I was sorting out all my photos onto disk yesterday thought it was about time, would honestly cry if my laptop died and I lost them all. Anyway as I was sorting them I was looking at them and remembering good times.
We went to Edinburgh last year when I was about 24 weeks pregnant, a last little break just the two of us. It was freezing and everywhere was covered in snow but it's the best short break I've been on. I've always loved Dublin, but thinking about it I may actually prefer Edinburgh. I just fell in love with the city. Perhaps it's just because Ant and me had just a great time? I guess I'll just have to go back again one day to make sure it's as magical. <3

Bags...
I really want a new bag and I made the fatal mistake of browsing accessorize's website this morning and now I have fallen in love with way to many bags. They are all so pretty and girlie and just gorgeous - shame they are so expensive too. Dam it, I need to be rich. I think I would own half of the shop if I had the momeny, everything there is lovely.
I'll show you a few I adore...

That's just three, there are so many more gorgeous ones!
So what do you think? Pretty aren't they?
I wonder if Joshua would like to buy me one for Mothers day? Think I will start dropping hints around his daddy!

Co-Sleeping
Would you? Wouldn’t you?
Before Joshua was born I swore I would never have him in my bed at night time, especially when he was tiny. Fear of rolling on him or suffocating him, made the thought impossible. However when he was a few weeks old he was in my bed every night and I thought nothing of it. I co-slept to protect my sanity; Joshua fed every two hours day and night. That was two hours from the start of the feed not the end – so feeding him, then trying to get him back into his own bed took time and I felt like the living dead. So into my bed he came, we fed lying down and went back to sleep when we were. Some woman can even sleep while their babies are feeding, that HAS to be a benefit right? Yet people are quick to criticize. People always say ‘You need to cut that habit out NOW, or he will never leave.’
Yes I admit at 8 months old he is still sleeping in my bed for part of the night every night – but we all sleep better, and really enjoy co-sleeping so what’s the problem?
Many co-sleeping parents report that their children become willing to leave, with little or no persuasion, on their own around age two or three, as they mature physically, emotionally and cognitively. These families also report that there are many ways to help children find their own sleeping space. Co-sleeping families tend not to see things in terms of habits that need to be broken, but as patterns that can be established, but that continually evolve and change. For co-sleeping families, laying the foundation for security and closeness takes precedence over early independence.
It’s true isn’t it? How many 16 year olds still share the bed with the parents? None - exactly. So I have every faith in Joshua that he will sleep in his own room when he is ready and until then if he needs me and wants to be close to me then that is what he shall get. I find too many people want babies to be independent, to sleep through the night on their own from as young as possible. It’s like a competition between some mothers... apparently a friend of a friends baby slept through every night from day 1! I am sorry but I don’t believe this, and if it’s true then what the hell? Babies that young need feeding though the night! I got sick of people telling me I had to stop feeding Joshua at night as he didn’t need it, that he was waking up out of habit... but no I was right he wasn’t waking out of habit, he was having a bottle because he was hungry and like I told everyone he would, he stopped having the bottle on his own with no influence from me. So why should co-sleeping be any different?
He’ll suffocate...another popular one! Actually no he won’t if you co-sleep correctly and there is research that has proved co-sleeping reduces the risk of SIDS. Don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t put baby on a pillow, give baby their own blanket and do not cover them with you duvet...all common sense things really.
Does co-sleeping have any effect on SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)?
Actually, it appears so! Studies have discovered that in cultures where co-sleeping is a common practice, SIDS rates are at their lowest. Conversely, where co-sleeping is least likely, the rate of SIDS is highest. These two facts have led researchers to suggest a strong link between co-sleeping and lower risk of SIDS. Why? Evidence suggests that some babies may have abnormal sleep patterns, or sleep apnoea, in which, during an unusually deep sleep, they forget to breathe. Co-sleeping may help address this problem via two paths. One is simply that, if a parent is nearby, any disturbances or problems with breathing are more likely to be noticed. Furthermore, evidence also suggests that babies may regulate themselves to the parent's breathing patterns, so simply being close by may also help reduce your baby's SIDS risk.
I found that I was very aware of Joshua’s presence and I still am, the moment he wakes up I wake up. Even now he can crawl, I don’t fear that he will fall from the bed as there is no possibility that he could have time to wake up and crawl out of bed before I woke up. I don’t know what it is, perhaps it’s just a mothers instinct?!
Co-sleeping promotes sensitivity. Many parents who co-sleep feel that they become more attuned to their baby and child. They feel that their sensitivity to the needs and patterns of their baby translate into daytime sensitivity as well. - I agree with this, I feel I am completely tuned with my baby, that is not saying that parents who don’t co-sleep are not equally as tuned but personally I feel that this has helped us bond a lot.
It reduces bedtime struggles. -100% agree!! We have tried to get him to sleep at 2am in his room and he fights and fights, but bring him into our bed and he goes straight back to sleep.
Parents of co-sleepers know that children who sleep in their parents'' room have no reason to be afraid of bedtime. As they grow older and move into their own rooms, they have positive, secure images of sleeptime. They have no reason to equate bedtime with being alone. – too many children hate the dark and get scared at bedtime, I hope I have gone some way to teaching Joshua that night time is safe!
It fosters an environment of acceptance. Underlying the choice to co-sleep is a willingness to accept a child's need for the parent both day and night. A parent essentially communicates that while the child is small and needful, the parent will be there to help the child and address their needs. Co-sleeping parents tend to believe that this willingness to respond to the child's needs carries over into the daytime, and this powerfully contributes to the overall relationship with the child. –I don’t co-sleep all night, only when Joshua wakes and I bring him from his cot to my bed and only if he wants to. I believe in letting him lead me with his cues. I do not believe I am creating a spoilt child, I believe I am teaching him to trust me 100% and letting him know that any time he needs me then I will be there for him.
Co-sleeping is just as safe or safer than a crib. Existing studies do not prove that co-sleeping is inherently hazardous. The elements of the sleeping environment are what dictate the level of danger to the infant. When non-smoking parents who do not abuse alcohol or drugs sleep on a firm mattress devoid of fluffy bedding, co-sleeping is a safe environment. In addition, it is likely that there are many children whose lives have been saved by sleeping next to their parents. There is anecdotal evidence, for instance, of mothers who have noticed their child not breathing and were able to stimulate them to breathe. – Have already written about this!
I have no clue if people are interested in reading post like this, but it’s something I feel passionate about and I wanted to share my experiences with people.

