Over the hump

Today I’m 7 weeks. Sticky and Maybe Baby B are the size of a blueberry. It’s a big week as their ear buds begin to form, hands and feet sprout from their bodies and they are now fed through the umbilical cord. The other significance of this week is it is the week I lost Peanut.

Fabulous Friday

Happy Fabulous Friday all! What makes today fabulous? – faith, bravery and letting go.

It's pretty rare to have a moment that changes your life forever. It's even rarer to know it's one of those moments when it happens. In the past 24 hours, I've had two of those moments.

Pregnancy does not erase the past

Putting on my big girl pants

Preparing for a big week

Today I’m officially 6 weeks. Sticky is now the size of a pea. Between you and me (and pardon my lack of eloquence) I am slightly shitting myself. Not just because of the activities of the weekend, but last time, this was my last week of pregnancy. I have everything I can possibly cross crossed that this week isn’t my last too.

5 hours of terror Part II

So remember how the other day I said this pregnancy was progressing so differently because I hadn't had the cramps? Well, last night they struck and it was back to hospital I went. The only difference was this time it wasn't 5 hours of terror - it was 8!
