>Weights and measures

My girls are turning out to be so very different.

Yesterday, just for fun, we had both of them weighed to mark Toddlergirl being 2 and Babygirl hitting 6 months.

Toddlergirl was eventually coaxed onto the scales and stood still for long enough to be ranked in the 91st centile, whilst Babygirl, despite [...]

>How do you help with nightmares?

Tweet

>

I’ve always had very vivid dreams – when I’m deeply upset about something I end up in the same incredibly real, incredibly scary, incredibly worrying dream.  Its horrid and I would’t wish it on anyone.

We’ve realised recently that, in addition to her occaisional sleepwalking, Toddlergirl has nightmares – she’s asleep but calling [...]

>Mothering Sunday – what a difference a year makes

Tweet

>Last Mothering Sunday was remarkable because I spent my first ever night in hospital, hooked up to a drip being rehydrated after my hyperemesis got out of hand. And in all the excitement I didn’t even get a card. Which was understandable but given I was I’m hospital because of a pregnancy I thought [...]

>A letter to my daughters – why I am going back to work

Cooking fun with Toddlergirl – do try this at home!

Toddlergirl and I had lots of fun making pizza for lunch at the weekend. The recipe is from Economy Gastronomy which is my new favourite cookbook and this was our attempt to replace our trips out for pizza with something tasty at home.

The dough needs to be made a bit in advance so [...]

>Bonding with your baby, sometimes it isn’t immediate & instinctive

Tweet

>I read all the books before I had Toddlergirl and read about how when she was born I would feel this sudden surge of love for her. I’d been shocked when I’d ended up in gynae A&E with bleeding at 18 weeks to discover how attached I was to this ‘thing’ but had spent [...]

I admit it, I have a high maintenance baby and there are times when I really can’t cope

Tweet

Babygirl really needed to be a firstborn baby and not a second – she just isn’t cut out for a life where there is already one child in the family. In short, she is high maintenance, incredibly full on, monumentally demanding and yes, this is beginning to really wear me down. There are times [...]

>Goodbye 2009, my annus fairly horribilis

Tweet

>I am not exactly going to wave 2009 goodbye with a tinge of anything other than thankfulness that it is over. This has NOT been a good year for me and I am very much looking forward to 2010 being an awful lot better. That said I did start 2009 thinking it would be [...]
