Last weekend we bathed the babies together for the first time. Arlo was three weeks old and hadn’t had a ‘proper’ bath in the tub and seeing as Athena was about to have a bath and he was happy and full of milk we decided to give it a go! So perhaps this was more… Read More
… apart from when it is really sodding difficult! The first month with two under two went something like this… Week One: Glorious. Those new baby hazy days… snuggles, feeding, having a toddler who is excited by the new baby and a husband who is on paternity leave and who prepares two cooked meals a… Read More
It’s hard to believe this little squodge is a month old! He’s certainly grown because he’s just started fitting into 0-3 month clothes as opposed to new born! He still seems like a tiny baby to me though, especially as the clothes are all baggy round the middle again! He got a cold (cheers nursery… Read More
The Fisher Price 3-in-1 Projection Mobile has been lulling us all to sleep recently… well the three of us who sleep in the same bedroom anyway! The mobile is designed to grow with your baby from birth upwards, it’s a motorised mobile that has 3 audio modes, a light projector than can be removed and… Read More
We have had a glorious hiatus from teething and all associated symptoms for a good few months now as Athena seemed to get her teeth fairly early on and we’re now just waiting on her last set of molars to appear to give her her full complement of twenty gnashers. Of course knowing my luck… Read More

Maybe she didn’t, but in all honesty in my first-time-parent panic I probably didn’t do it tight enough for fear of hurting her or she cried momentarily so I thought she hated it and I gave up. I was therefore a little sceptical when… Read More
We’re having some food related issues at the moment, partly Athena being fussy and partly me being uninspired and not knowing what I can cook/prepare to encourage her to try new things that she might like! She has a good appetite but only for certain things, and she has a really sweet tooth! I freely… Read More
Arlo’s Birth story – A natural Caesarean section. You can read why I chose to have a 2nd C section here. After having our original C-section date postponed by four days (the longest days of my life, seemingly) we arrived at hospital at 7am only to be sat waiting until half past eight to be… Read More
Meet Arlo Hayden. He arrived via a planned Cesarean section on 31st March at 2.20pm. It was as natural as a C section could have been and he is utterly adorable, sleeping lots, making snuffling noises and generally being very cuddly. He weighed 7lb 13oz, one ounce less than Athena did! Shes met him and… Read More
