This week has seen my birthday and then the inevitable end of the summer holidays which meant Mr T returned to work and Tinker and Milly returned to school, leaving me at home with the two littlest and trying to get into a bit of a ‘normal’ routine. It’s certainly been busy but lots to … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#29)
This week has seemed really busy, maybe because the end of the summer holidays is fast approaching and so we are trying to pack everything in! In no particular order, here is what has been making smile this week. Old Trafford Tour – Mr T is a huge Manchester United fan and for Father’s Day … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#28)
I have totally neglected this series in the last couple of months, but seeing as I have been pretty busy with the arrival of Luna I’m not going to feel too bad about it! But I love writing these little diary posts (and I hope they will be something the kids all look back on … 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
World Breastfeeding Week
It's the last day of World Breastfeeding Week today (as I post this it's literally the last few minutes!). I didn't know whether to comment on it at all as breastfeeding seems such a controversial subject these days. I'm not quite sure when something so ordinary and natural became such a delicate thing to talk … 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’s birth story
I always knew that the chances of being induced were very high due to the risks related to my age (I'm pretty ancient for the childbirth world – 42) my consultant wasn't happy to let me become overdue so the plan was always to be induced on or just before my due date. I didn't … 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
