a month to go…
Baby: The baby is doing very well. The doctors have pretty much ruled out anaemia now and I only have one more scan before D-Day. Or should I say B-Day! Ultrasound shows the baby has lovely chunky thighs. We got some excellent views of the baby ‘breathing,’ and it is comforting to know that if […]
Magic of the Faraway Tree
My father read these Enid Blyton books to me when I was a young girl and now I am reading “Magic of the Faraway Tree” to Georgia. She loves it a lot. I am so pleased that she is enjoying the lovely book about Bessie, Fanny, Jo and Dick and their adventures with Saucepan Man, […]
All is great on baby-front!
We went for another check-up (31 weeks) at the High Risk Clinic (the third week in a row) and this week was much more pleasing. Whereas the baby’s anaemia levels have been up a bit recently, today they were perfect. I’m really happy about this, as you can imagine. We talked a bit about what […]

I like going for the regular ultrasounds. It’s interesting seeing the development of the baby, such as the brain getting bigger in the skull, and more brainy looking. Baby is looking rather roly-poly and cute, with chunky thighs and a round tummy. I can’t wait to hold that little baby in my arms. The lips are full […]
Family News

We have organised his home office a bit more and he is settled there, where he works full-time. An influx of work at this time, just before I go on leave, is convenient, but things are very […]
26 weeks
The last week of the 2nd trimester – just a few days to go and I’ll well and truly be in the ‘huffnpuff’ stage. The second trimester is my favourite part of pregnancy. Usually, I am not too big and not too sick, and have more energy to do stuff. The last few weeks, however, […]
July is birthday month!
Matthew and I celebrated our birthdays recently. We had fun. My birthday morning I had a good birthday. It was quiet. I woke up and got given breakfast in bed and some presents. One particular present is rather awesome, actually, so I felt very lucky and spoilt! I had a good day at work. We […]
Sunshine and scones like summer
Last weekend it was 11 degrees outside at lunchtime. However, it was a beautiful sunny day and we decided to make some cheese scones for our lunch. The recipe is easy (we doubled it so we had – errr – leftovers). 50g butter 2 cups SRF a bit of baking powder 200ml milk 1/2 cup […]
