Both my babies are poorly with colds. Not fun :(

E's currently napping, but there's an absolute racket going on outside where about 6 people seem to be mowing the grass at once, so not counting on *that* lasting much longer ( Read more... )

Kids are so funny ( Read more... )

One day I'll actually get around to posting the interesting stuff we have going on - don't think that'll be today though ( Read more... )

Meh. E had a reaction to the thrush medication, so we're back to square one again. Rash all up her chest and her nappy area a total mess. Not. Fun.

On the plus side, good thing I've been doing my pelvic floor exercises, eh?!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry. I amuse myself FAR too much. Blame the hormones. Or something.) 

Just been comparing the free pregnancy guide supplied by the NHS from when I was pregnant with E and the one I got on Monday when we went for the scan. (Everything fine by the way, though baby didn't want to co-operate, and we still don't know who we have in there!) The difference in the treatment of home birth as an option really struck me - have ( Read more... )
