How to: Host A Winnie The Pooh Birthday Party
| October 10, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under How To:, On Mama's Mind, Projects |
Ameli is loving Winnie the Pooh, ever since we went to see the Winnie the Pooh movie in April this year. As a result, and since we live in a beautiful woodland area, we decided to have a 100 Acre Wood Party. Here’s the low down on how we hosted a fab party:
Dear Ameli – Letter to A Two Year Old
| October 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli I’ve started this letter to you so many times already, and keep deleting what I’ve written because what I’m writing just doesn’t quite match up to the intensity I’m feeling. This has been a full-on month in our story. You are two years old. We had a birthday party for you at home.…
Dear Squidgy
Well, we’ve made it to and through 19 weeks, and it’s been one heck of a busy week.
Let’s see – on Thursday, which is your ‘official’ 19 week date, we had a visit from our lovely midwife. She checked my blood pressure, which was quite low, but normal for me. The urine test was perfect, and my favourite part of the visit? Listening to your heart beat. Daddy came down from the office, and him and Ameli and I listened to your heart beat. It’s strong and regular and beautiful.
That was really great. I don’t have another appointment until November now, I think, but I’m trusting in you and in me and in our ability to pull through this together. The midwife, Jane, thinks you’re quite small, and the scan shows you on the smaller side of the scales, which worries me a bit as your sister was on the highest side of the scale! I’m sure it’s fine – you’re a different person, maybe you have your Granny Geraldine’s height… she’s nice and small. I’m trying not to worry. I know worry does neither of us any good.
