My daughter's 1st birthday

Y'all, am I the only one who overly stresses over my child's 1st birthday?? Like she's turning 1 in 1 week and 4 days and her birthday lands on Easter Sunday. I have not done any planning for her birthday or Easter. I'm honestly kind of freaking out lol

No need to panic! As long as you are spending time with her thats all that matters, right?!. Grab a little pressie for her that she can use in the year to come. Pop out and buy some buffet food and ask a few close family and friends over on a day that works for you! Simple but effective

I went to Dollar Tree and made my 10 month old a basket and added his for snacks purchased from the grocery store. No stress for Easter. Maybe collaborate Easter and do something spring with spring collars

Im on the same boat. I was planning on inviting other kids but I was over stressing so I canceled that and now Im just going to do something intimate just the three of us. Now, the problem is, I have some unicorn decorations but last night I was looking at girly color dinosaur decorations and my baby went crazy. She loves Dinosaur and unicorns. I guess thats our decorations now. 🤷‍♀️ I still have to find a recipe for her cake. 😆

Bleeding while you pregnant…

I'm six weeks pregnant with my second child. At the beginning of the pregnancy, I had some light spotting. At five weeks, I had an ultrasound and a blood test for hCG levels. The ultrasound showed a bleeding wound, but it doesn't affect pregnancy. My hCG increased by 169% in two days. After all these tests, I no longer saw blood on the toilet paper after going to the bathroom. Then yesterday, I had a little difficulty going to the bathroom, and after that, I saw a small amount of blood on the toilet paper again. Nothing today. I'm going for an ultrasound on Friday, but I'm still uneasy. Has anyone else had this?

Bad back

Is anyone else's back in absolute shambles? Both my upper back and lower back where my tailbone is, is constantly aching and it hurts to rotate and move sometimes 😅

Growth scan at 34 weeks

Hi, I went to the midwife yesterday and have been referred for an urgent growth scan as baby has dropped from the 90th to 40th percentile over the last three measurements. Has anyone experienced this? So stressful 😔

Julia Donaldson Party

Hi all, I’m throwing a Julia Donaldson party for my soon to be one year old but finding it hard to find decorations etc!

I have a sign, banner, zog and Gruffalo cupcakes and of course a cake! Also going to bring some books and toys to display.

Just wondered if anyone has done anything similar and could share any ideas?

I know he won’t remember but I want to make it amazing. We aren’t renting a soft play we’re just buying a slide set and a ball pit etc so my son can use them at home! So I just to make sure the theme pops so I can take lots of pictures and show him when he’s older!

Is It Just Me?

Is it just me, or are babies these days developing in their own completely unique way and fast!!

My little one is 6 months now, and honestly it feels like every week brings something new.

Sitting up started around 4–5 months, even though tummy time has never been the favourite activity. Rolling is no problem, but the real interest now is in attempting to shuffle around and explore
Standing with support has become a whole new hobby — anything sturdy enough becomes a piece of “furniture gym equipment.”
Weaning began at 4 months, and by 5 months there was already interest in snacks labelled for 7 months and up. And despite all the movement and curiosity, sleeping in their own crib has been completely fine too.

It’s fascinating watching how different babies grow at their own pace — some rush ahead in certain areas, some take their time, and all of it is perfectly normal. They really do come with their own little blueprint.

My LO definitely needs to slow down 🤣😅
