Faded pram fabric – a solution

Posted on July 15, 2017 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

I recently bought a secondhand Mountain Buggy Duet pushchair from eBay. I didn't want to spend a fortune as Totsy is already past two and doesn't use a pushchair much now, but still needs one for longer walks, like our school run which is a 30 minute walk each way. After lots of research I … Continue reading →

Hello Luna – she’s arrived!

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

 Our beautiful baby girl Luna finally arrived on 5th July at 8:39pm weighing 8lb 15oz. We are all completely and utterly in love with her. I honestly feel like the luckiest mummy ever! It was a long and slow induction process followed by a tough labour (involving far too much gas and air and … Continue reading →

I'm now in my very last few days of pregnancy. I am booked in to be induced on Monday so very soon I should have a little baby! Yesterday I saw my consultant for the final time and had a sweep, which was uncomfortable but not too bad. Unfortunately, although I did go to bed … Continue reading →

I was doing so well posting regularly in this series but somehow it's been nearly 3 weeks since my last one, oops! Blogging seems to have taken a bit of a back seat in the last couple of weeks but as I'm heavily pregnant (38 weeks now!), with a brain that feels like mush most … Continue reading →

I have to say making it to 38 weeks pregnant makes it feel like the end is in sight and with my induction now booked in for 2 days before my due date I am definitely on the countdown – 11 days to go! It still feels strange thinking we will have an actual baby … Continue reading →

It's hard to believe I'm nearly at the end of my pregnancy journey, less than 3 weeks to go and Twinkle will be here. To be honest I'm so ready to meet her now! This week has been quite stressful, I had a scan last Friday which showed that Twinkle is growing nicely (approximate weight … Continue reading →

Now there are only 4 weeks left until we meet baby Twinkle it finally feels like I am reaching the homestretch. And if I'm honest, I'm a bit over being pregnant now and definitely on the countdown!  Apparently baby is now around the size of a chihuahua or a cabbage patch doll! I have a … Continue reading →

Last week was half term which has been nice even though we haven't been away or done anything particularly exciting. There has been lots to make me smile though as always. Snow Play – on bank holiday Monday we went to the Snow Dome in Tamworth. It was a last minute decision as we had … Continue reading →

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 →

Snow Play at the Snow Dome, Tamworth

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 →
