Takeout-aholics 2008-06-04 13:19:58 My husband and I are takeout-aholics. It’s really so so bad! We have had, since Saturday, 3 take-out dinners (an indian, a thai and a pizza) and 2 resturant meals. It has to stop… I have lost all interest in cooking recently… maybe I have gone off cooking, cleaning and ironing the [...]
Talk About Tuesday: The Nursery 2008-06-03 14:12:26 Lara over at The Lazy Organizer has set us a theme for the first Talk About Tuesday
of every month. We are to talk about our house… do kind of like a home tour… so I have decided to talk about the nursery.
Our nursery isn’t a REAL nursery as it is in our bedroom. Currently we [...] Read more:Nursery
No title 2008-06-05 02:38:48 …think they might be starting again! Ouchy but exciting!

Bump Watch + Contractions 2008-06-05 02:22:21 Ouchy. Skin… stretching… Notice how it has dropped though. It is sitting much lower than before.
Well here I sit at 8am having had a painful and restless night. Contractions started at 10pm and got strong and regular very fast. When we rang for a taxi at 12.30am they were every 7 minutes and when [...]
Welcome to the world Oliver 2008-06-08 10:16:32 Oliver Charlie James Hughes was born at 8.49pm on 5th June 2007 weighing 8lbs and 1 ounce. All 3 of us are doing very well and having fun adjusting to family life. Oliver is just so handsome and worth the pain. I will write a proper account of the birth when we have all settled [...] Read more:Welcome

Talk About Tuesday: Birth 2008-06-10 16:05:34 This TAT I’m going to tell my birth story. Beware. It’s long.
Wednesday 4th I went into the kitchen about 10.30pm to make something to eat. This was when I had my first contraction and I remember it vividly. I carried on making something to eat and went into the bedroom. The pains got gradually worse [...] Read more:Tuesday
Nappies :) 2008-06-12 02:07:59 It would seem that Oliver is saving his worst nappies for his daddy and his granny to change. Any time I go to change him they are just wet… no poop :) Maybe he thinks he put me through enough with giving birth to him that he is taking it easy on me for a [...]
Project 365 2008-06-11 09:55:58 So I decided to do Project
365 from the day Oliver was born. I’ll be taking one photo a day for a whole year… each day I’ll be trying to capture the days events in one photo… something important and memorable about the day or just something that happened. I want to do this project [...]
This is the life! 2008-06-11 08:41:35 Family life is just fabulous. Were all settling in really well. Last night Ollie woke just once for a change and a feed at 3.00 which means I had a full 6 hours sleep. I feel like a different woman today. His routine is going ok. Were feeding him every 4 hours so at night [...]

This week I had a baby. For this Love Thursday
I’m posting the picture I took of my husband soon after I gave birth. We both thought it was incredible how soon after a baby is born that a bond is formed with them. Neither of us can quite [...]

So… James had his first day at work, since Ollie arrived, today. It was strange but my mum was here so I was not on my own completely. Really missed him. He is working tomorrow and then has all of next week off when my mum [...]
Photohunt: Emotion 2008-06-14 07:10:34 This week’s theme for Photohunt
is emotion. The below photos were taken just a few minutes after James proposed to me. We got engaged at Give It A Name Festival in London (a music festival) in April 2006. It was TOTALLY unexpected and looking back I don’t think anywhere else would have suited us so perfectly [...] Read more:Emotion
Smart Habit Saturday 2008-06-14 06:19:44 Now that little Oliver has arrived I really must get into a routine and not turn into a slummy mummy. Something I have been for the last week! My mum has been here for the past 5 days and you would never believe just how much she has done for us. Our house has never [...] Read more:Smart

Oh Cute! 2008-06-16 11:09:24 My blog buddy Cassie had her baby on Thursday 12th June. He is adorable! Go say congratulations to Cassie and let her know how adorable her little one is! I had little Ollie on her due date (5th June) and I felt awful because I had gone 2 weeks early and she went overdue… so [...]
11/365 2008-06-15 15:14:32 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Today is James first Father’s Day and when he woke up this morning he had no idea. Ollie and I made the above footprints and bought the mug on Thursday. James has never really been into receiving or giving cards so I thought the above would be more personal and more [...]
12/365 2008-06-16 16:28:31 Today I got 2 pressies in the post and a few cards. I seem to be getting a couple of cards a day at the minute and it’s just lovely! I recieved some disney clothes and the above parcel from my friend. She got married the same month as me and we [...]
14/365 2008-06-18 11:00:24 My little baby is getting big! At Dr. appointment today we found out that he is back to his birth weight… in fact he is slightly more than his birth weight. All babies lose about 10% of their weight when they are born and it takes 2 - 3 weeks for them to put the [...]

One word meme 2008-06-26 08:53:58 So I stole this from Cassie who stole it from Meghan… I thought it would be a bit of fun and I’m tagging my friend Lauren (she is quite new to blogging so go visit her and say hi!)!

Swingers! 2008-06-26 07:41:51 I can’t believe it… I think the people who live in the apartment above us are swingers!
Two nights ago we heard an awful lot of noise from the ceiling above us. It sounded like sex noise! It was very loud and rhythmic and hubby and I were lying in bed nearly wetting ourselves with laughter [...] Read more:Swingers

Hubby and I had a date! 2008-06-25 15:32:48 This week James’ mum has been staying with us. She has been so helpful and has ironed all that needed ironed and is currently finishing knitting the blanket I started (I didnt get a chance to finish because he came early and now that he is here I dont have enough time to knit the [...] Read more:Hubby
21/365 2008-06-25 15:15:15 Look what arrived in the post today!! My granny and grandad (Ollie’s great grandparents) sent this… and he LOVES it. It is a real sheepskin for him and it is so soft. As soon as I set him down he wriggled about for a minute getting comfy and he loves it. If only it were [...]
Talk about Tuesday: Being a Mum 2008-06-24 14:02:33 Being a mum is hard. To be honest, I have found the last couple of weeks a lot harder than I had imagined they would be and find that I didn’t expect Ollie to cry so much. At first I felt so unsure of myself and had so little confidence and this made me worry [...] Read more:Tuesday

Ollie had his first train ride on 21st June. We were on our way to Belfast for Connor’s (my new nephew… James’ sister’s son) christening. I thought little boys were supposed to LOVE trains… well Ollie just slept the whole way there hehe.

This is the cute outfit Ollie wore to the Christening. He [...]
