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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, I am now totally “out of the closet” at work, in the family and with friends, which feels good! But just as I thought the morning sickness was fading a little it seems to have reared its head again – I felt terrible all day yesterday. However, I’m starting to think it might have [...]

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 [...]
