It's a girl!


It happened! 

At 11:35 on Sunday 11th October 2015 Delphie November took her first breath and my heart exploded. It was such a shock to hear my husband announce we had a girl that it took me a few minutes to believe it. She had a head full of dark hair and her eyes were pools of ink that stared up at me. She was a stranger in so many ways yet when she looked at me I already felt as if we knew each other.

I've read many blogs and articles, and spoken to friends and family, curious to understand the experience of giving birth and seeing your baby for the first time. I expected the moment to be overwhelming, but really, nobody's words can prepare you. Neither would any of my words describe what was truly an indescribable experience. However, needless to say it was life changing and this little human has already brought me so much happiness.

I also confess to having developed an addiction to kissing her chubby cheeks.



We are 7 weeks on and getting into a groove after a rocky start (more on that another time).

Delphie seems a contented babe for the most part. She likes her food and when she wants it, she wants is five minutes ago. She is extremely strong, she was holding her head up fairly steady from the beginning and likes to stand on her feet, holding her own weight. 

We've just had smiles and are hearing lots of coos and gurgles.




Time goes by so fast, I'll be back to work before I know it. So I intend to appreciate every moment as much as possible. Even those 3am feeds and crying spells when she gets overtired because she is far too nosy to be sleeping.



Monday love all x

Pregnancy must-have's

I was very lucky to have had a fairly easy pregnancy, I know so many mothers-to-be struggle with pregnancy conditions and symptoms that they have no control over and can't do anything about. Hats off to them because, well, they are warriors! Even though my pregnancy was straight forward, here are some things that made it that little bit easier and I cheer about them having been invented...

Rolling on the river

Week in Summary Timeline: 34  weeks  Due date: 4th October 2015 (I've been a day out all this time!) Symptoms: It's been a mixed bag of the fun on this front, I would say to date I've had nearly every associated symptom but they have been as changeable and fleeting as the British summer weather so I don't get too bummed out before something new comes along to keep me awake Googling at 3am   surprise  me. To summarise, I've had appearances from: Tiredness Restless Leg Syndrome Itchy belly Rib pain Back ache Heartburn Excess Wind

6 month madness approaches

So people say, "It gets easier" to give us hope that the insanity of life with a young baby won't be life forever as we know it. But what happens when you haven't found life [braces]  that bad?  (please don't hate me), and the prospect of a crying, talking,  sleeping , walking, living doll* gives you sleepless nights.  Yes. I get sleepless nights from thinking about future rearing of an infant and not from real-time infant, because my angelic truffle of loveliness sleeps like the proverbial most of the time.  Ok, feel completely free to hate me. I would.
