I don’t want to forget

When we first had Leo I remember one of the pieces of advice we were given was to write down memories of how Leo said words or little quirks that he had so that we wouldn’t forget them when he’s older. I never paid much attention as I just always assumed we wouldn’t forget. How…

My Life with a Two year old

I’m a chronic over thinker and I like to know that I have thought of every possible scenario of a situation that may or may not happen so that I can be prepared for what may come. When Leo was really small I liked to think I was quite prepared for most things that would…

My Baby Favourites (update)

The last baby favourites post I did when Leo was only 3 months old. He is now nearly 15 months old. Obviously that means that we have been through a whole load more products and things and Leo even has his preferences to what he likes and what he doesn't. As in the last post,…

The Last 11 Weeks

Since The minute I was born I have always been a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister and a niece. I have never not been one of those things so I have never known how not to be one. To a degree I guess I have never had to "learn" how to be any of those…

Leo Jack and Me (The birth of my Baby)

The Pregnancy

I realise that in my last post I never said anything about the results from the ultrasound I had... I'll get to that in a bit. Following on from my previous post, I had just discovered I was pregnant. I was genuinely in shock and stood staring at the test for a good ten minutes…

On Babies (and why the lack of)

So I figured it was about time I wrote about what's been going on for the last 16 months. This may be in a couple of different posts as I have way to much to say on the subject. In January 2017 I wrote a post about my lack of babies. As in I had none despite…
