Back to work…

Monday 1st July was my return to work date. I didn’t really think about it for a long time. It was one of those underlying stresses that you don’t really think you’re stressed about because you never really think about it until BAM! You realise that yes, in-fact. It is a really stressful situation toContinueContinue reading “Back to work…”

The fuss about walking…

The stress, “when do you think he will walk?”. I have NO IDEA Paula, “When you do YOU think he will walk?”. I think the question is up there with “When are you having another one?” in terms of pure annoyingness. It is the first biggest stress I would say, the first biggest “is myContinueContinue reading “The fuss about walking…”

Blueberries, Broccoli and Watermelons

We started to wean Riley bang on 5 months old. As you already know, his reflux was horrendous and in turn it made him a hungry baby. We couldn’t wait to get him off so much liquid! His first taste was Blueberry puree. We didn’t really buy many jars or pouches of things, we startedContinueContinue reading “Blueberries, Broccoli and Watermelons”

The bad days…

All mum’s have bad days! I am fully aware of the perfect mum’s on social media, with perfectly clean houses. Not a dirty pot or toy in sight on any photo! … I’m guilty of it myself. Moving washing off the radiators, pot towels off the table, dirty pots from wherever they are in theContinueContinue reading “The bad days…”

When they tell you, “you wont have time”, but you don’t believe them!

I had so many plans for maternity leave, to study, to picnic, to walk, to get fit, to eat right. Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn’t have the time! Did I believe them? NO! I already worked full time, had a horse and ran a small beauty business on the side for some extraContinueContinue reading “When they tell you, “you wont have time”, but you don’t believe them!”

White Noise…

I found out today that some of my Mum friends DIDN’T KNOW about white noise! WHAT! So I have decided to write a short blog about it, hopefully it will help a few of my followers! White noise is the sound of lots of different sounds all played together at the same time but atContinueContinue reading “White Noise…”

Putting ourselves through Anti-reflux school…

From the moment Riley was born – feeding was hard work. I opted not to breast feed, it just wasn’t for me so Riley was put onto bottled formula from the moment he was out in the wild. Every feed dribbled out of the sides of his mouth, we went through 20 bibs a dayContinueContinue reading “Putting ourselves through Anti-reflux school…”

The Stuff No One Talks About…

So, he’s here! He has a long head … I can’t feel the bottom half of my body. Luckily Richard is able to stay at the hospital for the night. I don’t know what I would have done if he wasn’t able to stay, I wasn’t mentally strong enough to have had to ask someoneContinueContinue reading “The Stuff No One Talks About…”

I had no idea what to expect…

I don’t know about you, but I have never been into an operating room. I sort of knew what to expect from a normal birth, but had NO IDEA what to expect of a C-Section. Being wheeled from the labour room to the surgery, I absolutely can not remember. It is all still a blur.ContinueContinue reading “I had no idea what to expect…”

The labour

It turns out I was right… something wasn’t quite right with my waters. The midwife did a bit of rushing backwards and forwards. I felt calm but clammy, my palms where sweating and I could feel my heart beating a little faster than normal but all in all on a scale of 1 – 10ContinueContinue reading “The labour”
