I received 3 “presents” in the post yesterday, the first a card from Cow & Gate that we can record our baby’s first giggle on to, and the second an anti colic baby bottle from Phillips Avent. Just what I needed, more reminders that we won’t be bringing our baby home in 3 weeks time. I guess in my excitement… Read More

The big O
No, not THE big “O” you’re all probably thinking about!! I’m talking about “O” for ovulation… I got a smiley face on a CB digi this evening, which means the Clomid is working and I’m 8 days ahead of where I would be normally, yay!! Only trouble is, I’m suffering one of the side effects of taking Clomid, a distinct… Read More
EDD looming
I don’t think I’ve given it much thought before now that the EDD of our lost bean is looming… but this week, every time I’ve used the Baby Centre app on my iPhone it’s automatically gone to the “My Pregnancy” page rather than the community page, reminding me today that I should be 35w+5d… I should have a huge belly by… Read More

Harder to maintain a normal relationship, sure everything starts off well and fun, but as time goes on it’s hard to keep from becoming two people trying to… Read More
Omg!
We went on holiday, we called it our last big holiday before having children in the hope that by next year we’d be holidaying with our little one. AF was due towards the end of the holiday and when it didn’t arrive I put it down to the time difference messing with my body, I was tempted to buy a… Read More
The next chapter
One of my cousin’s said to me after Dad’s funeral that one way to help get over the loss of a loved one was to have a baby! As much as I longed to be a mother, a baby was the last thing on my mind at that time. I discussed it with my husband and said he would leave… Read More
God saw you getting tired
I have always been very close to my parents and was always a “Daddy’s girl”, my father was older than my peer’s Dad’s but he was still young at heart, he said my brother and I kept him young. Although well into his retirement he was still a hard working, active man whether it be at the Church my parents… Read More