Supernatural
My favourite television show has to be Supernatural, it’s not something I ever thought I would get in to. I never had an interest in demons, vampires and all things supernatural and evil. The show is about two brothers, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) who were raised by their father John; who hunts all things evil. Their mother Mary was killed during the night when Sam was only 6 months old, she was found pinned to the ceiling on fire and bleeding from the stomach. Series one starts with Dean tracking down his brother and persuading him to join the ‘family business’ to help track down their missing father.
The show is on series five now and has me as hooked now as I was when I first began to watch. The evil cliff hangers at the end of episodes mean you have to tune into the next one. Series four took a turn that I never imagined it was going to take (stop reading now if you don’t want it ruined). They brought in ‘Angels’ - Castiel (Misha Collins), when they auditioned for the part of Castiel they didn’t tell the auditionees what the part was. Keeping the idea completely secret until the series was aired. Season 4 is packed full of drama and is my favourite season. Dean came back from the dead, haunted with images of the things he was forced to do in Hell. Sam turns to the dark-side, and the brothers race to stop Lilith from opening the 66 seals to free Lucifer.
If the amazing storylines aren’t enough to make you want to watch the main characters might persuade you. Jensen and Jared are bought absolutely gorgeous – at least I think so, and I know a fair few people who will agree with me.

What do you think? Who’s better looking? It has to be Jensen for me, helped by the fact that he gets the BEST lines in the show.
Dean: Man you fugly
Dean: Ya know she could be faking.
Sam:Yeah, what do you wanna do, poke her with a stick?
(Dean nods)
Sam: Dude, you're not gonna poke her with a stick!
Dean : You fudging touch me again, I'll fudging kill you!
Dean: Shut your pie hole
Dean: I'm Batman!
Sam: Yeah, you're Batman...
That’s just a few of them, but I might share some more another day if I can think up some more.
I think I have babbled enough about Supernatural for today, but it might not be the last time I talk about it. I just love it so much

Raindrops on Roses
‘And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are few of my favourite things’
Don’t ask me why, but I have this song stuck in my head. So I thought it would be a good time to share some of my favourite things with you.
Smell: Homemade cakes baking
Sounds: Babies giggles, it’s a sure fire why to put a smile on my face.
Movies: I love Chick flicks and my all time favourite is Dirty Dancing. I love everything about the film. The songs, the dances, the lines, the actors. Also like pretty much everything with Johnny Depp in.
Tv Shows: Supernatural is probably the only show that I have seen every episode and would watch them all again. You can’t beat a bit of Friends though, I will never tire of that show. Other American comedy like Will and Grace and Two and a half men.
Music: Anyone who knows me, knows I have a big weakness for Westlife. A few other faves are snow patrol, Pink and Bon Jovi.
Places: As corny as this will sound, anywhere that I’m with my son. Also love Ireland so much, have done ever since I was a small child. Edinburgh is a beautiful city and I hope to be able to go there again one day.
Books: Pride and Prejudice. Books that I have read recently that I loved are by Cecelia Ahern... The Gift and The book of tomorrow.
Things to do: Go to concerts, shopping, watching movies and I like to do these things with all my loved ones. I love to write and I love to read, which you have probably already grasped from my previous posts.
Anyway they are just a few of my favourite things, and honestly the song is right. When I am feeling down, thinking of my favourite things helps to make me feel better.

