New year is a time that makes me unusually sentimental, it’s nice to look back at the past year and all the memories made, while wondering what the year ahead holds. In many ways, 2018 was not a big year for us, it has passed in a blur of raising three little girls and supporting … Continue reading

Becoming Nanna
Last year, not long after Mother’s Day, my eldest daughter told me she had a late Mother’s Day gift for me and showed me a positive pregnancy test – it took a moment to realise that my baby was having a baby! I was momentarily stunned, I hadn’t been expecting it but I was thrilled … Continue reading
Goodbye 2017, hello 2018
I love new year, it’s always a bit emotional reflecting on the last twelve months and all the things that happened that we could only imagine this time last year. As I’m writing this on New Year’s Eve (last minute as always!) I’m feeling very happy and content, we are having a quiet night at … Continue reading
The next generation
I have some very exciting news to share. No, I am not pregnant but somebody is…… My baby is having a baby!! My eldest daughter Jess is due to have her baby boy on 1st December, just three weeks from now. We are all so very excited to meet him! When she first told me … Continue reading
Luna – six weeks old
Somehow our littlest girl is six weeks old today! I feel like it has gone in a flash, I really wish time would just slow down a bit. Everything is going brilliantly, she is such a relaxed baby and rarely cries. She has just slotted into our crazy family life so well and it all … Continue reading
Luna – five weeks old
It is hard to believe that exactly five weeks ago I was still in the throes of labour and hadn't actually met my littlest girl yet. I know it's a total cliche and everyone says it but I honestly can't imagine life without her. She is doing absolutely great, breastfeeding is going really well and … Continue reading
Luna – four weeks old
It's hard to believe our little Luna Grey is 4 weeks old already, time is flying by way too fast! She is doing so well, she's still very chilled out and sleeping well. She was weighed last Thursday and had finally regained her birthweight plus a tiny bit more, weighing in at 9lb which was … Continue reading
Luna – three weeks old
Luna is now three weeks old! It feels like it has gone fast but at the same time it feels like she's been with us for ages. Things have really settled down this week and everything feels a lot more normal. I wouldn't say we are in a proper routine as I feed her on … Continue reading
Luna – two weeks old
Our beautiful littlest girl is already two weeks old. The days are going so fast and I just want to keep her tiny forever. She is such a good girl, very settled and at the moment she sleeps so well! She is quite settled in the daytime, feeding on average about every 3 hours then … Continue reading
Hello Luna – she’s arrived!
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
