Our Irish Family

On Thursday  15th September 2016, I participated in my first 5km run in a neighboring town. This was my first step in post birth fitness. If you are new here you may not know my back story. I suffered Infertility for years before we finally conceived (with a little help)…

I had to share some of the outfits, Ava has been styling of late. First up, we bought this outfit from Tesco, as you can see Ava was delighted to pose 😉 Next up is Ava’s Halloween costume for 2016. As she was 7 months old this costume lasted a…

On 21 September 2016, I started to work full time. Normally this wouldn’t be a reason to write a blog post. However, this past March I did give birth to a baby (a little girl to be exact). She has turned 6 months old and one day after I started…

On Friday 02nd September 2016, at 5 months and 12 days old, we made the decision to wean Ava. I decided that her first food was to be Ella’s Kitchen baby rice. I have made a youtube video if you are interested in her reaction. Please accept YouTube cookies to…

Two thirty am on Tuesday, June 28, 2016 the fire alarm in our building goes off, it only lasts 10 seconds but frightens the life out of me. For the next 5 minutes nothing happens so I settle back to sleep, thankful it didn’t wake our 3 month old daughter….

To check out part one just click here. I left off part one, where I found out I had PCOS. I attended my GP for a follow-up and she explained to me what exactly PCOS was and how when looking closer I had a lot of symptoms of the disorder. PCOS…
