Sponsored Post: M & S Launches New Baby Area!

Sponsored Post: M & S Launches New Baby Area!

I am sure many expectant Mums will be delighted to hear that M&S have just launched a brand new baby area!  When I was first pregnant with the boy it was such an exciting but confusing time.  Which pram did I need?  Three wheels or four? Which car seat?  Did I want a cot or a cot-bed?  How many baby grows /muslins/bottles/blankets were going to be required and where on earth was I going to store them? Mr B and I spent countless weekends visiting store after store, glazed expressions on our faces, becoming increasingly more bemused with each new find.  Did we really NEED a video monitor? ...

Patience

June 30, 2013 By jbmumofone 9 Comments

"Patience, n. A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue." Ambrose Bierce   Patience is something I currently possess in very limited quantities.  Quite unreasonably really.  Baby number two is not even due until 4th July but somehow I had figured it would be here already. And I feel a bit cheated. I have hit that end-stage of pregnancy where I have had enough. I am sick...a lot. I am mahoosive. I am ridiculously hormonal and daren't watch anything remotely serious for fear of the floods of tears that will follow.  I bawled my eyes out at Question Time last week. ...

Thirty-four weeks and counting

May 23, 2013 By jbmumofone 9 Comments

Thirty-four weeks and counting

Thirty-four weeks into pregnancy number one I was so ready for W's arrival.  Match-ready you might say. The nursery was freshly painted, cot assembled, drawers filled with clean and neatly ironed baby-grows and blankets. I had bottles and breast-pumps at the ready, hospital bag packed and the delivery suite number on speed-dial. Thirty-four weeks into pregnancy number two is an entirely different story. The 'nursery' is currently a wasteland of old and new mattresses piled in a massive mattress mountain atop a partly dis-assembled bed. A mountain randomly strewn with leaflets issued ...

If Only I’d Known…

If Only I’d Known…

With just fifteen weeks to go until the arrival of baby number two, I have been thinking a lot about the arrival of number one just lately. I was recently asked what were the things I wish I had known whilst pregnant that first time. I could dwell on the fact that W's birth was long, complicated, traumatic and still ultimately the best thing I have ever managed but is that going to help anyone? Nope. So...the stuff you really need to know and I wish that I had...     ...that when my first contractions started but I still felt ok enough to take the time to apply my ...

Open season…

Open season…

If you ever start a sentence with "Do you mind if I ask...?", my advice would be stop right there.  Chances are they will. So, any of you who follow me on twitter will know that on occasion over the last year a few people have asked if I am pregnant again. No I am not and yes I DO mind you asking, is generally the response. Followed by a bit of a rant. And a brief period of starvation. Thankfully the belly-busting is beginning to work and this hasn't happened for a while.  Phew.  What has begun to happen though, AN AWFUL LOT, is people asking if, though more often when, we will ...

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?
