Rainbow babies and cloth nappies.
So as it turns out my two children are both rainbow babies. The babies born after miscarriages. The Rainbow of Hope that comes out of the Storm, as the quote I posted near the beginning of my journey said. As such they have both spent most of their babyhoods in rainbow outfits and I pretty…

** contains photos of nudity – NSFW ** 10 July 2017 Mrs G had just returned from her holiday to France and needed assistance. I’d had a lazy morning, we really needed the cash, so I agreed to go through. While I was there I had a few contractions, but nothing major. I thought it…

I’ve accepted that I am not very good at keeping this blog updated, but I’m sure the time will come when I will be better at it again. I came across this today on a group I am in on Facebook. It really resonated with me. I’m just going to leave that here for everyone…

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…
Read MoreWeek 16 based on our New Dates

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…
