I’m working again! I feel like a bit of a fraud making that claim, because admittedly it’s in our neighbour’s house for just a couple of hours a week, and I can take Thalia with me, but as I’m earning money…it counts. I was lucky and unlucky whilst pregnant – depending on how you look … Lire la suite Back to work (sort of)
Using reusable nappies has been my plan ever since I found out that we were going to have a baby, but being poor travelling souls caught out with a baby on the way meant that we have had to wait a little while to invest. And to be honest, considering the 3 poo’s a day … Lire la suite The world of reusable nappies
Following a huge amount of advice regarding the use of a dummy (thank you mummas!!), we left it down to Thalia to decide. And as though she knew that the topic had been up for debate, she spent the following week viciously attacking her hands with her hoover mouth to get to sleep. I have … Lire la suite Joining team dummy…
François and I have been debating over the use of a dummy. When I say debating, what I mean is that François is happy to give Thalia a dummy whilst I am not, and therefore it has been discussed no further. Just the occasional sarcastic comment from Francois that ‘no, no, she doesn’t need a … Lire la suite To dummy or not to dummy
Today is Mother’s Day in France. And as such I’ve been thinking a lot about my mum, and how much I need and count on her. She’s my go to for all of my baby, relationship and life queries. After google of course. The best part is that she always knows what to say and … Lire la suite Mother’s Day
The problem with not having joined an antenatal class or ‘mum group’ is that I don’t have a large number of other new mums with new babies to discuss my weekly worries with. And those that I do know with older babies I don’t want to annoy with incessant questions. Thalia is currently going through … Lire la suite The night fight
This week I started running again, something I thought was a looooong way away. But seeing as the new HIIT workouts of week 4 are supposed to be teamed with 30 minutes of ‘moderate intensity’ cardio I thought I best try and up my game from walking with the pushchair. Though I am still also … Lire la suite Postnatal exercise – Week 4
Since having a baby I’ve noticed a great decline in my ability to form sentences and have an engaging conversation. Instead of normal adult conversation topics, my head is now full of ‘mum phrases’, you know, the type that make you cringe when you hear them. That is, until you become a mum and catch … Lire la suite Baby talk
Week 3 didn’t go quite to plan…in that it took two weeks. The above picture is a perfect representation of the last few days. Arriving back in France has meant lots of visits, lots of unpacking and lots of settling in. All of which have meant that getting a workout in has taken a back … Lire la suite Postnatal exercise – week 3
Towards the end of my pregnancy I gave a lot of thought to breastfeeding. Mainly panicking that it wouldn’t work, resulting in many questionable dreams (or maybe nightmares) centred around my boobs and their baby feeding abilities. When I first had Thalia we had to stay in the hospital for just over two days because … Lire la suite All about the boob
