, that’s it then. My maternity leave has finished. On Monday morning I will be rejoining the world of work. Yikes! The last six months have flown. Actually, it’s been more than that, as I finished at 35 weeks and Isla was 12 days overdue. Next week our new arrangements begin. I will be working five days a [...]

When we thought about having another child, we always knew one of the biggest issues was going to be childcare costs. Before I went on maternity leave, I was working full time and Lilly was in nursery four days a week – Tony’s mum looking after her on the other day. We tried to bury [...]

Well, here we are… 22 weeks pregnant… time is really rushing by! We had our re-scan on Thursday after the first 20 week scan failed to pick up the baby’s stomach. I’m pleased to say, this time, everything was absolutely fine and baby had a nice full tummy which enabled the sonographer to measure everything [...]

Well, we’ve reached double figures! I am still feeling a bit “car sick” every day. It last all day and fades in the evening time. I think it might be slightly less than a week ago, so hopefully it’s starting to go away as all the books promise. My boobs are now very tender for [...]

I have been enjoying some lovely time off work over the last week, and am still off until Friday when it is DEFINITELY D-Day and I will be telling work my news! Until then, I am trying not to have too many sleepless nights worrying about things! Since I have been off work, my bump [...]
