With Henry’s 2nd birthday just one week away, I thought I’d quickly capture his development over the last month before his big day. It is amazing to see him constantly evolving and learning, and it is with awe that I watch him each day, as he learns new things and finds joy in his latest abilities. I love the toddler stage – witnessing our little boy become his own person and discovering…
Pregnancy Update – 32 Weeks
It’s been a long time since my last pregnancy update. Life is busy with an energetic toddler, which leaves little time to do much else. This pregnancy has flown by and I still can’t quite believe that I’ll be giving birth soon. I’ve slowly been adding to the nursery, I love sitting in there and looking at all the beautiful items we’ve collected for our baby girl. We just need…
Henry at 21 Months
Character: Henry is a loving and kind hearted little boy. He loves cuddles and is very caring with both toys and other children. He’s such a well behaved child at playgroup, waiting patiently for his turn and sharing with others. He loves to immerse himself in play and gets lost in a world of imagination with his cars and trains. He truly is a delight to be around and brings…
Pregnancy Update – 23 Weeks
How far along? 23 weeks + 2 Total weight gain/measurements: After losing almost a stone due to severe nausea and sickness in the first trimester, my weight remained static for another 2 months, but I’ve now finally started gaining and I’ve returned to my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s a relief to be gaining again as I enjoy getting bigger in pregnancy. I remember how breastfeeding made the weight fall off and I…
Baby Girl Nursery Wishlist
I love browsing Pinterest and Instagram for nursery decor inspiration, even when I’m not pregnant, so once we found out I’m carrying a baby girl, I was even more excited to look through the hundreds of beautiful interiors and plan how I’d like our nursery to look. My vision is something whimsical and fresh – white and pink with touches of gold in the accessories. There are so many pretty…
Strollin’ with the Stokke Scoot
Stokke is well renowned for their innovative designs and well-made pieces, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to try out the Stokke Scoot – the ideal compact solution for a smooth ride around the city and for travelling. Although the Bugaboo Cameleon has served us well, now that Henry is older I wanted something a little easier to get out and about with, that didn’t require taking…
Baby’s Gender Reveal
This past week, we had the all important anatomy scan, where we anxiously entered the darkened room and hoped that all was well with our baby. Thankfully, it was, and we breathed a sigh of relief to know our little one was growing and developing as it should. And then, it was time to discover the gender. I’ve never hesitated when deciding whether or not to find out the sex…
The First Trimester
With this being my third pregnancy, I thought I’d be well versed in what to expect. But I soon learnt that each pregnancy is very different. With the twins, I breezed through the first trimester, having a few food aversions and very little nausea. With Henry, I experienced a little more nausea, but it was manageable and I could still eat a variety of foods. I never actually got physically…
Growing Our Family
I’ve already announced my pregnancy on Instagram a few weeks ago (thank you for all the kind words and lovely comments), but I thought I’d make it official on my blog too. I am blessed to be 19 weeks pregnant with our fourth child – my third pregnancy and what we hope will be our second living child, due to join us in November. We found out about our tiny…
Henry at 19 Months
Henry has developed so much since we arrived in the US. He is learning so many new things each day that it’s hard to keep up, and his baby days are now long behind him. He is such a loving and patient child – so gentle and caring of those around him, and his bubbling enthusiasm and joy for life is infectious. He is just such a happy little boy,…
