Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
This is where you’ll find all of my posts about parenting, from advice to reviews, and plenty of head-scratching.
Before little Frederic was born on Friday, I’d speculated on a few occasions that having a second child couldn’t possibly be as hard as the first one – something which I’m still just about clinging on to now, five days in to little Freddie’s life. Some things have definitely been easier, some things just as…
After several months of wondering how Robert would react to having a little brother, I’m pleased to report that things are going well so far. Baby Frederic has been home for over 24 hours now, and we’ve not had any cause for concern yet. In fact, Robert seems to be very keen to be involved…
Okay, so it’s just a few video files – but it could well be the start of something big! Or something very small and cute…
I thought I’d share a few more shots of baby Freddie from today, for those that are keen to see more of him. Interestingly (well, at least to me!), when Robert was born I put all the photos on Facebook, but since then I’ve become a much more active Twitter user, as well as having…
At exactly 0651 in the morning on July 1st, we welcomed little Frederic in to the world. Mother and baby are both doing fine – after a spell in the “Special Care Babies” ward to warm him up – and are hoping to return home tomorrow. He weighed a little 6lbs 8oz – 6oz bigger…
Ever since we announced our pregnancy to friends, family and the internet, people have been asking both of us “Do you know what it is yet?”. Aside from realising that my stock response of “A human… I hope!” isn’t actually very funny, I’ve noticed a very common response to this question from a lot of…
Today was our 38-week hospital appointment – the (hopefully) final appointment before baby arrives: an appointment which we never got to in Robert’s case. As far as I can tell, the only thing they actually did – after almost 90 minutes of waiting and 3 different medical professionals – was check Sara’s urine sample and…
As it’s Father’s Day, I thought it might be nice to show a little love to some of my favourite fathers – famous faces you’ll know, and a few you might not. All of them are dads though, and people who I love to follow online (in a Twitter sense, rather than a stalkerish way!)…
At 38 weeks, this week marks the time in our first pregnancy when Robert was born – so anticipation is running fairly high in our house at the moment. As with most pregnancies, Sara is looking a little bigger this time around (supposedly the muscles having relaxed more during the last pregnancy causes more “expansion”…
Three years ago this morning, I became a father. At 01.37am on June the 14th 2008, my life changed in a pretty big way – and in a few weeks time, it’ll all be turned upside down all over again. But don’t worry though, I’m not going to get all weepy on you – a…
