The tale of my first trimester is here and here and here... The first trimester of pregnancy 3 was not a happy one. As I have mentioned before it was filled with anxiety and emotion so I was very pleased to be going into the second trimester. Firstly, you should know I am shit at being... Continue Reading →
When I was a little bit pregnant with Eilys a new "shop" opened in Crewe. Well, I say shop, it wasn't really a shop at all but it was using a shop in Crewe town centre. It was called One to One Midwives and it said it was a pregnancy advice centre. Beyond that I... Continue Reading →
When I was trying my darnest to boob feed Dylan (see here and here for full tale) I tried most things in order to get my stoopid breastickles to make more milk. I read a lot of guff on the internet about trying this and that to get more milk and some things worked a... Continue Reading →

Today is 12th May which means it is 1 month until what should have been Eilys' 2nd Birthday. I wasn't looking forward to this anniversary at all. But her birthday was such a lovely day. We had a big party. She was surrounded by most of the people who loved her. It was a great... Continue Reading →
This year Dylan had a birthday party for his birthday, his first one ever. Anyone who knows me will know that I love organising things, especially parties! So I was in my element and true to form (I think I say that a lot...) I went a little bit OTT. I kept justifying everything with... Continue Reading →
