Baby Christenings: Why I Won’t Be A Part of Them

March 29, 2018

Do you have any Godchildren? I don't. I've never been asked, which is absolutely fine with me because to be honest it's just going to be an awkward conversation.

The First Trimester of my Second Pregnancy

March 15, 2018

First Trimester Update Now I've finally announced our exciting news and that we are pregnant I wanted to give you a little run down on those first twelve weeks.
