Ok. So. This is a something I’ve been thinking about writing for a long time and I may possibly freak out and delete it two second after posting. But let’s see how it goes! Stretch marks. The wonderful prize you’re left with at the end of pregnancy. Well admittedly not everyone but if you’re lucky … More More stripes than Tony the Tiger
One week. How is my baby girl one week old already? If anyone knows where I can get my hands on Bernard’s Watch please let me know. Time is going too fast already. I’m sure by next week she’ll be packing her bags and heading off to University… What a week it’s been! I may … More Our birth story
