Pain in the bum


L is now 13 days old already! I'm starting to get the hang of this nappy changing lark - and have quickly realised that although cleaning his bum with just water works fine, avoiding chemical products like baby wipes doesn't necessarily equate with avoiding nappy rash.

Luckily I received some Weleda baby products as a pressie for L, and although I don't want this to sound like an advert, the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream has been miraculous. L is a happy bunny now, and the lovely calendula smell adds to his cute little baby smell (plus it disguises the whiff of poo!!).

Baby's arrived!!



L arrived on Thurs 12 October, weighing 6lbs 14oz!! Here's a photo of him a few hours after he was born, saying 'hello' to the world. He's a little darling, and I'm enjoying my new role as mummy. The past week has been a roller-coaster, but I feel high as a kite, and can't wait for the joys and challenges ahead.

Still waiting...



Still waiting for baby to arrive - it was due 8 days ago, so the doc has booked me a date for inducing labour next week if it doesn't arrive soon. Had curry last night to move things along, and raspberry tea this morning, still nothing.

Really hoping it comes naturally without having to resort to being pumped full of drugs...
