We had our first outing today (with the help of my friend Sophie) to Wood Green. I needed to prove to myself that I could make it out of the house, manage the bugaboo (in the rain if necessary!) and get on the bus. Luckily it was all fine and the baby slept the whole…

Week 2
Eeekk, the time is going sooo quickly. Here’s a picture of baby, who now has a proper name, getting ready for his bath the other evening. I’m really enjoying spending time with the baby and my husband. The last time we spent this much time together was our honeymoon in 2008! Today we all went…
Week 1
I’m not quite sure where the time has gone but I am still the proud mum of a little week old baby. The last week has been a bit of a blur, consisting of nappy changes, lots of feeds and little sleep. My little one seems to sleep happily all through the day and then…
New baby
This is our gorgeous baby boy, born last Thursday at 9.41am by elective caesarean section at 38 weeks. He weighed 8lbs 12oz!
Pincushion swap
I have been working on my pincushion for the swap hosted by Claire. I was inspired by one of my favourite craft books and got to try French knots. It’s all finished way ahead of the deadline next month which is good. I’ve decided to take a small bag of sewing in my hospital bag…
Preparations
Two days left of my old life before my new life begins. I think it’s finally sinking in and I’m glad I’ve had some time to prepare myself for the procedure and get excited about finally meeting my new baby. It takes me ages to adjust to change, I’m terrible at doing new things and…
Spring colours swap
Here’s the parcel of goodies I’ve prepared for my partner as part of the Spring colours swap on swap-bot. We had to send 5 items in green, light blue and pink colours so I’ve chosen felt squares, stickers, buttons, beads and some handmade items too. I hope she likes them! We met up with our…
External Cephalic Version
Yesterday was spent in the labour ward at the hospital having the external cephalic version or ECV. We arrived at 8.30 and finally left at 3.30 and the procedure only lasted 15 minutes! I couldn’t find much information about the technique and I’m glad I didn’t otherwise I don’t think I would have gone through…
Restless
Dare I say I’ve felt a bit bored today? I feel like I’m in limbo with no work but no baby either. I had great plans to spend these few weeks making bibs, baby quilts, taggies and nesting but a strange kind of ennui has come over me. Instead I spent the day watching terrible…
