Creating things for baby DEXTER!

There you have it thats what we are calling our baby boy....


Dexter :)


I have been busy crafting a lot recently to pass the nights and to just generally keep myself busy!


Here is a small selection of recent makes :) 


A bib, a taggy blanket, a knitted hat and a knitted frog (there is also a cushion in the photo but as you may be able to see it has an L on it! Thats for Logan hehe) 


I think its nice to create things for your children! Im certainly not the best at sewing or knitting but still it is nice to have unique items that you know no one else will have :)


I have also made a bumper and blankee for the baby crib! 


Do you make things for your children? If so what kind of things do you make? Give me some inspiration hehe! 

Coping with changes for toddlers!

I keep wondering how Logan will adjust to the new addition of the family in June and how I will manage to divide my time so that all 3 children get equal attention.


Logan is in a lot of ways very much a baby himself, his speech is still quite limited and he loves cuddling and like a lot of children just getting as much attention as possible :)
I do worry he may become jealous of the baby having mummies attention but im hoping any problems we will be able to deal with as and when the come!


Im not too worried about how Lexi will cope as she is very excited and cant wait to meet her 2nd little brother, but who knows it could be that Logan is the one who adjusts fine and Lexi could have problems!


Have your little people ever had difficulties when a new sibling has arrived? If so what did you do to make the transition easier for them?

6 Months and counting...

Wow time is flying pregnancy wise! 26 weeks now so not long until we get to meet the newest addition to the Reynolds family!

Im so happy that spring has finally arrived! Its so nice to be able to sit outside in the garden and not freeze my bottom of and the kids have so much more space to play outside at our house since we have moved so its nice to be able to just open the door and let them run around happy :)
Here is a couple recent photos of the little monkeys enjoying the spring sunshine!

Its a..............

Boy :)

February already!

How fast did January go this year? Crazy!


I cant believe my beautiful nieces are a month old already! Emma will be coming onto the blog and posting some reviews of some lovely items she has been sent to try out within the next week! I will be posting a couple reviews as well :)


As I sit and type snow is picking up outside! Only 2 months late mother nature! I am really looking forward to summer I feel like the weather should be heating up now not looking like this!

February means good things for me though! On the 9th I have my 20 week scan at last and will hopefully find out if baby number 3 is a boy or a girl! :D

Pregnancy Worries!

I dont know what it is this time around but I find myself a lot more worried about EVERYTHING! I keep forgetting im pregnant and I dont think I completely believe that there actually will be a baby at 40 weeks!
With both Lexi and Logan I didnt really worry about much I did worry more with Logan than I did with Lexi but this time I am terrible!


I kept this pregnancy a secret from family until I was 13+3 as I was convinced Id lose the baby (with Logan every one knew the day I knew). I am currently 18+3 and all I have bought is a pram... now that might sound like a big purchase but it was £30 on ebay and I only got it because I knew Emma was looking for a cheap single pram to put the twins in for a while rather than put them straight into their side by side stroller so really it was more for her than me!
With both Lexi and Logan I had everything by 18weeks apart from outfit in pink/ blue that I got after the scan!


I dont feel the baby move much, I do feel it but can go over a day and not feel any thing which has also got me worried. I wish we could have little windows on our tummies where we can just sneek a peek when ever we want just to make sure everything is ok! The wait between the 12 week scan and the 20 week scan feels like a life time and then waiting from 20-40 is horrendous for a paranoid pregnant lady!


Im even worrying about the labour, Logans was very quick which makes me worry if it gets faster again I wont make it to the hospital and that thought completely petrifies me!


I would be really interested to know if any other mums or mums to be have felt like they had more worries after they already have children and shouldnt really have much to worry about?

18 week stretch marks

I cant believe I am actually going to post it on here but here is my mummys eye view of my bump at 18 weeks, I look a lot bigger than I did at this stage with both my other babies thats for sure, and as you can see the stretch marks are already starting to come through! They start at the top of my old ones which have gone silver!

Im slightly gutted that I have them already and im dreading how bad they will be at the end :/ but hey I dont think I will really mind having a stomach that looks like a road map when I have a gorgeous little baby in my arms :)
