Since having our first kid, there’s been continual questions about whether we were going to have a second. Obviously, the missus is currently 21 weeks pregnant, so the answer to that question is “yes, yes we are”. However, the decision to have a second child hasn’t always been as definitive as it is now – […]
We’ve just got back from having a scan at the hospital and have two pieces of pregnancy news – (1) Everything is OK with the baby, and (2) the baby is a boy! Obviously fab news on both accounts and something which finally puts the last few months of worry behind us and allows us […]
We always had plans for a second kid. Obviously not everything can be planned when it comes to conceiving, but all being well, we saw ourselves with two children. As such, we’ve literally thrown nothing away from the days when Toddler L was Baby L. The assumption was that we may need it again in […]
So, last week I announced that Hay was pregnant and that we’re expecting a second sprog to be joining the clan in February 2018 – woop woop. However, I did also say that it hadn’t been an easy ride so far. I only wanted to focus on the positive in that last post, but as […]
Yup, you’ve read that correctly. We have some exciting news – the missus is pregnant! That can only mean one thing – a clichéd pregnancy announcement…although I’m not sure how clichéd it can be without photos of us making a heart on the missus’ belly with our hands, lining different sized shoes up or posing with […]
The things I’ve learnt since becoming an expectant – and then an actual – dad are staggering. Nipple confusion, anyone?! Parenting opens up an entirely different world of terms, concepts and knowledge that you don’t comprehend until you know there’s a bun in the oven. Take something like a ‘babymoon’. You may think that a babymoon happens […]
One of the major milestones to show that your tiny, little newborn is now a baby is when they leave the comfort of your bedroom to move into their own room. Obviously, when I say “leave” and “move” this is because you’ve put them in there – they’re not quite at the stage of making that decision for […]
Ah, push presents. If there’s anything as divisive when it comes to pregnancy and birth, I don’t think I’ve come across it yet…well, apart from maybe eating your own placenta. If you’ve not come across the term ‘push present’ before, then let me enlighten you. It is basically a gift that you buy your partner to mark […]
To celebrate Baby L’s ‘nine months in, nine months out’ anniversary, I thought it’d be good to look back on that eventful evening when she disembarked the mothership and share some of the things I learnt. We can just gloss over the fact that she was actually in for eight and a half months and it […]
I’ve always enjoyed capturing memories so I’ve got something to look back on. Nothing too loserish or weird like saving ketchup-stained napkins from our first date or holding on to the first condom we ever used, but more in terms of taking loads of photos of places we’ve been and things we’ve seen. This has become even […]
