  • The First Journey

    With some trepidation the trip home approached. This would also be the first on an aeroplane for our Little Boy, and considering one half of the family suffers from bad ears on flights, it was a little worrying – especially as the flight is seven hours long. Purposely we had chosen a night flight as […]

  • The Birth II

    We were lucky enough to find a superb Gynaecologist who delivered our baby. Through every step of the process he helped and guided us while still managing to instil great confidence. The day eventually came when we parted ways – a healthy Baby Boy had been born and the Doctor moved on to other patients. […]

  • Beautiful Boy

    Last night we had a phone call that put back the time of the caesarian. Not psychologically the best thing that could have happened.

  • A Whole New World

    I’ve been introduced to a whole new world, and in just one shop so far. I thought a ‘buggy’ was a buggy – and that is definitely not the case. The scenarios seem to be: Easy to assemble / disassemble Engineering – a lot of thought goes into those buggies, it is utterly amazing. Multi-purpose: Just […]

  • Island Living or Talking Italian – Decision made

    I feel sad and happy all at once. We picked our names a long time ago and a lot of thought went into them. And now one has gone, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used again at some point in the future. Today we went for scan number 4, and this time they […]

  • Thoughts above the Clouds

    Here I sit, looking out at the world from my seat 34,000 ft above the planet thinking how small and inconsequential we are. But at the same time, there is a small place, a person, who to me is the most important thing in the world. Almost two weeks ago good news arrived and that’s […]
