1. Decide (once again) to move house! Yes, our house move is back on and this time we are so INCREDIBLY EXCITED about it all because the house which popped up for rent when Eve was 3-days-old was in our most favourite part of our most favourite road and it had everything we wanted but thought [...]

35 weeks pregnant and counting down to maternity leave
Posted in Being pregnant, Third trimester, tagged 35 weeks pregnant, heatburn, maternity leave, Work on January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Well I am now 35 weeks pregnant and at the stage where, in my last two pregnancies, I finished work and began maternity leave. But this time round, I still have another three weeks to go - 15 working days to be precise (not that I’m counting!) I am feeling the usual aches and pains of late [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

Well, I finished work today to start my maternity leave! I’ve had a really lovely day, with lots of kind things said and lots of lovely presents, not only for me and the baby but also some presents for Lilly too! It feels really great to finish. Work itself hasn’t really been so bad, it’s [...]

Well, if I wasn’t feeling particularly tired last time I blogged, I certainly am now! In the last week I have been feeling very pregnant indeed! I feel huge and I feel slow and I feel lazy! I’ve also had some kind of strange bug which left me feeling a bit strange and slightly sicky [...]

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 [...]