Uh-Oh Feeling Broody!!
Yes I am talking about babies AGAIN! I know I talk about them far to often, but you know what? I'm not going to apologise. My baby is the MOST important person in my life so it's expected that I want to talk about him so much, if I bore you then ... well I guess you don't need to read on!
I was shopping with one of my friends today, trying to get ideas for when her baby is born. Looking at all those tiny tiny little baby clothes got me really broody. Yes I know my son is still a baby and not even 8 months old yet, but it's so hard to imagine he was ever small enough to fit into new born clothes. Smaller infact as New born clothes were massive on him, even the tiny baby clothes were a little big in the beginning. It seems a distant memory now though. I'd love to be pregnant again right now ... although at the same time it scares the hell out of me, would be scary!
I am one of these crazy women who absolutely loved being pregnant, I guess because I had a nice easy pregnancy. I loved the way I looked and was one time in my life that I wasn't worrying about my weight. I knew i was huge, but it didn't matter.
Joshua is close to crawling, although he has a strange technique of pushing up onto his hands and feet, not his knees. Maybe he'll just skip crawling and walk, as he is a very efficient roller, can get to everything that he wants. Cuteness!
Anyway enough baby babble from me!

Twillight
I have jumped on the Twillight bandwagon, I saw the film and enjoyed it and everyone is always raving about how great the books are. So I decided to borrow them from my niece. Read twilight in 4 nights, I just couldn’t put it down – really had a hold on me. Now I have started New Moon, wasn’t going to because I was tired last night when I went to bed but I couldn’t resist and had to open it up and read.
I think I may have fallen in love with Edward Cullen (the vampire for those who don’t know), not the actor in the film but the character in the book. He doesn’t look like the actor (what’s his name?) I imagine him slightly different – that’s the joy of books one part I enjoy the most is being able to visual the characters and scenes allowing them to play out in your mind as your eyes follow the words on the pages. Stephanie Meyer seems to have a real skill with her words, to me a good author can bring the words to life.
There is so much I love about the book but one quote that sticks out in my mind is the one below.

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
Bella Swan, Twilight
What are your thoughts on the quote? Do you think it is reasonable to grieve when an unexpected dream comes to an end? Or should you not just rejoice in the memories of the good times that the dream brought? I’m with the second option. What about you? Would like to hear your thoughts.

Friends!
‘A friend is one of the nicest thing you can have, and one of the best things you can be.’
- Douglas Pagel
I saw this quote the other evening when I was browsing a forum and I really liked it. It's so true. Good friends are rare and hard to find but when you do they are the best and nicest things to have.
That's all, just a short one for tonight! Just wanted to share this quote with you all

Hodilays!!!
Yes I did type it hodilays not holidays on purpose! It’s how my best friend always says it!
Why are holidays so stressful? All the planning and preparation. Holiday was booked and paid and we were going to Tunisia on in April, then our confirmation came through and most of the bars and restaurants were going to be all closed at the hotel. Not a happy bunny... so off we traipsed to the travel agents and now we are going to Egypt. Was a nightmare trying to find a suitable holiday for the same dates. We now have to go a day later which means we’ll be travelling on Ant’s 30th which sucks for him, we wanted to be there for it.
Passports are driving me mad too, Joshua needs an English one, I need an Irish one. After finally finding someone who can sign them we got that part sorted. Paid the post office to check Joshua’s and send it for us – we should have been receiving it back at the beginning of next week but a letter arrives today telling us that we only send one photo. We bloody didn’t, so either the post office lost it after they checked it, or the passport office lost it when they opened it. Neither will take responsibility and ended up blaming the poor postman. What do they think he did, steam opened the envelope steal the signed photo and reseal it *rolls eyes* I think not!! SO now we have to go back to the guy who signed it and get another one signed and sent off. It’s all such a pain! Seriously hope this holiday will be worth it.
Today’s been a bad day! First the passport hassle, then my little man was sick everywhere twice. He won’t take his milk, and all he has eaten all day is half a yoghurt. Poorly little boy – but he keeps smiling, bless his heart. He’s the happiest baby I have ever known. Then I put the wrong house number for some photos I ordered and they have been despatched. Muppet! Good job it’s my parents next door neighbour and they can go and get them for me!
Think it’s time for hot chocolate and here’s to a better day tomorrow! xxx
