Mamatography Week 4: This And That


Welcome to week 4 of 2012. Is it just me, or is it really flying by? We’re in FEBRUARY folks. I haven’t even packed away all the Christmas decorations yet! (Yes… I know how bad that sounds!) more

Mamatography Week 3 : In Sickness And In Health


We’ve been a flu infested family this week, and it’s been pretty low-key. Still going about our business, but with less energy, and a slightly weightier footprint. more

Writing a Birthplan: The Where, The Who And The Documentation


As a starting point to how to write a birth plan, I want to have a look at some of the very basics of who, where, and what to expect with it.  Before I do though, let’s recap two very important points about birth plans: The benefit of a birthplan is how it guides you… more
