Updated present list

Sun, 04 Mar 2007 09:00:29 +0000

I need to update my present list as Martin (and anyone else in the mood for buying) has the daunting task of buying me a Birthday present, a Mother's Day present and an Anniversary present. Martin thinks I am hard to buy for. I'm not, really!

Routine

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 13:46:37 +0000

I hate routine. I like things to flow, just happen, potter along. The thought of *having* to do things at a certain time fills me with horror. What if I'm late? I hate being late.

Kid's Talk

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:16:18 +0000

The children come out with fantastic things sometime so I will try and get them down before they get forgotten.

The most recent was Morgan, talking to Ruaridh, about me...

"She used to be a woman, now she's a mummy."

Well thanks Morgan, that is truer than you know.

Morgan's Eating

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 10:56:53 +0000

Morgan is a fussy eater. Hell no - he has an eating disorder. There I've said it. It has been going on for so long now that we accept it as normal for him - but to an outsider he is by no means a normal eater and it is a recent event that has made me do something about his problems.

Orla's Birth Story

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 18:43:16 +0000

Well - what a day I've had. I was convinced that this baby was going to put in an appearance next weekend - but she chose to come early. (Well 41wks officially - but I think she wasn't due until tomorrow)

Whoosh...

Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:19:03 +0000

Whoosh! Did you see it? That was my due date going by - again. I was officially 'due' yesterday. I had great fun yesterday watching people who asked so when are you due? blanching at the response today. One woman took a step back, a couple looked shocked, not knowing quite what to say. Well what do you say?

Third Babies

Thu, 09 Mar 2006 06:00:56 +0000

As the due date is fast approaching I have found my self pondering all the "What Ifs..."

The more people I speak to about third babies the more I realise just how unpredicatable they are. We could be talking a 20 minute labour or a 20 hour labour - really don't know. It doesn't help that this pregnancy has been so much harder than the other two. Thankfully my SPD has not been anywhere near as bad as it was with Ruaridh but, my goodness, the nausea has been awful.

Anti-natal classes

Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:06:45 +0000

I have been attending ante-natal classes to prepare for this baby. Okay, okay - third time round perhaps I don't need them as much as I have done in the past. So - my reasons for attending are to meet mums with babies the same age (always useful), to actually have some time in the week to think about the baby and what is to come and to have a good laugh at what is said. (Oh and there might be a small business reason in there too ;-) )

Baby Nesting

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 17:33:53 +0000

My Mum and Dad are up this week. Generally helping out as it's half-term but also helping me prepare for the baby - which now we are into February is alarmingly close.

Lucy's Sling Wish List

My new obsession is slings. If you feel the need to buy me something amazing then this is where to look.

Lucy's Gift List

Thu, 08 Dec 2005 22:54:48 +0000

Christmas is coming - so present time again. Time to buy and time to be bought for. Also with a new baby due in the Spring I thought I should update my wish list and put down some ideas for the baby too.

A good sunny weekend in East Lothian.
