I realise that it may be pushing it a bit for this year, but I have been looking into Vegan/Dairy Free advent calendars for Hannah. A number of places have mentioned Kinnerton as a source for such a thing, but not mention of how to obtain one. As I contacted Kinnerton and got a response,… Read More »
Recently, we’ve been talking a lot about what sort of parents we want to be to our little boy. The first thing I know is that I want to use real nappies rather than disposables. My reasons for this are as follows: * Usual environmental argument – they take 500 years to biodegrade; every disposable… Read More »
From rob on IRC, origin unknown, try this: Go to a web page with lots of images, e.g. news.bbc.co.uk Paste the following text into your address bar and watch the magic: javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300;y5=200;DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i
It’s a boy! I know that the scan is never 100% accurate for sex determination, but I would say that it was fairly unambiguous. We had a very nice trainee sonographer, followed by a fully qualified one to double check things. The upside being that we had more time staring at our baby. I was… Read More »
My life is a series of lists at the moment. I’m trying to organise myself more effectively and keeping track of the multitude of things that need doing is making my head spin. I’ve made a [list to share](things-i-want “Things I Want for $occasion”), though.
I am frequently accused of being difficult to buy for when it comes to the various events in the year (birthday, christmas etc) that people kindly wish to buy presents for me. This is due to a complaint I suffer from whereby my brain suddenly empties itself when queried about such things. The same thing… Read More »
Well, we’ve been pretty rubbish about keeping this blog updated. Quite a lot has happened in the last 6 weeks: I’ve got antenatal depression (whoop). It’s fairly common and I was more likely to get it because I’ve suffered with depression in the past. It is rather annoying though – as if things weren’t hard… Read More »
We finally had our 12 week scan yesterday. We duly rolled into the waiting room for our 14.30 appointment and Hannah started drinking some water to make sure her bladder was full (as directed). We waited for over half an hour and nothing had happened, and Hannah’s bladder was very much making itself known. Eventually,… Read More »
FYI hyperemesis is no fun! It is basically an extreme form of morning sickness affecting (depending on what you read) about 3/1000 pregnant women. Last week I had to go to hospital because I couldn’t even keep a glass of water down and had lost 6lbs in 5 days. Thankfully things are a lot better… Read More »
Having tried the suggestion several people made – to eat a banana to calm my morning sickness, I can tell you it really doesn’t work. After seeing it on the way back up all over me, the kitchen floor and in the washing up bowl (which was full of water- yuck!), I can safely say… Read More »
