Pregnancy | Baby names I love BUT we won’t be using
TweetSome of the names I love but we won’t be using This tag has been doing its rounds on YouTube forever and I love watching vloggers share baby names they love but won’t be using so I thought I’d share some that I love (why I love them) but we won’t be using. I must admit I was pretty dead set on the name I love, I’ve always dreamed of having a little girl one day with this name and Carl flat out hates it. That kind of broke my heart a little bit BUT we’ve moved past that now. I’m 99% sure we won’t be having anymore kids in…

Pregnancy | Series | My favourite… Apps
TweetOne of the first things I did after finding out (after freaking out completely) I was pregnant was download some pregnancy apps to my phone. Of course, there are tons of apps out there and I tried out a few. But eventually I narrowed it down to my favourites (and deleted the others). So how do we know which ones are best? Today, I’m sharing the three apps I use the most and keep on my phone as well as one honourable mention. These turned out to be the best for me, they may or may not work for you depending on what your needs are. Ovia You can choose a theme…

Pregnancy | Update: Symphysis pubis dysfunction (self diagnosis)
TweetWhen its more than just the regular pregnancy aches and pains About three weeks or so ago I started feeling a bit of discomfort and pressure in my pelvic region.

I then mentioned this to a fellow pregnant Mom and local midwife and they both suggested I discuss this with my Gynae at the next check up as it could be Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). What are the signs and symptoms of SPD? A sharp and sometimes overwhelming pain in the region at the front of…

Pregnancy | Motherhood Monday: Some baby news
TweetAs you may have guessed from my picture – we’re having a little GIRL! Mothers of children of the same gender will understand me. The comments start when you’re pregnant – “Shame maybe this time will be a little girl.” When you’re pregnant, the most important thing on your mind, is having a healthy baby. Worrying about the baby’s sex / gender (I’m trying to be so politically correct that I actually don’t know what to refer to it as) should NOT be the main concern. I understand that some people do experience gender disappointment and I don’t want to offend those people at all but top priority should always be…

Pregnancy | Our trusted baby brand: Tommee Tippee
TweetRide or die: What worked best for our family (one brand wonder) When I first began this journey of Motherhood I was overwhelmed by the amount of choices there was available on the market. Different brands, different styles, different price ranges and one very frazzled young Mother to be. Tommee Tippee, Dr Brown, Nuk, Avent, Pigeon etc. This post is not to throw shade at any brands out there, some families gravitate towards certain brands and some babies do the same. You need to do what works for you (do you buy all your home appliances from different brands or stick to one you know and love?). First tip – Don’t…
