Well what a year it's been. It must have been about January that we first heard of the Coronavirus effecting China, little did we know then how it would become a global pandemic, effecting lives and jobs and the health of loved ones. I think it's fair to say most people knew of someone who … Continue reading Christmas 2020
Well we've made it to our first half term. I feel like Polly's been only just started school then bang... 5 weeks later and she has just over a week off. Part of me feels like every half term should be 2 weeks long rather than a big 6 week holiday over the summer. Anyway, … Continue reading October Fun & Half Term
I can't believe I have a 5 week old baby. (Actually now 8 weeks, taken me a while to finish this) They say that the newborn phase only lasts 4 weeks and I already feel she is past that now and is an actual baby who is growing before my eyes! I wanted to write … Continue reading My Birth with Lola Rose
28 weeks Pregnant! I can't believe were here coming towards the end of this pregnancy. The day before turning 28 weeks (which is always a Tuesday) I had a scan and consultation appointment, this time at a smaller community hospital which doesn't have any wards so technically less risk of getting Covid19 etc. I've definitely … Continue reading The Third Trimester

How are we already in the second trimester, I mean over a third of the way through already is crazy. It's true what they say it goes alot quicker 2nd time round. I guess because I'm already busy with Polly etc and what with either midwife appointments or hospital visits another week soon passes by. … Continue reading The Second Trimester
I thought it would be nice to jot down how I've been feeling and what we've been upto. When I was pregnant with Polly I had a pregnancy journal that I'd write in weekly and I started to take bump pictures from about 8 weeks but this time I've been alot more slack as I've … Continue reading The First Trimester
I think when your trying for a baby naturally or via fertility treatment the 2 week wait can be absolute hell, the longest couple weeks of your life and like waiting for Christmas but in January. We fell pregnant on our 3rd and final round of Ovulation Induction and after the first 2 rounds unsuccessful … Continue reading My 2 week wait symptoms
"Would you like another child, Argh Polly would make a lovely big Sister, Did you only want the one child, Must be time for another?" If I had a pound for every time I got asked this I'd definitely have a Bentley on the drive.
