I was pregnant for 40 weeks and six days. I knew pretty early on that I was pregnant and had my first scan at 3 weeks. When I saw my little baby on the screen, no bigger or different from my coat button, that became its name, “Button”. I didn’t know the sex, but from that moment, I loved my Button.

Here’s our Christmas Dinner Menu for this year. My sister and her boyfriend are visiting us from Norway, so I’m looking forward to a relatively traditional meal.
So there I was, hair done, make-up on, feet becoming reacquainted with heels, handbag at the ready and putting my little girl down from her final feed.

Something’s come up with one, the other is sick, another can’t make it till later, yet another now can’t make it at all. So that leaves just me. All dressed up, and no where to go.
One of the best classes I’ve attended with Kyra has been the Buddha Babies Yoga Class. Despite the name, there’s no spiritual element to the class, and I’ve found that it’s given me invaluable guidance on spending time at home with Kyra actually interacting with her.
