Our Story
Our blog posts as we remember to put them through. Feel free to sort by the categories below.
It’s been a while
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….
… 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.…

“Mommy, Somebody Needs You.”
After a particularly tough couple of nights, with little sleep before BSquirt is even here, I am going to take this post to heart and make sure that I enjoy every tiring, exhausting minute of the next few years. Because as this post states – the time will pass way too quickly. The Huffpost Article…

Week 24 – 26 Update
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
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.
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…

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,…

Weeks 13 & 14 Update
According to my apps, baby is the size of a lemon or a kiwi – in South Africa these usually aren’t even close in size. How far along are you? Today I am 14 weeks and 2 days post LMP. My doctor though says I am 15 weeks and 1 day. And I’m officially in my…

Friday Giggle
This morning hubby asked what I wanted for breakfast. I answered “food” because I wasn’t sure what we had. The picture above is what I walked in on in the kitchen. At least my Friday started with a giggle!

12 Week Update
