Week nine – she sleeps!

Categories All, First time mom
Pebbles on a beach

Well, I’m not going to lie – I am feeling quite smug. I feel like I’m nailing motherhood (haha, I know, pride comes before a fall and all that) or at least getting to grips with it a bit more. Everyone says it gets easier after six to eight weeks, and at the moment I…Continue Reading “Week nine – she sleeps!” →

Week eight – finding a routine

Categories All, First time mom

I can’t believe eight weeks have passed since Baby R entered the world. I’d like to say the previous week has got easier since my ‘On the turn’ post from week seven. And I suppose, in a way, it has. Baby R is definitely managing more naps in the day, albeit short ones. But a…Continue Reading “Week eight – finding a routine” →

Week seven – on the turn?

Categories All, First time mom

Looking back on week six, with Ruby now a seven week year-old, I feel like we’re slowly turning a corner. Don’t get me wrong: this week has been super tough (like last week and all the weeks before!) and included one of her worst night’s sleep to date. For at least a couple of days,…Continue Reading “Week seven – on the turn?” →

The six-week milestone

Six fondant fancies

Baby R is now six weeks’ old. Week five has just gone by in a blur and I don’t quite know where the time is going. Days merge into one another and I have no concept of what day it is or what’s going on in the world.  My life comprises my house, the bed,…Continue Reading “The six-week milestone” →

Five weeks in – a week of firsts

Five beach huts

Baby R is five weeks old today, and looking back on week four, I realise it’s been a week of firsts. There have been the typical highs (first smiles) and lows (in particular, R waking up at 1:45am and not properly going to sleep until the following night), but it feels like we’ve made more…Continue Reading “Five weeks in – a week of firsts” →

Today is Baby R’s four week birthday – our one month newborn baby 🙂 – and what a four weeks it’s been.  The ongoing breastfeeding saga This week in particularly has been super tough.

Week three – it’s been emotional

Categories All, First time mom
Plate, sad face, pink background

I think I’ve had one day this week where I didn’t cry – that was a good day. The rest have either started or ended in tears, usually when my husband leaves or comes back from work. Lucky him!  I never, ever thought having a baby would be this emotional – spoiler: it is. And…Continue Reading “Week three – it’s been emotional” →

Week two of motherhood

So I’m writing this post in week three, and trying to recall how week two has been. The time has flashed by in a total blur. I’m not going to lie – it’s been really tough. The main thing that’s happened is finding out R had lost more weight beyond what was considered OK. I…Continue Reading “Week two of motherhood” →

New mommy diaries – week one

Categories All, First time mom

Baby R and I came out of hospital Friday night, after she was born last Thursday evening. I was absolutely desperate to come home. Three and a half days in hospital is enough for anyone, even though the care we received was excellent. I had to go back in a taxi, separate from my husband,…Continue Reading “New mommy diaries – week one” →

Ugh, so I’ve still not gone into labour and now it’s a day and a half until my induction. How did it come to this? If it wasn’t for my husband, I would wait it out until 42 weeks but he has been badgering me to get it done, even though it’s me that’ll have…Continue Reading “41+2 – two days til induction” →

Today is the last day of my life as I know it. Aft Today is the last day of my life as I know it. After several years of unsuccessful IVF attempts, I am finally about to go into hospital to have our baby. I can’t believe it. Literally, I won’t believe it until she’s in my arms and breathing. I’d rather I wasn’t going to be induced, but at 41+4, it’s probably the best thing. I’m scared and what’s worse is my husband not being able to be there until active birth because of Covid-19... but it’ll be OK, I hope. I’ll see you on the other side.
