Butterflies & pretty hearts. That’s what I decided we needed this week, to make us feel really at home in our new house. As we are only renting, we don’t want to go overboard doing too much decorating (‘loud’ wallpaper & plastic chandeliers in the lounge aside – they must be obliterated soon) but I [...]

Lilly’s best friend
Posted in 3-4 years old, tagged 3 years old, best friend, children, friendship, nursery on August 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It has been an exciting weekend for Lilly because yesterday we made arrangements to spend the afternoon with her absolute bestest friend in the whole world, Daniel. Daniel is her friend from nursery. He is a month younger than her and they first met at baby massage classes when they were a few months old. [...]

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 [...]

… things have been very busy lately! I’ve been rather neglecting this blog, and i’ve even not had the time to be on twitter as much as usual! Yep, life is rather getting in the way at the moment I’m back completely in the swing of things at work, and on the two afternoons I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The potty training diaries

Ok, call us crazy, but when Isla was one week old we decided the time had come to potty train Lilly! We had been putting it off because of the arrival of the new baby, and not wanting to do it at a time when she might be unsettled. But Lilly has coped so well [...]

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 [...]
