When we first discovered that we were having triplets, I remember one of the midwives in London telling me to always expect the unexpected in relation to this pregnancy and not to jump to any conclusions or guess how things would go. I don’t think I took this advice very seriously until last Wednesday, January 11th when I was told that there was intermittent absent blood flow to the smallest...

I‘ll never forget those words uttered by the lovely lady sonographer in St George’s hospital as she held my hand tightly at the first scan. I’m almost a little embarrassed by this but I reacted by bursting into tears and shaking from head to toe uncontrollably, John held one hand while she held the other in an attempt to steady me and she quickly let us listen to their heartbeats to calm me...

Our bags are indeed packed… are we ready to go? That is another question entirely! My husband, John and I have lived in London for 7 years and on October 7th 2016 we discovered at our 3 month scan that we were expecting triplets. The word shock doesn’t even begin to cover the feelings that we both felt that day. A lot of life decisions were required and life was suddenly on fast forward. John...

You can imagine my surprise and delight to receive not one, but two invitations to parent-teacher meetings in one week. Thankfully, the invitations arrived at such short notice (a week in one case, and two days in the other) that I did not have an opportunity to build up much of a sense of dread and apprehension. As it happened, the events were two very different experiences, prompting me to...

Location: Office kitchen, St. Peter Port, Guernsey Date: May 2014 (ok, the month might be wrong, I might have made that bit up) It was 10a.m., or thereabouts, and I had more than likely lost the will to double entry book-keep so off I toddled to the kitchen. Cup O’ Clock. My favourite time of the working day. I always offered to do the tea round in the morning for the team. There were seven of...

Hello everyone, My name is Irene. In August 2015, I moved back to Ireland after living in the Channel Islands for over thirteen years. When I left Ireland, I was 22 years old. I had one bag, a passport and approximately GBP 350 in cash. Returning to Ireland, I had a South African husband, a five month old daughter, more than one bag, a renewed passport with an older photograph and a plethora of...

The changing of the season is something we are so used to, that, unless there are extreme conditions we don’t even notice it. However, for babies, all of that is completely new. Everything from higher temperatures to shorter nights comes as a surprise to them, and it is up to the parents to guide them through this turbulent period. That will include working on new sleep routines, preventing cold...

At about 8pm on St. Stephen's day I was busy scrubbing out my oven. I wish I cold say it was because I had just finished cooking a lovely Stephen's day dinner. But it wasn't the case. Cleaning, and I mean MAJOR cleaning, seems to be something that I tend to do in times of shock, upset or sheer panic! In this instance it was due to pure shock and a little bit of panic, if I’m honest. I had just...

Orla - The Irish Mammy There is no such thing as a mammy who has it all together! Blogging and writing has always been something that I have been interested in. I follow so many other bloggers online and always leave each site thinking "I can do that. If they can start a blog, why can't I?." The one thing that stopped me was fear. I was afraid that my content wouldn't be interesting enough or that...

As a sufferer of gestational diabetes, my second pregnancy brought on sickness and insulin dependency from the second month. I was in and out of hospital for weeks at a time leaving behind my 2.5 year old despite our closeness and her clinginess to me. This, looking back was probably the beginning of my downward spiral as the due date neared I began to feel really guilty and wondered if perhaps I...
