When we were lucky enough to fall pregnant again, I had decided that I wanted little man to know he was going to be a big brother from as early on as possible. Since we discovered I was pregnant, I’ve been telling him that he’s going to be a big brother; I know he probably won’t quite understand this concept yet, but he has been around newborn/young babies, so I’m hoping he’s going to be gentle when berry arrives.

My first fundraiser for Saying Goodbye
You may remember I blogged a few months ago that I had just signed up as a fundraising coordinator for Saying Goodbye.

I had a phone call from the midwife telling me I have a prescription to collect tomorrow for iron tablets – this is why I’ve been feeling so sleepy and tired. Hopefully I’ll start feeling a little better once I take these. Going to try some Spatone too as a few people have recommended it to me.
