Time is going so fast now, I can't believe it's only 5 weeks until we meet our little baby Twinkle! She should now be somewhere around 5 or 6lbs (2.25 – 2.7kg) and could measure up to about 48cm. Which apparently is about the size of a bunch of carrots or a child's backpack! She … Continue reading
As yesterday was Bank Holiday Monday we had planned on going out, Jess (my eldest) was coming over and we were going to visit The Bower in Lichfield (the annual carnival in a nearby town). However in typical bank holiday style we woke up to rain and our plans were a bit scuppered. I still … Continue reading
This week has mainly seen us counting down to halfterm (working in a school means we sometimes seem to spend all our time counting down to the next holiday!) There has been plenty to smile about as usual: Shugborough – yes I know I wrote about our Shugborough trip in my last Week of Smiles post but … Continue reading
Only six weeks left until we meet baby Twinkle, which doesn't seem long at all. I feel like there is still quite a lot to organise before she arrives but it still feels like we've got enough time so no need to panic just yet, just as long as she doesn't decide to make an … Continue reading
It's been another busy week for us that makes me wonder where on earth the time has gone but as always there has been plenty to smile about. Date night – last night me and Mr T went out for dinner just the two of us. It's something that we said we were going to … Continue reading
Only 7 weeks to go until we meet baby Twinkle, which somehow seems like no time at all and yet still seems like forever at the same time! This week has been a much better week in terms of how I'm feeling, my back has felt really good most of the time and my itching … Continue reading
This week has been another one that has zoomed by in a bit of blur and I have been finding it a bit tough being pregnant with one thing and another. But of course there has still been lots to smile about, so here are some things that have made me happy this week in … Continue reading
Another week closer to meeting baby Twinkle, only 8 weeks to go! I really need to start getting organised. This week the baby weighs up to 4lb (1.8kg) and could measure around 45cm (18 inches) which is apparently the size of an armadillo! She should be getting herself into a head down position ready for … Continue reading
This week has seemed to fly by, possibly because the May Day bank holiday meant it was a short working week. Lots of things to make me smile, in no particular order: Langan's Tea Rooms – On Saturday we went out for lunch to Langan's one of our favourite local places. Before we moved house … Continue reading
So the countdown is now into single figures as there are only nine weeks left to go until we meet little baby Twinkle. Which really doesn't sound long at all! This week she is about as big as a Romaine lettuce, might measure around 44.5cm and could weigh over 3.5lbs (1.6kg) but will be busy … Continue reading
