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…

Another cute baby pic
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!
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…

Things that have happened over the last few days: I watched One Born Every Minute and dreamt I was in labour all night I had an eye test which I booked last week (who knew that during pregnancy your eyes could change so actually there was no point) The optician called me heavily pregnant which I…
Bath fail
It was so cold today that I just couldn’t face coming home from work to a nice warm house, grabbing my swimming gear and heading off out to the swimming pool. Now I love my ante-natal swimming class. Over the last few weeks it’s the only time I feel comfortable. The swimming instructor is lovely…
Labour
We took the opportunity of a quiet weekend to go on a tour of the labour ward today. They run tours every Sunday at 2pm and I was anxious to familiarise myself with the hospital. All my antenatal appointments are at the hospital, even though I could attend a antenatal clinic near my house. I…
