I come bearing good news, like a payslip or page 3 of The Sun. ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ is going to be published as a book! OK, so no agents wanted me. Publishers gave me the whole “talk to the hand, ‘cos the face ain’t listening” thing. So I’m going to do it the hard way, [...]

Product Review: Sophie the Giraffe
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged baby, giraffe, teething, toys on August 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »
A week or so ago I was approached by Trevor Ginn of Hello Baby, who asked me to review one of their products, recommending Sophie the Giraffe from Vulli. I gratefully accepted, and the toy arrived in the post just a couple of days later. Made with natural rubber, Sophie has no small parts that [...]

“So how long have you got left?” “Are you sure there’s not two in there? They hide behind each other on scans, you know.” (Upon hearing the response to the first question, with a look of polite shock as they regard the sheer size of your partner): “Oh…wow…” Rough translation: Man, you’re huge. There may [...]

Jess had a midwife appointment this week, in which – after much very painful looking pinching and groping – the midwife told her that our baby had got his act together, done a triple somersault double pike, turned upside down and was beginning to engage (which conjures up images of either a capsule docking with [...]

This week we attended an antenatal home birth class down at some Quaker centre in the local town. Jess had concerns about being the largest pregnant woman there, and rightly so. She’s swelled somewhat lately. Was it a helpful class? Kinda. Was it full of hippies? Umm, yeah. We began by all sitting in a [...]
Week Thirty One: Break out the earplugs, it’s going to get loud

I made the mistake the other day of watching a television programme in which they showed childbirth, and now I’m freaking out. Well – I’m quite a laid back person, so ‘freaking out’ for me consists more of sitting rigidly still and staring wide-eyed at the wall with a runny nose in some kind of [...]
