On Friday, when I had put it off until I could put it off no more, we went shopping for clothes for the holiday. (See Holiday Showdown.) I wasn’t looking forward to this, as I still haven’t come to terms with my post baby body. To be honest, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I managed to get everything I needed, including some one-piece swimming costumes. I have a distant memory of wearing bikinis. Pre [click here to read on]
We thought long and hard about whether to find out the sex of our baby at the 20 week scan. To begin with we thought that it would be nice to have a surprise. To ring people and say ‘It’s a…!’ rather than ‘he/she is here’ seemed much more exciting. After a few weeks of watching One Born Every Minute we changed our minds. I watched several deliveries where they did not know the sex of their baby. By the [click here to read on]
When I stopped breastfeeding Bob (see To B Or Not To B?) and I thought that my breasts had settled down, I went to be measured for some new bras. When the lady told me my size, I could not believe it! I had gone up 3 cup sizes!!! I asked her if she thought that they would stay this way and she said that her Mum’s were still big after having her and she was 22. I purchased some new [click here to read on]
This week The Paper Mama’s Photo Challenge theme is eyes. The only thing that I can post for this is a picture of Bob’s beautiful eyes as, when I try to think outside the box, they are all I can think of!!! Pop over to The Paper Mama to see the other entries. In the meantime feel free to stare at Bob’s eyes for as long as you wish! I have been here for hours! 😉 I am also going [click here to read on]
A terrible thing happened last Tuesday! Bob managed to steal one of her favourite things! The sky remote! As I went to take it from her everything turned to black and white!!! Well on the television at least. I tried to get the colour back but nothing worked! Even my trusty technical trick of turning things off and then back on again failed me! My husband was due home so I didn’t panic, as I knew he’d be able to [click here to read on]
I knew that I was pregnant before the test did. I was at work and I was getting strange stitch like pains all over my tummy. This however wasn’t what convinced me. Before I continue I should give you a bit of background information. I worked in a Primary School in Foundation Stage 2. The lower primary team was all women but we did have a male and a female toilet. (Trust me this is relevant!) I am very odd [click here to read on]
I have been wondering whether to continue with my Can’t Beat The Classics feature. Although I enjoy researching and remembering all of the old programmes I am worried that it makes my blog a bit wishy washy, as it is not about motherhood. Please let me know your thoughts. I woke up singing this theme tune this morning so I saw that as a sign to continue, at least for one more week. It is a popular classic that, I [click here to read on]
