Ducks and I attended the first of our independent birth education classes last night. Last night was all about ‘normal’ birth and to be honest, I thought that I wouldn’t learn anything new. I was wrong. Though pretty familiar with most of the information presented, I learnt an awful lot through watching the videos and [...]

this week…

thyroid note
An interesting side effect of this pregnancy, and one which was not expected at all, is that my thyroid levels are the best they’ve ever been! Optimum in fact, for getting knocked up! It’s odd and not medically anticipated at all. If anything, my understanding is that thyroid can go a bit nuts during pregnancy [...]

again, gone
I’m pretty crap at this blog thing, aren’t I? I’m just such an Aries…totally inspired and excited by the newness of things and completely unmotivated once it gets old. I’d call myself fickle, but I’m really not.
Anyway, this time the lovely frog has shaken me from my slumber. Darling Ducks has been trying to get [...]
