This morning I’m feeling a bit more like myself and so glad to be up and about, out of the hospital gown and disconnnected from tubes and things. Yesterday was such a special day and the most relaxed and easiest of my births. I’m going to write about it when I’ve had a bit more […]

If you’ve been on facebook then you’ll know we are a house full of sick little people. Fevers, runny noses, coughs and now elodie has an ear infection which caused a convulsion and meant I was watching over her like a hawk yesterday. Needless to say there has been a lot of sitting on the […]

I will never forget when I was pregnant with keira and we were attending our antenatal classes at the hospital. They showed a video on a c/section and I was just sitting there thinking why would anyone want this, oh this is terrible, not me, so glad I won’t be having one. But anyone who has […]
