The exhaustion of it all
Posted on 8:18am Monday 11th August 2008
I am so tired. Not just tired like you’ve not had a great night’s sleep tired, but exhausted. Weary. Fatigued. Worn-out. Done.

No more heatwave, please
Posted on 8:47am Monday 4th August 2008
It’s funny what being pregnant does to you. As someone who was on the verge of destroying every air conditioning system ever made and the person who cleverly invented it, it came as quite a surprise to me that it has now become my friend.

A conversation starter
Posted on 11:01am Thursday 31st July 2008
Now that there is no denying that I am in the family way, myself and my pregnancy have become the chosen topic of conversation.

Time to teach a bedside manner
Posted on 8:10am Thursday 17th July 2008

Let the nursery commence
Posted on 8:04am Monday 14th July 2008
This weekend myself and my husband decided it was time to seriously consider transforming the spare room into a nursery. So, after getting some dodgy measurements for the dimensions of the room (remember to be consistent with centimetres or inches and that opposite walls should really add up to the same length) we took ourselves to look at wardrobes; stage one of the makeover process.

The bit of both baby
Posted on 9:33am Thursday 10th July 2008
Being a curious person I am so keen to know the sex of the baby, despite opting not to find out.

Wowee
Posted on 9:23am Monday 7th July 2008
Wow wow wow. This weekend played host to one of those incredible moments that I’ve been talking about and hoping to experience. I actually felt the baby kick, properly. Not little bubbles popping or butterfly motions but a big fat proper kick.

Posted on 8:35am Thursday 3rd July 2008
