Walking: And We’re Off!

Just a quick post, because I'm currently trying to watch 50 Shades of Grey on the telly and it's requiring all of my willpower to maintain eye contact with the screen. It is, quite possibly, one of the worst films that I have ever seen in my life. Boring, non-sexy and...

Babygrows: 12-18 Months

We've had baby sleepsuits, 12-18 months and now here are the babygrows. (If you haven't the foggiest what I'm on about then read my post about the Baby Clothing Size Directory!) Excuse the fact that my halloween inclusions are now slightly out of date; I meant to get...

Baby Sleepsuits: 12-18 Months

For more info and background on the Baby Clothing Size Directory please read the post here - in time, all of the directory posts will be in one Directory here, but this is the first one. Sleepsuits, 12-18 months. Measurements have been taken as follows: Length:...

The Baby Clothing Size Directory

It has come to my attention, through many failed spending sprees, that there's often a lot of - what shall we call this? - flexibility when it comes to baby clothing sizes. Babygrows that come up tiny in one high street brand but, if you pop over the road to another,...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 25 Weeks

How magnificent! I've finally caught up with the pregnancy diaries. I'm writing this live, not typing up something from my iPhone notes that feels as though it was written in the prehistoric times. I can moan away and know that you're seeing it instantly and that...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 23 Weeks

This week has been mainly dominated with my concern for my C-Section scar and my irritation levels about the fact that all of my underwear seems to be slipping down from my bump and creasing in the exact place that the scar is. It's not comfortable at all. I now know...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 21 Weeks

Oooh, where have I been? Naughty naughty diary writer! I must be feeling better, as I've stopped writing down all of my moans and gripes. I'm only back to tell you all about my stomach issues... I've had such BAD runs (the D-word - can never spell it anyway) and pains...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 17 Weeks

I'm pretty sure I've been feeling some movements for the last couple of days. I can't be entirely sure whether it's just digestion but I remember thinking the same thing last time (quite a bit later) and then just knowing that there was something different about the...

The Pregnancy Diaries: Week 16

[Note: as I type up this diary entry I am 25 weeks pregnant. At this rate, I'll only catch up once the baby is born! So I'm going to try and get up to speed over the course of the next few days - sorry if it's pregnancy diary overload.] I can honestly say that I think...

The Pregnancy Diaries: 14 Weeks

First day without a nap and I wasn't even that tired! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the second trimester. Is this the short one? I can't remember... I feel so much better, which could be partly to do with giving up those bloody vitamins. (See 13 Weeks.) I do wonder...

The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 13 Weeks

I've suddenly had a fast-forward to thirteen weeks! I had my twelve week scan and was a bit further on than I thought - I must have ovulated on, like, day 2 of my cycle or something. (No wonder it took so long to get pregnant the first time - I caught really early in...

The Early Pregnancy Diaries: 11 Weeks

Not so much sickness at all, this week - it's amazing how something can take over your life so completely and then just creep away quietly so that you forget it was ever there. I'm still very tired, so I definitely feel the baby "presence" but I'm definitely far less...
