Advice for New Mums

I have seen a few posts about advice for new mums recently so I have been wracking my brain trying to think of all the good advice I would have liked to have received or even did receive as a new mum. I'm sure there was loads of good advice I got but in those…

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…

Being OK

"How's things?" "You alright?" "How you doing?" These are all questions that we ask people at least once on a daily basis. Yet, I always think, how often do we actually want to know the answers. For instance, when I walk in to my local shop and Sheila behind the counter says "hiya, you alright?"…

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,…

Leo Jack and Me (The birth of my Baby)

On the 21st March 2018, at 8.30am, I went to the hospital to have my labour induced. All being well, I wasn't going to be leaving again without baby. Hubby was with me as usual and again, things got really real, really quick. I couldn't believe that our baby would be here soon. The last few…

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…
