I am now 26 weeks pregnant – 27 weeks this coming Sunday. Belly-Baby apparently weighs 900g and is about 35cm long. Oh how I love pregnancy related apps on my phone, admittedly not as much as I loved them first time around – BabyCentre was my home for the entire pregnancy, this time it’s more of a distant friend I check in with now and again – usually on a Sunday to find out what Baby’s doing this week!
LP at (Nearly) 17 Months!
I realised earlier that I haven’t told you about my perfect LP in quite a while so I thought it’d be a good reason to do another blog post!
LP is amazing, and there is now no denying that she’s not a baby anymore – she is very much a perfect little person in her own right.
20 Week Pregnancy Update
Well I have reached the half way point! Cannot believe that I am now halfway to meeting Belly-Baby.
I had my 20 week scan yesterday and to our relief everything was fine. Baby even opened its fist to give us a wave, and the kind sonographer even gave us a ‘footprint’ photo for free – as we had to pay £3.50 each for the others. We’ve never had to pay before, but it’s a new charge that our hospital has introduced.
2013 Resolutions
I don’t normally take resolutions very seriously, but 2013 is going to be a year of change for my family and I, and I would like to make some decisions relating to those changes. So here are my resolutions.
2012
2012 was a really great year overall.
It was the year I got back into Twitter, and with that came a huge amount of support, help, encouragement and some new, great friends! It was whilst being on Twitter again that I decided to start this Blog and I am glad I did, it has been a place for me to be honest, to vent, to try and support others and to give a perspective of things. My blogging and Twitter-ing will definitely continue into 2013.
Pregnancy Update – 17 Weeks
Well I haven’t blogged for a month – since I announced that we were expecting another LP!
This last month has flown by, everyone now knows about Belly-Baby and I have started planning maternity leave at work. Realistically I’ll be leaving at the end March and taking my annual leave before starting my maternity leave in mid-May, ready for Belly-Baby’s arrival towards the end of May. I am really looking forward to those 2 months with LP, if all goes to plan!
A Little Announcement….
I haven’t blogged in a while. Going back to work and LP breaking her leg didn’t really give me the urge to start writing again. I thought I’d wait for something worth writing about.
LP’s 1st Birthday
Yesterday, 28th August, was LP’s 1st Birthday!
To mark the occasion we had a gathering at our house on Bank Holiday Monday. A BBQ with friends and family. It was a really lovely day! A few people unfortunately couldn’t make it for various reasons but it was still a lovely day.
Banana Cake Recipe – Our Family Favourite

Recently I have decided that all Mums should bake. And they should bake well – obviously this is a little bit tongue in cheek. This is taking some practice and I think it will take years to perfect! But I think that I have ticked the ‘Mums must make cake’ box, even if the cakes aren’t perfect just yet! One of my favourite cakes is this Banana Cake recipe, as it uses up ‘past their best’ bananas and tastes great too.
Healthy Fruit Scones Recipe

After the popularity of my Cheese Scones recipe, I thought I would also share my Healthy Fruit Scone Recipe for a bit of variety. This basic scone recipe gives a lovely sweet option and something else to add to the baby led weaning menu but also something that the whole family can enjoy. I don’t think you can ever have too many scone recipes!
