I had a baby. Then I blinked. Now she’s one. Well that’s how it feels, as if my baby girl, our littlest, has grown up in the blink of an eye! I always knew Luna was destined to be the baby of our family and as she has 6 older siblings I am all too … Continue reading
Our littlest girl is growing up way too fast, she turned nine months old this week! We are hurtling towards her first birthday far too quickly for my liking. She’s such a good girl, no trouble at all, always smiling and happy and pretty undemanding overall bless her. She has the most infectious chuckle and … Continue reading
If I’m absolutely honest, the title of this post is totally misleading – the truth is, I do want another baby! I am just one of those mothers who will always want ‘just one more….’ I constantly get asked if I’m going to have any more and even though it makes me sad, in my … Continue reading
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
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
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 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
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
I am a day late with this update (sorry, it's been a busy week!) but this week baby Twinkle is about as big as a baseball glove or a cabbage, around 35.5cm tall and weighs around 900g (close to 2 pounds). If my bump is anything to go by she is certainly growing just fine! … Continue reading
