Ten Things No One Ever Tells You About Pregnancy and Birth

Posted on June 28, 2018 21 Comments

"Things can get really weird when you are pregnant"

I’ve been pregnant five times, given birth three times and I have four kids. (Can you work out how that is possible?) I’ve had ‘morning sickness’ that lasted the entire pregnancy, and I’ve felt amazing and loved being pregnant. I’ve had a c-section and two VBACS. I’ve given birth to very premature babies, been 2+ […]

Toddler?

Posted on August 9, 2013

When do I stop calling him a toddler?

How much longer can I call him a toddler? He still has cute little toddler speech, but he’s drawing the cutest people ever.

Real Life Wednesday – Just One Photo…. Please!

hair cut photos

All I wanted was a photo of his new hair cut… I didn’t get a decent photo of his ‘big guy hair’ but now, looking at these photos, I think I captured much more than his first hair cut. Real life is magical at The Good Long Road, and randomly wonderful at The Messy Organic […]

These posts are about finding the wonderful in among all the piles of washing and and whinging. These posts are about […]

Hmmm… I wonder if it’s a nice day outside? It is! I need to go get my hat and boots! Hello Chickens! Can I come in? Any eggs today? There was one day of glorious spring weekend weather when all children were healthy and nit free…. and we made the most of it before the […]

Up Down Up Down Up

Posted on August 18, 2011

His eyes well up with tears, he screws up his face and he howls. I have no idea what’s wrong with him, not a clue, but I go to him and he raises his arms to me, wanting to be picked up. But instead of snuggling into me and the tears slowing, he arches his […]
