Conversations with My Baby

I talk to the baby on the interior.  All the time. I tell it to hush and calm down when its kicking vigirously. I’ve given it a tour of its room. I’ve told it about its pram, which is currently in pieces in boxes. And I tell it, every day, how much its Daddy and [...]

As If Having A Baby Isn’t Grown Up Enough…

Simon and I are off to the solicitors today to have our wills made!  Not that we have tons of assets or anything, but we do want to have something in place for the baby in case, god forbid, something happens to both of us. I know some people who refuse to make a will.  [...]

Letter to My Baby – Gestational Age 36 Weeks

And So It Begins

the baby’s laundry, I mean. Just spent 45 minutes unwrapping, reading wash tags and separating in preparation for washing.  First load is in washer.

So, when the OB said ‘come back in 2 weeks and then we’ll schedule a C-section for 10 days after that’ I went into panic mode a bit. Not about the baby nearly being here, but about being ready for the baby to nearly be here! I still did not have: The Amby Hammock Sheets [...]

Well, It Finally Happened…

I had to take off my rings.  They still come off and on, but are really tight and uncomfortable.  My claadagh ring will stay in my jewelery box for the duration, my wedding and engagement rings are on the necklace I always wear.  I now clang when I walk. Bit of a eye opening moment [...]

Letter to My Baby – Gestational Age 35 Weeks

Dear Baby Well, here we are. On Maternity Leave. And not a moment too soon! Mummy is exhausted.  Even with a good nights sleep, she is tired by lunch time.  Today she has an antenatal appointment so she won’t get her nap this afternoon.  Too bad! You are still being a very active baby.  Kicking [...]

Simon Asked Me Two Questions This Week

that made me think. Knowing how much you’re not liking the 3rd trimester, do you appreciate your mum more for going through it? If you knew 7.5 months ago what you know now, would you still do this? My first response to #1 was no, I didn’t.  And then I thought about it some more [...]
