…has anyone told the baby? Spend these last weeks and days connecting with your baby. It is a precious time. Write in your journal and rest. Enjoy it. Annnnnnnnd, no. That's not happening. I love the idea of it. And perhaps during my first pregnancy, I even did it. But the truth is, this time around, […]
PREGNANCY, BIRTH & BREASTFEEDING
Tune in, drop out
Disconnected from people. Hyper-aware of things. I am in the strangest place. This morning, the sun is shining but the early hour lends to the day a crispness that feels heavenly on my skin. I walk towards the hospital, once again, but this time, I feel energised. My stuffy nose seems to be cured by […]
Too much of a good thing

I think you will agree, they are not your standard maternity pics. I've been joking on Facebook about showing […]
Little Mumma Tales: Three Days
Thursday I was at the beautician requesting a Brazilian that wasn't really a Brazilian but rather was the neatness of a Brazilian mixed with the modesty of a 1970s muff. It was important to get the balance right. "Just nothing porno," I said and she nodded like she knew exactly what I was on about. […]
