Rainbow Baby 2.0 – Pregnancy & choosing my birth team

By Bianca Johnson / June 7, 2017

I chose my birth team for my second birth based on my gut feeling of the people. The moment I found out I was pregnant, almost, I asked Leigh Jansen to be my doula. We’ve been friends for about a year and I knew that she was a doula – I’d been following her blog since…

Another miscarriage…

By Bianca Johnson / July 21, 2015

I found out I was pregnant just before my son’s first birthday party. Since all the family were going to be around, we told them a few days after the party. Everyone was thrilled as they know I want a big family. Once again my parents were sad that they were going to be in…

The BSquirt has arrived!

By Bianca Johnson / June 3, 2014

Kyle Connor Johnson was born at 13h50 on Wednesday, 28 May 2014 at Life Westville Hospital in Durban, South Africa. He came into the world via natural delivery after a relatively short labour at 40 weeks and 2 days. I began counting contractions around 19h00 on Tuesday evening. They were fairly regular, but quite far…

It’s been a while

By Bianca Johnson / May 9, 2014

I apologise again for the delay. I’ve been really bad at even reading my blog roll, never mind updating my own blog. There really isn’t much of a reason really. My pregnancy is still going very smoothly. I am 38 weeks on Monday and BSquirt is expected to arrive any time in the next 3…

Everything is ok….

By Bianca Johnson / March 29, 2014

… I’m just really sucky at keeping my blog updated! I am 32 weeks today and can’t believe that I only have 8 weeks-ish left until we meet the BSquirt. I can’t remember when last I posted, and I’m on my phone so it’s complicated to check. I think it was before our 4D scan.…

Week 24 – 26 Update

By Bianca Johnson / February 19, 2014

I’ve realised why I’m not so good at remembering to post on my blog. Well I remember that I should, but never get around to it. There are two reasons – firstly I don’t feel that doing it on my phone or iPad gives me enough control in editing, and so I keep putting it…

Week 21 – 23 Update

By Bianca Johnson / January 26, 2014

Ok – so I am being awful at keeping this blog updated! I keep reading other people’s blog posts and never get round to posting my own update. Like someone else said, when you’ve been through what we have, it feels awkward just posting week on week that things are going well. I do acknowledge…

HALFWAY! Looking forwards and backwards.

By Bianca Johnson / January 7, 2014

I can’t believe that I am half way through this pregnancy already! It has both dragged and flown by! I can’t believe that I haven’t done a proper update in almost a month either. I apologise to my avid followers. I don’t really have any real excuse except that I was being super lazy. In…

Everything’s ok, just being super lazy.

By Bianca Johnson / January 1, 2014

I feel bad cos I haven’t posted an update. Everything is going well and I have started feeling The BSquirt move. We have had a super lazy festive season with just the two of us this year. The laziness has moved into all areas of my life. I promise to do a proper post soon,…

By Bianca Johnson / December 10, 2013

We had our 16 week scan with Dr P and baby has consistently measured 6 days ahead of my LMP, so we will now work on the new dates. Baby is the size of an avocado. Perhaps tonight calls for guacamole? How far along are you? New dates I am 16w3d. Revised due date is 24…
