As I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts from earlier this month, my Nan died a couple of days after Christmas. It was an absolutely heartbreaking time for the whole family, but she is now out of pain, and happy I hope, happier than she has been in a long time. Of course I was extremely upset and it was, still is, painful, and I still can’t believe she’s gone. But, I said to myself, and to my husband, it’s just the circle of life – she was obviously making room for our little man (and my cousin’s, …
32 weeks (and a bump pic)
Sunday was the 32 week mark for me, my goodness how it’s flying in! 8 weeks (supposedly…) to go. We got our cotbed over the weekend which BIL very kindly bought for us from a friend, it’s a discontinued one, but it’s the Dorchester by Cosatto, and we very much love it. Husband assembled it yesterday and then we had a few moments just standing looking at it, and yes, I cried! Just imagining our little boy in there in a few months made me quite emotional. We’ve decided on a theme for his room too, which is ‘cute’ cars, …
31 week midwife appointment
On Tuesday I had my routine 31 week appointment with the midwife. Was slightly worried at first as they were asking each other if my blood results were back! Luckily they were found in the end, they just hadn’t got them out, phew! Well my bloods were fine. My BP is also still fine, and no more bloods taken this time, I think that will be at the next one.

31 weeks
So, only another 9 of these to write after this one… Well, that’s if I get that far! 31 weeks and I’m seeming to find more to blog about now, and to panic about! Though I must admit I am more organised than I thought I might be, mainly with the help of lists. Lots of them. It really is rolling in! So, as the above says, I’m on a slow-but-steady train to whale town… Umm, in fact this is incorrect, I’m actually already there. I have to take a pause in bed as I roll over. I have to …
A year of blogging
It has been just over a year since I made my first blog post – 5th January 2011. In that year I’ve had many ups & downs, most of them recorded on here and I’m thankful to my readers and friends for being there to support me through it, and for supporting my blog. I hope to get a few more this year. If it wasn’t for Kylie over at Not Even a Bag of Sugar, I’m not sure I would have ever started blogging – I would probably have just continued releasing all my stresses to her – which I …
