Your birth experience sounds similar to mine. If I have another, I'll go for an elective c-section. Best of luck in your pregnancy!

I only wanted my husband, my midwife, and any necessary medical staff to be there. I wrote that in my birth preferences (not a plan!) and joked ahead of time that of all of my preferences, this wa...

Cold hands used to freak me out a little bit, but if baby's chest feels warm, then baby is warm enough. Babies sleep best when the room is cool and they're dressed warmly. I put my baby...

I found that up to three months of age, my daughter had a hard time sleeping in her bed during the day, and it would take ages for her to fall asleep again at night after a feed. At the time, I wa...

Hubby and I met when I was 26 and got married at 30. We decided to enjoy married life for a few years before having kids, and I was 33 when our daughter was born. We always planned to have two ki...

What a lovely post! No, you're not alone. I talked to my bump all the time and was so excited to meet him or her (her as it turned out!). After she was born, I was so happy to have my beaut...

Does your grocery store have a shopping list app? Sometimes when I'm on a really tight budget, I use the app to make my list at home, and it tells me how much the total shop will cost. That ...

I LOVE my Phil & Teds Navigator. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to fold and unfold. We only have one car which my hubby takes to work, so I walk everywhere with it and it ...

My baby's head was a bit flat in the early months. She's 6 months old now and in the past month or so has started rolling and playing on her tummy a lot, and I'm already noticing tha...

Hi there, please don't be hard on yourself! The simple fact that you care so much about this is proof that you're an awesome mum who's doing her best and loves her little baby! I...

I bought the Real Nappies Birth to Potty Pack and we love it. I looked at all sorts of different systems and decided on these because they dry really fast in the sun, and the fact that the nappies...

I think Hazel Elizabeth sounds really nice. The "Z" and "L" sounds and the different number of syllables seem to flow nicely together. Maybe stay away from middle names that s...

Thanks =) I forgot to mention that she recently cut her first two teeth. So much going on with this little baby at this age! It's exciting for sure. I think I'll increase the amount ...
