This Mother's day I was a Mum to 2 gorgeous girls! Initially I didn't have any plans as Hallie is only just 6 weeks old, and Charlotte is in the middle of dropping a nap/figuring out the most effective way to throw tantrums. Easiest option was to stay home. My sister was visiting however and [...]
What an insane month it has been. I gave birth to my second daughter, Hallie, on March 31st at 5:58am. Backtracking to midnight, I woke up feeling a bit off, a few cramps, nothing too odd. Braxton Hicks are common in pregnancy, and I had been getting them for a while - having them at [...]
March has been a crazy busy month in terms of dates and events. I say events, but most of it I haven't had to go anywhere, simply planning on odd purchases and schedules throughout the day. Let's backtrack together; 3rd/4th March - I had my GP/Obstetrician appointment. A surprisingly difficult task with an almost one [...]
I love daycare. We love daycare. Referred to affectionately as "play day", I've slowly upped Charlotte's attendance days to 3 a week (Charlotte is my 10 1/2 month old baby girl). The reason we love it so so much is because they feed her a variety of different foods, they encourage her to drink more [...]
I gave birth to my little girl, Charlotte, on March 11th. While she was due on March 20th, she came early (much to my relief)! Warning: I talk about some things that may gross you out so if you're not comfortable with bodily functions, turn back now. Friday 2pm - In the super early stages, [...]
And the final trimester finally arrived! Of course, I still had months to go and stuff to get done. But in this time frame I would start maternity leave, finish gathering all the things I thought I would need, have a baby shower, and start taking the whole birth thing more seriously. I had maternity [...]
I was throwing up up until 17 weeks so at this stage I was still feeling pretty rubbish. Before pregnancy I was under the impression that you would only be sick in the first trimester, boy oh boy was I wrong. Annoyingly, and gladly, I got so used to being sick that by the time [...]
I've given birth to my little one now (yay!) and having gone through 9 months of pregnancy, birth, and now one month out the other end, I think I can safely say damn, that was a weird year. To immortalise (and mostly so if I do this again I can remember accurately) my entire experience, [...]
