The fourth trimester

March 19, 2019March 18, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

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

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

The big introduction – top three tips

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

The biggest day of your life

February 28, 2018January 30, 2019 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

My last post was about getting engaged and what that all means... It came about because it was nine years since I got engaged; next month is my eighth wedding anniversary - so now my thoughts turn to where we were at all those years ago. We planned a church wedding, a big barn reception, … Continue reading The biggest day of your life

If you like it put a ring on it

February 24, 2018February 24, 2018 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Nine years ago The Mr put a ring on it - on Valentines Day actually. It wasn't  a crazy romantic proposal...I am not even sure he planned it more than a few days in advance, but to me - it was actually perfect. Admittedly, when I was younger and most certainly in the six years … Continue reading If you like it put a ring on it

Festive Cheer

December 24, 2017December 23, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

I am terrible in that I haven't actually written anything properly and then published it in ages... There are loads of excuses and reasons why and I could bore you but I wont. Honestly, I re-read some of the half-drafted posts and thought 'boring; jumping on a bandwagon; no idea what the point of that … Continue reading Festive Cheer

Rainbow Babies

October 15, 2017October 9, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ 1 Comment

A friend of mine recently confessed that they had a miscarriage earlier this year and it really hit them hard. Not just because it was unexpected (the miscarriage), but because she already has a baby so knows her body can do it. How could it let her down and betray her so? Another friend of … Continue reading Rainbow Babies

The start of a new chapter

September 18, 2017September 14, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

Wriggler has started school. Reception. Apple class...no biggie. I mean, last year (when he started Preschool) we were both wrecks, crying, snotty and desperate to see each other after a couple of hours. Fidget didn't bat an eyelid at 'Bubba' not being around... This year was a bit different. I was determined to hold it … Continue reading The start of a new chapter

Raising little people is hard!

August 21, 2017October 5, 2017 ~ littlehouseofwords ~ Leave a comment

The pressure to get it right and not pass on the 'duck-ups' from your childhood is immense and I swing between moments of 'Halleluja' I got that bit right, to 'Holy Moly...that bombed'. I cant help but reflect back on things in my childhood that weren't easy and think now how when I see similar … Continue reading Raising little people is hard!
