I Think We May Have Picked A Cot…

This one. I still want to look closer at Mamas and Papas and Mothercare, but that Ikea one is very sturdy and the price is right! We are also going to buy one of their changing mats and double sided tape it to the top of the bureau we already have, rather than buy a [...]

People and My Bump

I may name a book that. Anyway, it is interesting to see the different looks you get when people see you are pregnant. Little old ladies smile indulgently. So do little old men. Young working type women look a bit horrified.  But not as horrified as their male counter parts.  You can almost see them [...]

Ouch! Must Learn How to Walk…

so I was coming home from work tonight and tripped over a curb.  I appear to have landed on my right knee, arm and breast, as those are what hurt.  I apparently did not land on my bump, as it doesn’t hurt.  I think the baby just got shook up a bit, as it has [...]

This is A Rant…

I’m warning you now. So I belong to Mumsnet.  Its exactly what it says on the tin, a network of Mums, on the internet, in the UK.

I Am Really Annoyed

I am tired.  I have been saying how tired I am and how I can’t wait for the baby to be here. To which my supposed friends keep laughing at because ‘just wait until the baby is here.’ I am not stupid.  I know I will be even more tired when the baby is here. [...]
