When the time came to leave the hospital I started to panic! I had wanted to go home since I arrived but now it was actually going to happen it seemed too overwhelming! The hospital was a safe environment with people around to help and support us. The outside world seemed like such a scary place! I don’t remember feeling like this after Bob was born. We were only in hospital for a short time though and when I left [click here to read on]
When Bob was a baby I liked using baby sleeping bags. She had many different ones and they kept her warm and meant that I didn’t need to use any loose covers. I don’t think Bob had a quilt until she was about 2. I did used to wonder if her arms wold be warm enough in winter. I didn’t want to use a fleecy sleepsuit as I thought that would be too warn inside the sleep bag but a [click here to read on]
I hadn’t intended to take a long break over the holidays. I knew that I wouldn’t post anything on Christmas Day and Boxing Day but other than that I hadn’t given it much thought. Somehow I have accidentally taken 11 days off and it’s been wonderful! I have loved spending time with my little family! I have been enjoying the moments and not grabbing my camera and thinking about my next blog post. Don’t get me wrong, I love my [click here to read on]
I did not have much to drink this Christmas and New Year as I was breast feeding. My health visitor has said that an odd drink is all right but if I do have a drink I prefer to give Bow a bottle.

We would like to wish all of our family, friends and followers a very merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful time and that Father Christmas brings you everything you wish for! Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Bow is teething already! I have had my suspicions for a few weeks. His fists were constantly in his month and he was drooling. I kept saying to Michael that I thought he might be teething but I thought I must be mistaken as he was far too young. When we went for his first set of immunisations at the beginning of December the nurse gave him the oral one first. When she look in his mouth she seemed shocked [click here to read on]
For the last couple of weeks we have been reviewing Water Wipes. I first heard about these about a year ago. My goddaughter had very sensitive skin and they are the only brand of wipes that my friend could use on her. I was interested to try them and see what they were like. Water wipes are chemical free and the moisture is 99.9% water. The other 0.1% is fruit extract. I have used a pure wipe before and I [click here to read on]
