First of all, I want to say that this is NOT a pregnancy announcement. But as I sit here watching England win the Cricket World Cup (amazing), I realised that I haven’t given you an update about what is happening in our family in forever. I thought I would give you a little update and (if I can remember) I will try and do this every few months. So this is what is currently happening and what has happened in…
“Baby mine, don’t you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, Baby of mine.” Happy birthday, baby of mine. Today you turned one. Our second rainbow baby is growing up. This time last year I had just given birth. And you had already begun to fill our lives with huge bundles of love and joy. Earlier on in the day, Andy Murray had won Wimbledon. Little Miss H and I had…
Where did April go? The past few months seem to have been flashing before my eyes. I'm in shock that we are now entering the fifth month of the year. I can't quite believe that in less than three months, we will hopefully get to meet Little Mister H and our second rainbow baby will complete our family. I know that the next few months will fly by.

Today is my birthday. I am now 37 years old. I am not entirely sure how it happened but I appear to have entered my late thirties. Three years of the big 4-0. And it actually feels good.

And although I still have days when I struggle, I know what I need to do to make myself…
Today I am happy to be back writing another My Captured Moment post. They are always lovely to write as they give me the opportunity to look back at a moment of my life that has made me smile. This week's My Captured Moment is a series of photographs that were taken back in May. It was Little Miss H's second birthday and we had taken a day trip to Whitstable to visit the beach.…
Back in May, Little Miss H turned the grand old age of two. Her birthday was a few weeks after the miscarriage and it crept up on me rather suddenly. We had decided that we would throw her a party the Sunday after her birthday. A week before the date, I realised that I had invited a few people to her party but that was it. I was completely disorganised and didn't have a clue what I was doing.…
Today felt like summer again. But there are daffodil bulbs in the shops, conkers on the ground and my wedding anniversary and birthday are approaching. This means we are in the season of “mists and mellow fruitfulness”. It is definitely about time that I tell you about the amazing summer that we’ve just had – beginning with the wonderful month of May. (Okay, I know it is the last month of Spring but humour me!) A plethora of birthdays Our…
