burble: May 2012

Thursday, 31 May 2012. Or: Holy Crap it's getting close! My midwife came to see us at home on Tuesday to discuss "THE BIRTH" and also to squeal at a bundle of fluffy animal print nappies, our (fac,eb.ook) wedding photos, our rings, my dress. However. When examining my bump and prodding around A LOT. She decided that Marmaduke was head down (hooray! Unfortunately he is still moving about quite a bit but it's nice to know that he is capable of finding his own way to the exit. If I go into labour naturally ...

burble: March 2012

Thursday, 29 March 2012. The midwife rubbed her hands together and said, "Ooh let's have a good feel". And she did. Prodded and pressed, Marmaduke was lying obliquely, back and head down, diagonally across my belly. Then he moved so she chased him around with the doppler for a while whilst he moved again and again, "He is active isn't he. Wonderful! And a good size too." I heard the cord whooshing and his heart knocking. All good. There is pain and there are twinges but nothing she. 15 weeks left. Or...

burble: June 2012

Sunday, 24 June 2012. 36 weeks 4 days. Boucher is his middle name). At about 6.30 am on Monday I felt a weird twinge in my ladyparts and decided I needed the toilet. By the time I got to the bathroom I was drenched. "oh" was about all I could manage. I sat on the toilet and leaked for a while and then I finally woke up and realised that what was going on was actually going on. Ray, I think My waters broke". Ray woke up in an instant and became super organised. Before things became scary. By the evening I...

burble: An adventure
http://barbaraboucher.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-sat-in-hot-tub-alone-for-moment.html
Tuesday, 28 October 2014. I sat in the hot tub, alone for the moment, leaned back and looked up at the starry sky (the only starry sky we saw whilst away) and I sang "Golden slumbers". First to George and then to Little Poppet. Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,. Smiles await you when you rise. Do not cry,. And I will sing a lullaby. Cares you know not,. While over you a watch I'll keep. Do not cry,. And I will sing a lullaby. And I cried for my babies because they are not asleep. The secret garden meeting.

Saturday, 20 October 2012. I can hardly believe that it's been 4 whole years since I looked at my tiny little boy, kissed his nose and said "I'm sorry". Today we are going on an adventure as we have done for the last 2 years. Only this time it will be different. We DO have the baby in the back seat. We DO have the tons of accoutrements that follow us around these days. This year we DO have the sleepless nights, the worry, the joy and the love. Oh so much l o. But just for one. Where there should be three.

burble: April 2012
http://barbaraboucher.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 April 2012. We bought a pram! Holy crap how's that for optimism? It's a second hand bargain from eb.ay arriving tomorrow. This one in red. With the carrycot, footmuff and raincovers for a whole hellofalot less than the new price. After buying it I was panic stricken for a while. Should I have? Is it too soon? Am I tempting fate? Wait a moment. I don't believe in fate. And then I got over it. Sort of. It was a bargain. And now we just have. To get this seat. Marmaduke was head up this time.
