Skin Conditions in Pregnancy

February 9, 2015 by heatherss 7 Comments

skin problems in pregnancy

This month has Pregnancy Awareness Week (10-16 February) and I thought I'd write about one aspect of pregnancy that every woman must face: the changing condition of your skin. Whether the changes are linked to hormones, the pregnancy itself or existing conditions which become worse during this time, … [Read more...]

Baby Shower No 2

June 10, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

Hello bleeps! How are you doing? I still have half a face! But I must say the nesting instinct is definitely kicking in as B and I sorted out the nursery yesterday, packing everything in order and feeling a lot more sorted. I had a fantastic baby shower on Friday at work. The whole school made a … [Read more...]

ENT and Gynae visits

June 7, 2012 by heatherss 3 Comments

Hello bleeps! Try keeping up with me and my latest medical escapades! Yesterday, I went to the beauty shops to get all sorted out for my op. It was so good to see my old therapist there and catch up (yip I drove the extra miles because they had moved, but trust me, I’d rather do that than … [Read more...]

Ear Infections and Bell’s Palsy

June 5, 2012 by heatherss 10 Comments

I interrupt the cheery news of belly pics and baby showers to give you the sad update on my health. On the positive side, baby is fine. (As far as I know, he’s still kicking...) Remember I told you guys about more than a week ago about the insect that flew in my ear? Well, the ear problem … [Read more...]

Belly pics, 37 weeks

June 4, 2012 by heatherss 7 Comments

I owe M from "I love you baby very much" 's maternity shoot post. I shamelessly stole this idea from her. I figured my hubby is a good photographer and we could create some nice pics. I especially liked the one with her and the leaves plus the one with the flower. So we went out into the garden and … [Read more...]

Baby Shower

June 4, 2012 by heatherss 2 Comments

 I am so incredibly blessed. I have such a wonderful group of friends and they made me feel so special. My cell group leader organized the whole thing, but we had it at my house. She gave me this awesome quilt which makes animal sounds.       Baby bear table cloth I … [Read more...]

Grow, baby grow!

May 31, 2012 by heatherss 9 Comments

Hello bleeps! Well, not much is really new. I have been resting at home trying to create an optimal place for baby to do his thing? Blood pressure readings have come down, but I’m sure they go up every now and then when I worry? On Monday we went to my GP down the road because an insect had … [Read more...]

Still resting

May 24, 2012 by heatherss 1 Comment

  Someone asked for an update (Mommy to Be), but actually there isn’t much to update. I have pretty much been in bed. Every now and then I sit for a bit just to give myself some variety. Blood pressure has been pretty good, although there have been some fluctuations. On Monday when … [Read more...]

Hospital and bed rest

May 18, 2012 by heatherss 9 Comments

Hello bleeps! This is a first for me, writing a post from DH’s iPad. I have been a bit scarce, but I have a good reason. On Tuesday afternoon I went to get my blood pressure checked out with the midwife. It was meant to be just a regular check up but the next thing I know I am being sent to … [Read more...]
