As you might have read, I joined Slimming World last week. I was excited yet a little bit nervous as I’ve always weighed in the privacy of my own home before and had a quick hop on the scales during the week! I’m determined not to do that though as obviously our scales will be different. Also I’ve never really been on a plan before, just did my own thing with calorie counting. When I started looking through my pack, I must admit I found it a little bit overwhelming and didn’t know where to start! I decided on writing …

{Guest post} What to Expect During the First Ultrasound
What to Expect During the First Ultrasound Taking a pregnancy test is only the beginning of what will soon be a calendar full of pregnancy-related appointments. There are initial doctor appointments to confirm the pregnancy and get mama-to-be on a healthy regimen for optimal prenatal care. There are appointments with relatives to share the exciting news, and parenting class appointments to get an idea of what to expect while you’re expecting. However, in this sea of scheduled dates, there is one appointment that expectant moms hold a little closer to their hearts: the first ultrasound appointment. An ultrasound is a …
My Slimming World journey begins
Earlier in the week I wrote about hoping to join a Slimming World group but my anxiety was holding me back – I only went and did it! I was really anxious in the days leading up to going but I eventually found myself a real life partner instead of just online support. When it came to going, I was more nervous about walking there and being mugged or kidnapped or something on the way! (I don’t live in the greatest neighbourhood). There’s the anxiety again for you. Anyway, once I arrived at the location it is held at, I …
Little man N’s development check (and a health visitor rant)
Yesterday we had N’s 9-12 month development check. I’m sure J didn’t have his until he was around one year, but never mind. Being a first time Mum with J, I took everything as gospel and was in a rush for him to do everything, but with N I have been much more relaxed and just got on with it (and let him get on with it) as I know each individual baby/child develops at their own rate and just because they don’t keep up with their peers, or conform to some chart, it doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything …
Little man N at 10 months old
Ten months old. My youngest baby will be turning one this year! In less than two months! (And then for another 18 days I will be a Mummy of two under three). He’ll not be a baby for much longer – heck, it feels like he’s outgrown the baby stage already, sometimes. He hasn’t been weighed since the last time but I’m not too worried. He has his ‘health check’ soon anyway so we’ll find out soon anyway. I can’t imagine he will have gained an awful lot though as he never stops moving and is a proper speed crawler! He’s still …
