Well, HE arrived! At 41 weeks gestation exactly our son arrived. A baby brother to 3 very excited big sisters. We decided to call him James, but Jimmy suits him well. Who of you guessed the gender correctly? My tightening’s started as niggles at 2pm on Saturday 30th of September as we were sat in …
I’m ‘over-due’, a phase I use loosely. 5 days ‘over-due’ and things are starting to get a little crap. Not so much with the pregnancy but the public property my cervix has become. Did you know that a pregnancy is considered term from anywhere between 37 weeks and 42 weeks gestation? That’s a whole 5 …
Our 4th baby is due in just over 4 weeks. Not long at wait at all, but these last few weeks I have been really struggling with Braxton hicks contractions. Some so strong, that I have even had trips up to the hospital just to make sure that they are not the real deal. What …

First of all, apologies for how long it has taken to finally get this post written! So much has been going on. We’ve been to The Baby Show in Birmingham, I’ve not been too well with my legs again, it’s been the school holidays and we have been making the most of the lovely weather …
