Ode to a New Mum

Ode to a New Mum

You brought your baby home this week. Your head is all a haze. You're not quite sure which way is up. You haven't slept in days.   They tell you you should breast-feed, And show you different ways. Your boobs are sore, your nipples raw. You haven't slept in days.   The house is full of dust-mites. "Who cares?” the family says. It makes you sneeze and wee a bit. You haven't slept in days.   Your clothes now all have milk-stains. "You're fabulous," HE says. You appreciate the sentiment, But haven't slept in days.   You finally left the ...

This week baby I promise…

October 24, 2011 By jbmumofone 18 Comments

Monday again folks, so what to aim for this week?  Last weeks was pretty easy as only had to go and buy a Halloween outfit...pictures to follow I promise.  I find these much much easier to stick to than the behavioural ones so should perhaps do something harder this week..perhaps... This week baby I promise, now that I can wrap you up warm in your super-big coat, to take you to the swings at least three times. <div align="center"><a href="http://jbmumofone.com/" title="Mum Of One"><img src="http://jbmumofone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/img_0838-1.jpg" alt="Mum Of One" ...

Listography: Top 5 Toys

Listography: Top 5 Toys

The marvelous Kate is having a pre-christmas clear out before embarking on the much dreaded anticipated Christmas shopping trip.  Before venturing out however, she has had the terribly clever idea of asking us all to list our own top five toys.  She will then compile the results before issuing us all with our Santa-busting top ten MUST BUY lists.  This woman is a genius. So, here are the top five buys we, or other kind souls, have made for W. 1. Racing into the number one spot, without a doubt, has to be THE STACKING CUPS.  Was a more useful distraction toy ever invented?  In fact I love ...

This week baby I promise…

It is Monday again so time for my very own meme.  I learnt this week, at Bristol Blogcamp from the beautiful @MotherVenting, that this is pronounced 'meem' not 'me-me'.  Shame really.  I preferred 'me-me'. Anyway, I digress.... "This week baby I promise, now that you are crawling, to have another go at what you have now shown me was a completely lame first attempt at baby-proofing the house." To linky up with your promise for the week just click the link below, and please leave a comment after linking.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading them.  Good luck this week peeps, and if you like grab a ...

Today my baby crawled forwards….at last.

October 7, 2011 By jbmumofone 18 Comments

Today my baby crawled forwards….at last.

After what feels like months, but in reality may have only been weeks, of backwards  and crab-like sideways crawling, today my son W, 9 months old, finally found forwards!  And I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief....briefly.   I have been getting myself in a real state about these baby milestones.  The fact that I signed up to lots of online baby clubs during pregnancy hasn't helped.  Almost daily I seem to receive a mail from one of them helpfully informing me of what I can expect my child to be doing this week.  IT IS FREAKING ME OUT.  Especially as W is not doing most of them. ...

Monday again folks.  How are we doing with our resolutions so far?  Have to confess last weeks wasn't an over-riding success for me but hey ho, onwards and upwards, so... This week baby I promise to take you swimming every day as we are on our hols, a-woohoo!  (Am also secretly hoping this means you will sleep really well while me and Daddy have our dinner). Apologies for the delay this week, took me a while to find internet access!  Linky up with yours for this week and please leave me a comment after linking.  Happy Monday folks x ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
