Well, it has been a while since I last had a chance to post on here – life has been very busy in the last six weeks! First of all, we enjoyed a lovely holiday at Center Parcs with the inlaws when Eve was three weeks old. It was the first time we have gone [...]

Well, it started pretty well. Once, they even both slept right through to 6.30am without a single wakeup. But, a week and a half later, overall progress has been mixed. Yes, we are currently trying to settle Isla and Lilly into sharing a bedroom. We only have a two bedroom house, so this is an [...]
Operation Shared Bedroom

We only live in a small two bedroomed house. Back when we were a family of three, and Isla was just a twinkle in our eyes, we used to say we couldn’t have another baby until we moved. But then (as you may have heard) moving got a touch difficult in this world of ours, [...]

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 [...]

… we’re not getting any! It’s a pretty round the clock parenting thing going on in our house at the moment. At least one of our little darlings is always keeping us busy, it seems. Our days begin bright and early with Lilly waking us up anywhere from 5.30am to 7am (only the later end [...]

Well, here we are at 40+6 and baby has not made her appearance yet! Yesterday, Tony, Lilly and I went to Chester Zoo for a family outing. We thought we’d try some tempting of fate, and go as far away from the hospital as we dared! (However, as we now have the hospital bag and [...]

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 [...]

For the last few days I’ve also felt ill at the thought of tea and coffee – something which never happened last time. I know it must be so obvious in work when I’m turning down teas and coffees – usually I’m a caffeine monster – but I don’t really care if people work out what the reason might be – the thought of a cup of coffee makes me feel really sick!

Goodness, me! Lilly is now coming up to eight months old and this is my first post since she was born… (bad, bad blogger!) Having a baby is certainly a full time job, and somehow you just don’t seem to have the time on your hands you did when you were pregnant – funny that! [...]

After receiving a jiffy bag stuffed with raspberry leaf tea from my mum (who swears its what got my little sister shifted at 13 days overdue), I drank five cups of it yesterday and then we went out for a curry.
