Me, The Man & The Baby

Wanted.. Your Votes!

But only if you’re willing to give them, by willing I mean I’m going to lure you in with the temptation of baby cuddles & that newborn smell. I wasn’t going to write this post as I thought it’s much nicer to know people vote for you without being prompted. But then I have friends […]

Reviews

Sage – The Multi Cooker

We were asked if we wanted to review Heston Blumenthal’s Multi Cooker, one of his new products for the Sage range. Of course being huge fans of Heston and his food, we were more then happy to give his Multi Cooker a whirl. First impressions are important of course and I was impressed with the […]

Playmobil Police Station

We got sent the City Action Police Station from Playmobil to review and naturally like all Playmobil products that enter our house, it’s been a big hit and hugely enjoyed by both the boys. The excitement for us starts the moment the boy’s recgonise that box and logo. Just look at those excited faces, imagine […]

The Smart Trike & Go 5-in-1

The 1 year was sent the most fabulous set of wheels from the guys at Smart Trike to review, it wasn’t just a trike but it just happened to be a 5-in-1 smart trike which benefit the both of us. I dont know if you’ve noticed but once they hit 1 and find their little […]

National Baking Week With Aldi

To celebrate National Baking Week the guys at Aldi sent us a box full of baking ingredients so that we could put together some baked treats of our own. Now the boy has had a busy week at school so we got together yesterday to do some backing together. Now I gave him free reign […]

The Cosatto Supa Pushchair – Cuddle Monster

We’ve been giving the Cosatto Supa Pushchair a try over the last few months so that we could give some honest feedback and review on what we thought about it right here on the blog. I gave you a teaser back in June when I posted about putting it together and taking it out for […]

The New Sonny Angel Flower Series

So the kids have the stuff they collect right? Pokemon figures, cars and the never ending collections of Lego sets which my feet often fall victim too. Well I have my own kind of collection, and they just happen to be small dolls. Dolls called Sonny Angel’s. They are a Japanese collectable brand which arrived […]

Mum Kind

Mum Kind have become my new best friends after seeing my tweets about my horrendous morning sickness and the way I was feeling, and offering to send me some of their products to try out. Now I remember seeing Mum Kind at the last Baby Show I visited but really didn’t pay them much attention, […]

The Stokke MyCarrier

We got sent a Stokke MyCarrier to review just over a year ago, in a year we’ve taken it many places and tried out all it’s different positions. After a year we feel we’re more then able to give a honest account of our year with the Stokke MyCarrier. I believe in giving products a […]

Silver Cross Surf 2 Different Combinations

Introducing The New Silver Cross Surf 2

You know what can make a company really stand out from the others? It’s one which listens to customer’s feedback and act upon it. That definitely makes me smile when it comes to prams and hearing that they’ve took the original model and made improvements to benefit us as pram users. Silver Cross are introducing […]

Induce Me? No Way!

So I guess I last left my blog with my letter ‘Dear Baby Girl‘ where I mentioned that the consultant had wanted me to be induced asap because of her size from the last growth scan. Despite it still be under the line, I was still happy with the growth and I knew all was […]

Dear Baby Girl

Today they want to evict you from your nice cosy womb, we’re not ready for this, I’m not ready and I know you’re definitely not ready. So we may be ready on the outside in the physical world, as I lay here at 3am writing this, I have your moses basket set up next to […]

37 Weeks

Woke up at 7am Wednesday morning craving watermelon, yeah that’s a new one for us. I’m happy to report that come lunchtime, the man had satisfied this carving and I had one watermelon waiting for me. The kids were just as pleased about this craving and helped me demolish it. In between watermelon consumption, we […]

False Labour?

Who knows? Yesterday I experienced some more Braxton Hicks, and I woke with these again at 6am this morning. My tummy feels so tight and with each BH that comes about it’s becoming more uncomfortable. I feel like her head has dropped down even more and I’m feeling pain in my groin area. It’s really […]

Consuming Alcohol Whilst Pregnant Could Become A Crime

Like really? If you knew it was illegal to drink because your current state was of one ‘with child’ would it really stop you from reaching for that glass of wine? Current news headlines about pregnancy and alcohol is calling for it to become a crime. Campaigners are apparently a step closer to making it […]

Water Isn’t My Choice Of Pain Relief But I’ll Tell You What Is…

It’s funny that the moment you mention to anyone you’re having a Homebirth, they instantly think you’re going to be giving birth in a pool in water. See for me I’m not really fan of water, I dont overly find it to be a great source of relief for my aches and pains. I remember […]

36 Weeks

I saw in 36 weeks with the most vivid of nightmares which seems to be a trend now if I wake in the early hours for the toilet. I’ll try to go back to sleep only to wake up again not long afterwards with the most vivid nightmare, I find myself having to switch on […]

The One Where I Go Against The Consultant

So here we were two weeks after our first Growth Scan, the one which I hoped would be our only growth scan before being signed off from consultant led care. That wasn’t to be the case as they were unhappy with her growth and wanted to keep an eye on it to see what was […]

Desert Island Discs

As I sit listening to my favourite songs on YouTube I gave a thought to the songs that mean the most to me for my Desert Island Discs post. Those ones which trigger a memory or have a special meaning and would be the ones I would happily listen to over and over again. If […]

35 Weeks

35 Weeks felt weird when it felt like it was only yesterday that I was 25 Weeks, how could 10 Weeks just pass by so quickly? Crazy. In a couple of weeks I’ll be considered full term with those 40 Weeks just behind it. Oh how it continues to feel more real each week. Cakes […]

The Doppler Scan

So further on from our growth scan, this weeks plan was to have a Doppler scan done as growth scans can only be done every couple of weeks. Because of it only being arranged last week we couldn’t have it at our local hospital, so had to go to the main hospital out of town. […]
