Last month saw me host my first Breastfeeding Café, as a Medela Mum and Café ambassador for my city I’ll be hosting one of these each month through to October. It’s a great way for local mums or my fellow breastfeeding friends to get together, eat cake (that’s important) Drink tea and talk.
Before I became a mum I carried around an array of colourful satchels in varying sizes, you’d usually find my iPad mini for reading and my pink beats headphones for the daily commute, a cadburys twirl, lip balm and a tonne of hand sanitiser. Simple! Now I precision pack a large bag with everything from nappies to nasal sprays.
Taylor is now five months old and I still haven’t managed to put into words his entire birth story, it’s something so close to me and personal that finding the best way to share this part of me isn’t easy. It wasn’t horrid, far from it. It also wasn’t the birth I had hoped for, I spent it strapped to a monitor on a bed, instead of in a pool with twinkling lights overhead.
I did however have the many hypnobirthing techniques I had learnt from The Calm Birth School.
I cannot describe how shocked I was to see that my little piece of the internet has found itself in the finals of The MAD Blog Awards, this has truly brightened up a rather difficult week and we wouldn’t be here without you, the readers!
We’re in the finals for the Pregnancy category, if you nominated us thank you so much, I’m still shocked and stunned that we’re listed amongst so many great blogs, many of which I myself read for guidance during my pregnancy.
This week saw Taylor cut his first tooth, after months of dribble and flushed cheeks his left central incisor has completely cut through the gum! I’ve tried on numerous occasions to get a picture of it coming through but it’s really not happening, every time I try he chews or sucks my hand instead.
Today you are four months old 01/05/2015, where has the time gone? It feels like only yesterday we said our first hello and already you have grown from a tiny fragile newborn into this bright bubbly little boy. That’s not to say you don’t have your grumpy moments, boy can you scream, you also appear to have discovered a new emotion, anger. If Craven-Mum doesn’t feed you instantly you sure let me know about it.
