Another week has whizzed by and (as this post is a couple of days late) there is less than 11 weeks to go until we meet baby Twinkle. This week she is about as big as a pineapple and could be around 40.5cm and might weigh almost 3lb (1.35kg). The next few weeks will be … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#20)
This week has been another really busy one, the Easter holidays have been pretty packed full. Here's what has been making me smile this week: Easter holidays – the school holidays are the main reason I do the job I do! To be able to spend them together is so important to us and makes … Continue reading
Our mini ‘babymoon’
This week me and Mr T managed a couple of days away WITHOUT ANY KIDS!! With baby Twinkle due in less than 12 weeks we decided at the last minute to take what will probably be our last chance for some time together and have a mini 'babymoon' before she arrives. Tinker was heading to … Continue reading
28 weeks pregnant
Hello third trimester! Another week has gone by very fast and there are now only 12 weeks left until we meet our little Twinkle. I am feeling so excited to meet her and this just increases as the weeks go by. This week Twinkle measures somewhere around 40cm and is as big as a coconut … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#19)
I was doing so well posting every week in this series but I've managed to fall a bit behind again – oh well, better late than never. This post will just have to be more of a fortnight of smiles to catch up! So what's been making me smile recently: It's the Easter holidays! Two … Continue reading
The best £9.55 we ever spent
When I first suggested getting National Trust memberships a few weeks ago I could tell that Mr T was a bit half-hearted about it. If I'm honest, I felt a bit the same, I knew Milly would LOVE it (she might be 17, but she's actually middle-aged in spirit!) and I thought it would be ok for … Continue reading
27 weeks pregnant
The weeks are rolling around so fast but it still feels like Twinkle's due date is a long way off yet. I am really starting to feel the physical limitations of being pregnant now, I'm just getting so big, I feel heavy and slow and all the pregnancy niggles like swollen feet and heartburn have … Continue reading
Pregnancy days – feeling a bit meh
The last 24 hours I've felt a bit meh. We all have those days sometimes I guess, but pregnancy can be hard going at times, making them a bit more likely. I have to say that I honestly do absolutely love being pregnant most of the time (though as you read through this post it … Continue reading
26 weeks pregnant
The weeks seem to be flying by, in some ways it seems that 14 weeks until we meet Twinkle isn't long to go now, but then I think that's still more than three months left and I'm already huge – I hope my bump slows down a little. People are always shocked when I say … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#18)
Another busy week for us with Milly's birthday and Mother's Day and of course lots to smile about: On Wednesday it was the reception class's Parents' Lunch at Tinker's school. She was sooooo excited, which was lovely, and she was counting down the sleeps for days beforehand. When I walked into the hall where she … Continue reading
