You Know It's Your Second Pregnancy When ...



You know it's your second pregnancy when ...


  1. Your hospital bag still isn't completely packed at 39 weeks and instead of being neatly tucked into the the backseat of the truck it's upstairs with half it's contents spilling all over the drawer that's trying desperately to contain it.
  2. You've only just written your birth plan because you thought it might be a good idea to jot down a few things. I had 3 typed copies of Cyril's detailed birth plan in the hospital bag at 34 weeks.
  3. You bought the isofix base for your carseat on Wednesday and installed it yesterday. Cyril's was in the car from 32 weeks.
  4. You had half a pint of Guinness on Thursday  and didn't think twice about it just enjoyed every glorious sip.
  5. You rock climbed until 29 weeks, instead of stopping at 12, and were disappointed when your husband told you it was time to take it easy and stop climbing.

Mini pregnancy update ...

After Josh took this photo I exclaimed, "Holy shit I'm massive, hadn't realised how big I'd gotten."

I haven't weighed myself this week and am honestly too tired to even bend over to turn the damn scale on. 

It's officially a pain in the ass/bladder to bend over to tie my shoes, pick up toys and when I drop something it kinda feels like the world is ending. "Fuck fuck fuck is what I repeat in my head."

I'm beyond clumsy, if I'm not knocking children over with my bump I'm dropping stuff at the grocery store, spilling all kinds of beverages and food down my front without even realising it, and tripping over nothing.

Sitting has become exhausting, never mind walking, and nursery afternoons are usually spent in the bath or having a nap instead of hiking up mountains with Hobson.

I take Cyril to soft play and just hope he can fend for himself in there because there is no way in hell I can crawl on all fours. On Friday my friend found him stuck in between some giant blocks but said he actually wasn't that upset about it, I sat and knit completely oblivious, whoops!

Cyril seems to know what's going on now and is pretty excited about baby. Last night in the bath he washed her with a cloth, to the point where my stomach was actually red raw and I had to tell him to stop. Then he shouted, "Come out now baby!" He often gives her cuddles and loves to sleep in her crib.

And that'll have to be all folks because the toddler is demanding a "NACK!"

Two Months

I can hardly believe my sweet baby is already two months old, it's seems like a lifetime ago that I was sleep deprived, depressed, and in excruciating pain, not to freak anyone out that is about to have a baby! I've actually been meeting up with some new mums and one of the girls had a really easy labour and didn't struggle at all to breastfeed, in fact she was out and about with her baby girl 3 days after she was born. I wish I could say the same, fortunately Cyril and I have made tremendous progress since then and I have one well behaved and content baby, well most of the time. On Sunday a group of girls and I went to a friend's house for a Baby Calm Workshop and Cyril was very content the whole 4 hours, smiling and interacting for a good portion of the time, and sleeping in my arms the rest of the time. From the books I have been reading since Cyril was born I didn't feel the workshop really benefited me, especially since Cyril is already sleeping 7

Nearly Halfway There, Yikes!

Well life just seems to be getting ahead of us at the moment.  I swear I need another full day every week just to get caught up on the growing list of things I need/want to do before Baby Soper arrives. Technically I was 19 weeks last Friday but Josh and I have been far too busy, and with the nights closing in on us we had to move the chalkboard photography indoors, otherwise I would have taken my 19 weeks photo this weekend, outdoors, but then I would have already been 20 weeks! ABOUT ME How far along? 19 weeks and 6 days Total weight gain/loss? From 133 (pre-pregnancy) to 141 for a total of 8 pounds! Maternity clothes? Yes and no.  Maternity clothes are more comfortable but I still fit into some of my pre-pregnancy outfits. The skinny pink  corduroys  are a definite no no however, and so is my itty bitty bikini, which means I'll be wearing a maternity bikini in Tenerife and looking like a beached whale! Stretch Marks? Thankfully those haven't appea

Bad Ass Baby Soper

                                   VS             This Rad Hat                                These Bodysuits                          I think the decision is obvious                               While perusing several "baby friendly" websites to get an idea of what the little guy might need once he is born I came to the conclusion that cute  bad ass boys clothes are few and far between.  I would call Josh over to have a look at a few potentials, and his response was always "Eh, not really bad ass enough for our child, don't they have any surfy stuff."  I always commented about how many adorable and stylish options there were for girls but how the boys department never stacked up, I mean grown up men wear fashionable clothes and they're not all baby blue with donkeys and giraffes all over the place.  I know it's a baby, but come on people, no child of mine is going to be caught dead in this  I'm Cute Dinosaur Romper .  So I continued my search,
