She is taking to weaning like a duck to water and when I put her in the high chair, she doesn't have … Continue reading Baby led weaning-2nd Baby

I am a first time Mom since July 18, and I want to share everything I have learned so far with all future & current first time mommies.
New Year, New Room
It's hard to believe I have now gone past the 4 month mark with Aisling, time seems to be just slipping through my fingers! After Christmas, due to her growing at an extraordinary rate, we decided to move her into the bigger cot. It doesn't fit in our room which meant moving her too, sigh!! … Continue reading New Year, New Room
Nearly 10 weeks with newborn
How has 10 weeks passed since I gave birth!! I thought I would do a blog post each week, how naive I was. I totally forgot how demanding a newborn is!!

My home birth story
Last week we welcomed our beautiful little girl Aisling, at 41 +1, all 7lbs even.

It was without a … Continue reading My home birth story

You assume once you have one, it will be easy to get pregnant again the second time round. This really wasn't my experience. When I was trying to get … Continue reading How do I get pregnant?

More discipline issues
It's always a proud mom moment when the creche supervisor tells you, your little one hit another child, as I hang my head in shame. She did reassure me though that all of the toddlers are doing the same thing. It's all about testing boundaries apparently!
