Written on Wednesday... Today I am 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. This pregnancy has been split into 3 clear-cut chunks. The first 11 weeks were so difficult. Filled with anxiety, no sleep and worry.

This last week and a bit has been sort of hellish for me. I have been trying really hard to be positive because I don't want to be the whinging pregnant lady. I am so grateful to be pregnant, I know how lucky I am that this baby is free from Spinal Muscular Atrophy so... Continue Reading →

I ran around town grabbing bits and bobs that we needed and then called my hairdresser to cancel my appointment the following week. My Mummy-in-law... Continue Reading →
My pregnancy with Dylan was straightforward and I was considered low risk and part of the reason why I lost weight between babies was that I didn't want to be classed as high risk due to my weight.
