Family Heirloom Surprise – Baby Scratchings

https://babyscratchings.wordpress.com/2015/09/07/family-heirloom-surprise

A Bit About Me. Collaborations and Product Reviews. Tales of an itchy baby. September 7, 2015. September 7, 2015. My table is too big for my kitchen. I have bruises from hitting off the corner of it as I try to get to the back door or pop something in the bin. The room feels tiny in its presence and not being able to walk around it makes me claustrophobic. But today, I came home and found this. This is *not* my kitchen table. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all of it. My Baby Makes Me Sick!

https://babyscratchings.wordpress.com/2015/08/24/days-out-in-dublin-and-wicklow-wicklow-bowl-kids-zone

A Bit About Me. Collaborations and Product Reviews. Tales of an itchy baby. Days out in Dublin and Wicklow – Wicklow Bowl Kids Zone. August 24, 2015. This weekend Austin cried more in two days than he has in his nine months of life, combined. His teeth hurt. My ears hurt. In a desperate bid to distract him, Dave suggested a trip to the Wicklow Bowl Kids Zone. Then he sprawled on the couch with the computer and turned on the football, telling me to have fun with the baby. Nice. Nom, Nom, Nom. He never han...

Charlie’s birth story | The Airing Cupboard

https://theairingcupboard.me/2015/08/15/charlies-birth-story

A little place to vent. Published on August 15, 2015. Charlie’s birth story. This is what I get for giving the finger to the almighty uterus. I said Fuck you, 40 weeks. And you know what? 40 weeks fucked me. I lay there for a thousand years (apparently this may have been one of those “time slows down” moments) till Brendan picked me off the floor. Halfway up I realised my wrist was a bit sore. We got home and I shuffled into bed and cried because of the pain, and the fact that I was facing labour whilst ...

Mama wants her uterus back | The Airing Cupboard

https://theairingcupboard.me/2015/08/03/mama-wants-her-uterus-back

A little place to vent. Published on August 3, 2015. Mama wants her uterus back. As always, before sitting down to write this, I had a look through my phone for photos that might be of use, but I’m afraid I haven’t come up with much. All I’ve got is this one from Instagram. Which shows me taking a selfie whilst trying not to look like I’m taking a selfie. And birthing is no exception. I’m not sure who I’m kidding thinking that he’s going to arrive early. I’ve been so convinced...Follow me on Facebook.

Twitter-Shock! – Baby Scratchings

https://babyscratchings.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/twitter-shock

A Bit About Me. Collaborations and Product Reviews. Tales of an itchy baby. August 19, 2015. August 19, 2015. This week, I did some research on improving blog content and performance. I thought I’d maybe get a logo and start to promote it on a few different platforms, perhaps even try to guest blog if I was feeling terribly brave. I’ve been reading lots of posts about blogging but most of it has left me with this expression…. What the hell is Adsense? It looks scary…. I mean, just look at that! I will po...

Mess-Free Baby Weaning – Baby Scratchings

https://babyscratchings.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/mess-free-baby-weaning

A Bit About Me. Collaborations and Product Reviews. Tales of an itchy baby. August 17, 2015. August 18, 2015. I weaned Austin onto solid food when he was 5 and a half months old. He wasn’t yet sitting up without support so feeding him could be a messy job – here’s a video of his first taste of avocado, which we will call Exhibit A. Start with a Bumbo-style seat. However, if you are using a Bumbo style seat at a height you really do need to keep an eye on them as the baby grows because they can be moved i...
