We’ve done it. We’ve taken the leap. Fair enough, Emily wasn’t exactly abseiling down the side of the cot or pulling a Bear Grylls whenever she felt like it, but our big leap day with the cot was all down to, space. It might seem barmy to most, but taking those cot sides down have…

Night terrors are relentless lately
Last night Emily had a night terror and dear god it was like summoning something from the exorcist. At first, not knowing what it was, I picked her up and Sam said put her in bed with us, which of course woke up some mini-demon and a full-blown temper tantrum followed, lasting 10 mins downstairs…
Sleep regression, when will it end?
Emily hasn’t been sleeping throughout the night now for about five weeks. What started off with a little midnight wake up for a feed has now turned into proper sleep regression, and I’m starting to lose the will to live. I had heard about sleep regression before but I always thought it was for children…
This weather is pants and it’s making us all sick
So this week is a pretty big week. This week we wave goodbye to the little digits and say hello to the big almighty 1, because Emily will be going from little baby to what the professionals class as “toddler.” But this week couldn’t just run smoothly without hiccups could it? Of course not. We’ve…
Tummy bugs can go to hell
I’ve just got over a really nasty tummy bug. Something had been brewing for the past week, and I had no idea what it was until it came to light Wednesday night after cooking a spicy dinner. Wednesday night was the night I decided to cook the Pheasant I had bought at the game store…
My postpartum make up routine is pretty much non existent
Since just before I had Emily putting on make up was a bit of a chore, I wanted to put it on to make me feel better but most of the time I just couldn’t be arsed. After Emily arrived, the ‘couldn’t be arsed’ bit has upgraded to ‘can’t be f*cked.’ Honestly I don’t have…
Emily sleeps 5-7 hours a night, I know, amazing huh?
Emily is brilliant with her night time sleeping. I mean she sleeps 5-7 hours a night. That’s brilliant and yes, I’m bragging a little. For the past week, we’ve stayed inside in the warmth rather than brace the cold outside. With this Emily has been having a bit of a growth spurt and has started…
8 Months pregnant, allow me to rant a little…
I’m in my third trimester and although there’s only 8 weeks to go, I want it to be over. I’ve been pregnant for what feels like eternity and although my little chickpea has a while yet before she’s done in my oven, I’m really keen to just get her out. This may be the tiredness…
Best sleeping positions in 3rd trimester
During pregnancy, our body goes through a shit load of changes. We experience back pain, tummy pain, heartburn, insomnia and shortness of breath, not to mention a dancing baby that can get active during the later months/weeks of pregnancy. It’s said that the third trimmest is the most sleep challenged stage of pregnancy. We experience…
When things go bump in the night
So this is my sixth night not being able to sleep and I’m bored of it. I worked today and spent most of the day on my feet and although I got in and my eyes were falling out of my head, I still struggled to get to sleep. It’s difficult and although my body…
