Shhh! You'll wake the baby!I'm furiously blogging while my 8 week old snoozes, a real rarity, believe me!Anyone that knows me knows I love a spot of Shoreditch house action. Not just for posing, no!I, for one, adore their simple concoction of a tasty breakfast; avocado laced with chilli on rye, and a side of juicy saucisson - ooo yea!Then we come to...
It's taken me ages to post this, but I have a demanding bubba and wanted to give my bag a fair trial.The first time my pink lining bag had it's outing was indeed, my labour. Having meticulously packed it for baby, I filled its nifty compartments with; loose nappies, nappy bags (Mothercare, they have a lovely baby powder scent), bepathen nappy cream (something I'm...
The Babyzen Yoyo Buggy I recently wrote about an exciting new lightweight and foldable pushchair on the market called the Babyzen YOYO, and now have an exciting new update! I was a little disappointed previously that the old version of the buggy was only suitable from 6 months and up to 15kg. (The Bugaboo Bee is suitable from birth.) The seat was also...
So again I am 40 weeks pregnant and thus overdue, currently by three days. My first baby was a week late. I'm sure most women who have given birth with empathise with me when I say I am so uncomfortable now that I just want the pregnancy over with. I can't sleep as I am so uncomfortable and just generally fed up with...
There are many lists on the web detailing items you might need when you go into labour, and you can even purchase ready packed bags. However, I am due to give birth to my second baby any day now and after the first I can tell you some of it is a waste of time, and some things that people always miss off...
Since our beloved CB is ready to give birth any day, the three of us thought we'd share musings about the inconvenient truth they call giving birth. 1. Most hospitals won't admit you until you're 4cm dilated, so be prepared to be sent home if you're not (some women make several trips over a few hours or days) - even if your contractions...
I'm now nearly 40 weeks pregnant, due on Saturday 18th, and I must say that what with Christmas and looking after my 2 year old I am absolutley shattered. When I get into bed at night it takes me ages to get to sleep because my back and legs ache like hell! I'm guessing that most pregnant women also feel like this. Unfortunately,...
I thought for a little treat to myself I'd have some semi-perm lashes applied. But in the early hours of the morning in my sleep deprived state I breastfed and pulled them out one by one.Let's say my natural lashes have seen better days.Making the transition back to mascara wasn't ever going to be easy after having Bambi-esque lashes for the last month.Luckily...
Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow... Or indeed, a breast feeding pillow. I purchased what I thought was the must-have maternity pillow, the Genii, and used it throughout pregnancy. Slightly discoloured and rather flaccid after 9 months of a fatty resting on it, I realised, whilst it gave my bump some support, it certainly wasn't as supportive as it should have been....
"How was your Christmas?", everyone at work is asking today. Umm, shit, I think - "lovely" I answer. OK it wasn't that bad but me, Lucy and hubby all had mild flu and apart from giving us an excuse to veg on the sofa for two weeks it pretty much ruined the festive atmosphere. And we couldn't taste our Christmas dinner either, so...
I don't know about any of you mums out there but the Bumbo seat never really worked for my little one. From the first time I put Lucy in it she would wriggle and try to get out. And as she got stronger she would easily escape, sometimes in seconds. So in the end I gave up on it. Here is Lucy in...
Any new mum will agree that new baby = sallow skin.The post pregnancy glow is the first thing to go, along with, (hopefully the belly). So, what to do?Find the holy grail of beauty balms, something I, and my co writers prepare to do.These days I'm lucky if I get five mins to clean my teeth, let alone moisturise or slap a face...
Sponsored post This is officially a December post, but having been run ragged with a newborn little boy, a rather traumatic birth, then a further 3-4 days in hospital I haven't had a chance to post it. So here goes...My little Albie was born on the 30th November, and like his mother he needs lots of attention! The little mite was born after an...
