Showering a baby with cakes

No, I’m not actually going to be showering my baby with cakes, just thought I would try and get your attention! (Although I’m sure he would smell very yummy afterwards! Teehee!)  What I actually mean is, I’m currently planning my baby shower, just two weeks to go now and I’m very excited! Fun games are planned, with prizes for the winners; nibbles and cake will also be involved! A perfect girly night in – chit chat, cake and babies! And that’s where the cake part comes in… I’m going to be making & selling cakes for the Cake A Difference charity event …

33 weeks

Sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL since Wednesday, didn’t realise it was that long! So anyway, I was 33 weeks pregnant on Sunday, that’s just another 7 weeks to go… We are practically all sorted for his arrival now, just awaiting on his wheels getting here, hopefully sometime this week! Yesterday I was continuing with packing my hospital bag, which made it seem all the more real too… We have his coming home outfit, apart from his hat which mother-in-law is just finishing off knitting, I will post a photo when it’s done, going to be a cracker! Last night …

The Circle Of Life

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. I had a few white blood cells in my urine sample though, but she that could be that a bit of CM had dropped in (yuk!). Talking of doing the …
