Today I received an exciting parcel from Megan at Maximum Rabbit Designs who was my partner in Claire’s Pincushion Swap. Megan likes buttons, felt and all things vintage as much as I do 🙂 The parcel was beautifully contained in a round box, decorated with button stamps and plenty of space for a photograph –…

Day 33
Edward has been busy learning new tricks. These include spitting gripe water back at mummy, stretching, smiling, grabbing, coughing and scratching (unintentionally I hope!). I’m amazed how quickly he is changing and sad that my husband is missing out on these little things.Our neighbour rang up this morning to say our cat had returned. He…
Day 32
Today we had our first picnic with some friends who had come over to visit daddy in hospital. The weather has been amazing since we’ve been on the Isle of Wight and it has been lovely to get out and about everyday. This was followed by our first visit to a farm when we stopped…
Day 30
Here’s a picture of Edward looking cute in his first bib. I’m not quite sure why it has taken me four weeks to use a bib, I suppose muslins are just too easy to pick up and mop up spills. Yesterday was also the first time we wore socks and the first time we tried…
Day 28
Here we are sporting one of our new outfits bought by Grandad yesterday. As we don’t know when we’ll be able to go home we’ve registered with the local health service. Baby is now weighing in at 4940g – an increase of 970g since birth 🙂 I was discharged by the community midwife and will…
Day 27
Edward is official today as we managed to fill out a Declaration at the Register Office on the Isle of Wight. This will be forwarded to our local Register Office and we can finally get his birth certificate. We had a little shopping spree in Newport and bought some new clothes as the newborn clothes…

Grandad is still visiting so spent plenty of time with our little man. I registered with the local midwives today. I…
Still marooned
Here is the little man sporting stripes on a visit to his auntie’s house earlier this week. We’re still stuck on the Isle of Wight and my husband had a big operation today. They finally diagnosed what’s wrong with him which is a start to his eventual recovery and us going home. It is strange…
Marooned
We’ve been marooned on the Isle of Wight since Saturday when my husband became too ill to drive us back to London after Easter. Fortunately we’re staying with my mum who is kindly looking after the baby during the night so I can catch up on sleep. My husband is spending every day in bed…
