The ‘Berry’ Pregnancy Diaries – week 39

Wednesday 19th February – 39w One week until D-Day… And I’ve been asked today if I’ve had the baby yet! The answer is… I’ve also been told I look like I’m ready to explode! Yeah, I feel it too!  Thursday 20th February – 39w 1d  I’ve been getting AF type cramps on & off now since the weekend, but they never seem to be coming to anything. As far as I can remember, I had the same for the last couple of weeks before little man arrived. I’m hoping it doesn’t mean this baby is going to arrive over a week late …

Preparing for little man’s 2nd birthday

This time last year I was still busy planning for little man’s 1st birthday & party. Now I’m planning for his 2nd birthday (how did that happen?!). I’m not going as overboard this year though, for a couple of reasons.

The ‘Berry’ Pregnancy Diaries – week 38

Wednesday 12th February – 38w Two weeks to go! Once I’d taken little man to nursery this morning, I came home and crawled back into bed – I woke up again 2.5 hours later so I must have needed the sleep! I was awoken by a yucky dream though – with ants crawling all over me! Previous to that one I’d had another one where I was discussing home births with a pregnant friend, and she asked if we needed to provide bed socks for the baby? Anyway… Thursday 13th February – 38w 1d I’ve been in so much pain today with …

Transition from the cot bed

A few weeks ago we made the decision to convert little man’s cot bed into a bed (though we have only taken one side off as he will be getting a full size single when baby needs this). He hadn’t started climbing out, but we were having issues with him going to bed and his bedtime and wanted to get him into some kind of routine before baby arrives. Although if he has nap, especially late in the afternoon falling asleep in the car or something, he just will not go to sleep early no matter what! He doesn’t usually …

I love taking pictures of our little family, even though hubby usually pulls a silly face, or I can’t get a decent one of little man as he’s always on the move! I have so many photos stored on my laptop, but hardly any are on display as I never get around to getting them printed. When I was allowed to review a canvas from CanvasDesign.co.uk, I was delighted as I also love canvas prints.
