Last night we decided to give Tristan the opportunity to try and sleep without a nappy, and he rocked it! When he started at school this year, being the youngest in his class by a few months, he was still wearing nappies all the time. As many of the other children in his class started … Continue reading No more nappies!
Moving Tristan back into his own room
Tristan's been sleeping in bed with me for around a year now, he'll be 3 in December and I felt it was time for him to move back to his own room before his birthday. To be honest I felt mixed emotions about it. I absolutely love having him sleep next to me and the … Continue reading Moving Tristan back into his own room
Weighless
Today marks the end of day 2 of my weighless journey. I decided, after chatting to a friend, that Weighless sounded like a good option to help me lose some of this weight. In my last post about my ah-ha moment, I spoke about (finally) understanding that, in order for things to change I had … Continue reading Weighless
My ah-ha moment
Tristan is not well at the moment - he's been vomiting since Sunday afternoon, his body is hot to the touch but no temp and has a cough which makes him vomit more! So for the last 2 nights I've been awake a lot and last night while lying here around 3am I had my … Continue reading My ah-ha moment
My mum tum
My mom bod is not what I dreamed & hoped it would be. Every day on social media & in life I am faced with 3 main types of mums. Those that naturally bounced back to their former shape & size, those that have worked really hard to get back their pre-baby bodies (and sometimes … Continue reading My mum tum
My anxieties
I decided not to take the clomid again. I'm waiting for an appointment confirmation with my psychologist. My mental health & wellbeing is more important and this whole situation is driving me dilly. But I've got real concerns about having a second baby and it appears I'm not alone. I did some googling last night … Continue reading My anxieties
I want a job
I left formal employment in Feb 2013. I got engaged in the June or July and married in March 2014. When I returned from our honeymoon I set up & started working on Southey Travel whilst at the same time planning the move to our current home. In 2015 we fell pregnant with Tristan so … Continue reading I want a job
Pregnancy, lack thereof, secondary infertility and wellbeing
Here I sit, day 28 of my cycle that's also day 1. It was day 28 until about 4:00pm, then it became day 1. I'm sad. I'm heartsore. I feel like a failure. But I know it's not my fault. It is just how trying to conceive goes. It's not as easy as we all … Continue reading Pregnancy, lack thereof, secondary infertility and wellbeing
The pegasus homeopathic series. Part 2
In part 1 I discussed the remedies I used and loved when Tristan was a baby; in this post I want to cover some of the remedies I've used as an adult in this pegasus homeopathic series. Funnily enough, just last week I got a spider (I think it was a spider at least) bite on … Continue reading The pegasus homeopathic series. Part 2
Toddler behaviour
I'm really not sure how to start this, but Tristan has been getting more and more stubborn as the days & weeks pass us by. Maybe it's him just trying to express his need to make decisions himself, or it's a battle of our wills, but whatever it is it's starting to drive my dilly! Toddler … Continue reading Toddler behaviour
