12 months jab and symptom delay
Urgh. We were hoping that N’s last set of jabs were over and done with, especially as he’d had a bit of a temperature and was grouchy the weekend after he’d had them. But no, that was tooth number 10’s…
Family life
Everything family oriented on bubbablue and me, parenting, milestones, children, growing up
Natural mum or be prepared?
I was astounded yesterday as a work colleague (we’ve only been working together since I was back after maternity leave) asked me if I was ever going to have more kids. Her reasoning was “you seem like the type to…
Rainbow cake and stripy jelly
Ok so N’s first birthday was a week or so ago, but our NCT group of mums & babies decided to do one of our regular celebration get togethers in honour of all the first birthdays. We were hosting it…
Injections for babies at 1 year old
Yesterday it was N’s 12/13 month jabs – boosters and his MMR. I had no worries about him having the MMR as some parents have in the past. With his second set of jabs back in March-ish time, he wasn’t…

Week 2: One born every minute…pain
The second week of One Born Every Minute & Netmums link up in conjunction with the tv show (C4 9pm Wed 11th). This week the blog link up is on pain, so here’s my take on it during N’s arrival….
Returning to work
Two days in and I can’t quite believe that people say they like going to work to get a break from looking after the kids. I reckon it’s the other way round, but maybe we’re lucky in that N’s quite…
New Tricks
We’re rapidly approaching a year old (well in a few weeks time), and N’s been practising some of his new favourite tricks. I love the way he just practises over and over again a though he’s so excited that he…
Settling in at nursery
After his last settling in session yesterday, today N starts at his day nursery properly. Yesterday’s session was for 2 hours to include lunch. He did cling slightly when I went to hand him over, and was a little upset…
