The fourth trimester is a real thing...what are my tips to survive?

Lets talk about tongue tie

February 6, 2019January 31, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I was lucky and was able to feed Wriggler from the beginning. I did make use of my midwife at the five-day check, and also a local breastfeeding clinic when I was worried a few days later and both support systems were amazing in my experience. With Fidget, he was a champ from day one … Continue reading Lets talk about tongue tie

Breastfeeding

January 31, 2019January 30, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Working out how to feed your new-born is one of the most emotionally-charged and hardest decisions, right after writing down your 20-step perfect birth plan. And we know how birth plans work out don’t we?! Sometimes feeding can be like that too… We have that image of rocking our baby in our arms, feeding them … Continue reading Breastfeeding

The first six weeks

January 18, 2019January 17, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

We survived the first six weeks!! I mean, that is a massive milestone. At the end of those weeks you see the Dr, make sure that you are both doing ok and then get sorted for those all-important first vaccinations. Somehow those 42 days pass in the blink of an eye and your baby is … Continue reading The first six weeks

November 21, 2018May 9, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

The best laid plans eh…we have this wonderful vision of introducing the baby to the new big brother or sister, but as like most things with kids, it never works out that way. Saying that, there are some really simple things that you can do that can help you get as close to your vision … Continue reading The big introduction – top three tips

My final birth experience

November 14, 2018November 12, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ 1 Comment

It is amazing how every birth is so different - and this time was no exception. I was fully packed and prepared for the waiting, the not remembering quite how much it hurts and that I would end up in theatre again. So yes, this time there was a lot of waiting. I was admitted … Continue reading My final birth experience

Introducing…

Hi! I'm finally feeling like I am coming out of the new baby haze that happens with a newborn and getting back into writing... So, it is time to introduce the newest member of my family - Squish. She made her entrance in September, a few days after my last post and was a total … Continue reading Introducing…

The last few weeks of my last pregnancy

September 16, 2018September 15, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

It is so strange to be sitting here feeling this little one move and know that I will be meeting them soon. This pregnancy has been amazing - no emergency hospital trips in the first 16 weeks. No middle of the night stresses in the second trimester. No heart burn until  36 weeks! It was … Continue reading The last few weeks of my last pregnancy

Potty training

July 9, 2018July 9, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I am starting to think about potting training again. I can tell that Fidget is getting ready to make this big boy step…and I want to help make it a smooth adjustment for him. I got lucky with Wriggler – he showed signs from about two years old, but actually neither of us were really … Continue reading Potty training

How to talk about pregnancy with siblings

July 2, 2018June 24, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

We introduced Wriggler to the idea of becoming a big brother by taking him to our 12-week ultrasound. We had an ultrasound at eight weeks and were confident that things were ok, nonetheless we did get the sonographer to check me over before letting the new big brother in to see what on earth was … Continue reading How to talk about pregnancy with siblings
