Baby no.3 is…. ANOTHER GIRL!! We had our 20 week scan this week and were excited to find out whether our new family member was going to be pink or blue… after two previous girlies it was no big surprise to hear the sonographer say: “looks like a girl to me!”. Most friends and family [...]

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, [...]

14.5.11 Back in January I wrote a post in which I set out some goals for myself for 2011. I promised that I’d review them every so often to keep on track of how i’m getting on, so here is the first of those tracker posts. 1. Teach Lilly to read - I have bought a set of [...]
Isla’s Christening
Posted in Family life, Newborn to 12 months, tagged 18 weeks old, baby, catholic, Christening, church, family on November 7, 2010 | 6 Comments »
At 18 weeks old it was time for Isla to be Christened. The service took place at our local church, St Catherine’s, which is where Tony was Confirmed, we were married and Lilly was also Christened, so a place where we have a real connection. The service was at 12.30am so in the morning we [...]
We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo…

… in fact we’ll be going to the zoo many times this year as we decided to buy an annual pass for Chester Zoo. We’ve been quite a few times since Lilly was born, and we’ve always thought it was a really nice way to pass a day, even though it did seem a little bit [...]
My little girl is growing fast
Posted in 2-3 years, Family life, tagged 34 month old, behaviour, development, family, growing up, three years old, toilet training on October 20, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Lilly is just two and half months away from being 3, and in the last month or so she seems to have started growing up fast. I think it all started when she got her first haircut – we were stunned at how much of a little girl she looked with her cute baby curls [...]
Plans plans plans

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 [...]
Three months in
Posted in Family life, Newborn to 12 months, tagged 3 months old, baby, development, family, sisters, sleeping, toddler on September 28, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Well, here we are – Isla is three months now, and Lilly is motoring very fast towards three! Isla is still a very good baby – sleeps a lot during the day and has been sleeping through the night for about three weeks now. She remains extremely placid and chilled out in character – in [...]
We’re not made of cardboard…

I’ve been really disappointed with this summer, because when I visualised life with a new baby and Lilly too I thought of spending days in the park and in the garden, playing in the paddling pool and getting loads of fresh air. It hasn’t really worked out like that, has it? Ok, it’s not been [...]
It’s been a busy week…

It’s been all go this week with appointments here and there for both girlies. On Monday, Isla had to visit the hospital to have her hips checked. This was a routine appointment for any babies who were breech late into the pregnancy – she was only breach up to 36 weeks and then turned, but [...]
