Welcome to the end of the first trimester. Well done, mama! You made it. Between announcing your pregnancy, worrying about spotting and that dreadful morning sickness, these past few weeks have not been easy. But you are looking at the final stretch of the first...
If you're anything like me, your first month of pregnancy was filled with a ridiculous number of pregnancy tests, lots of anxiety and kind of surreal, "is this actually happening?" fog. Now that we're past all of that and the reality (read: excitement) actually starts...
There are few memories that stand out as significantly as the moment you realise you are going to be a parent. For me, the day was largely unremarkable, but it is one I will never ever forget. LET’S SET THE SCENE, SHALL WE? We had just moved...
