Eek, another Monday means another step nearer my due date! I am not feeling ready at all but then I think once the baby is here I’ll probably forget all about being pregnant. I am feeling very Incredibly Hulk-like. None of my clothes fit over the bump and today I had to give in and…

Blakeney
We had a couple of days away in Blakeney, Norfolk, before we become a three. The hotel was lovely and we got lots of fresh sea air exploring Cromer, then Holt and even fitting in a castle and a geocache. I’m really feeling the 33 weeks now though, tearful for the first time too, over…
Orla Kiely changing bag
Look at this beauty! A changing bag from my favourite handbag designer Orla Kiely. I saw it in John Lewis a couple of weeks ago and promised myself I would treat myself to it. But now the time has come to buy the last few bits and pieces I just can’t bring myself to pay…

WIN tickets to the Baby Show

Ideas for Valentines Day
Whilst browsing the web tonight I found this lovely card which sums up what I would love to receive from my husband this year. Since he bought his iphone it is barely out of his hand, that’s if he’s not on the laptop. I was trying to get him to discuss our birth plan this…
Baby names
We’re struggling to choose a name for our little one. We picked a few but made the mistake of telling my mum who promptly told everyone. There are some things you want to keep to yourself which is why I’ve decided to keep any future name choices to ourselves until the baby is actually here….
