I’ve been a mum for an entire week and it has been the most surreal yet amazing week of my life. How has a week with this amazing tiny person passed us by so quickly? Should we have a cake to celebrate?
We brought Taylor home on Saturday the 3rd of January at 9:00pm after spending two nights in hospital, this was because I’d lost a lot of blood and could barely stand without blacking out, otherwise we would have been home sooner…

I’m very excited and proud to announce that on the 1st of January 2015 our son came into the world! – Taylor Grayson Clarence – He is perfect in every way and we’re completely in love!

One subject that is always rife in the media is breastfeeding, in fact it gets a lot of negative press when I really feel it shouldn’t. It’s 100% natural. That being said as somebody preparing to embark on the journey of motherhood it sounds like bloomin hard work! Not only that but it sounds painful. So the big question is, do I intend to breastfeed? Yes!

As we have less than one week until we reach our EDD (January 2nd) I thought It was about time I shared which essentials are in my hospital bag.
The bags have been packed and waiting by our door since week 28 alongside the car seat, now we just need this little minion to make his grand appearance!

The Calm Birth School are helping mums achieve a positive birthing experience through a number of different techniques and I’ve taken on the task of giving it a go for myself!

Suzy & Hollie of TCBS are now offering an online tuition in hypnobirthing, you don’t even need to leave home to learn the techniques!

It’s the final week before our EDD and I can’t believe this tiny person has been growing inside of me for nine months! It has literally flown by and I’m more than ready to meet our little bundle, theirs a good chance we could go over by a week or two especially with this being my first. However, this has been such a simple text book pregnancy so far that I don’t mind waiting. I actually think I’m going to miss this jiggly little bump of mine.
