Stuck On You Personalised Teddy Bear

| August 5, 2012

Imogen loved her Teddy Bear from the day it arrived

Stuck On You kindly asked if we would like to review one of their personalised products.

After looking at the adorable range of gifts for babies and children we decided on the Personalised Teddy Bear for Imogen. She adores teddy bears and to have one with her name on makes it extra special!

My husband and I had great fun choosing the Teddy Bear and personalising it for Imogen. We selected the Girl Teddy Bear with Imogen’s name written in Red with a Freestyle font.

Imogen’s Personalised Teddy Bear wears a cute white t-shirt with her name across the front and a linen skirt.

Imogen loves the softness of this Teddy Bear and enjoys snuggling up with her at story time.

The Teddy Bear is light in weight so Imogen can easily transport her around the house, push her in her toy buggy and take her out for adventures in the park.

Measuring approximately 40 cm in height this Teddy Bear is a wonderful size for babies, toddlers and children alike.

Easton Farm Park

| July 29, 2012

We spent a wonderful day at Easton Farm Park when we were on holiday in Suffolk recently.

Easton Farm Park is located near Woodbridge. To get there we drove through beautiful winding country roads, forests and farmland.

There’s a wide range of farm animals for children to see and feed including pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats and horses.

Imogen loved the tractors that are available for children to ride on. She couldn’t reach the pedals so Mummy and Daddy had fun driving her around the farm!

We all rode on a pony and cart which was a delightful experience for Imogen, being her first experience of a pony.

It was wonderful to see Imogen relate to the farm animals. We’ve read plenty of books with stories about farm animals and tractors so Easton Farm Park really brought this alive.

Easton Farm Park is very well organised with timed events giving families the ability to enjoy everything the farm has to offer.

The train ride is lots of fun for parents and children. It took us around the animal yard and past some of the horses in the paddocks.

And if you get caught by rain, as we did, there’s a large soft play centre for babies and children that includes a soft swing, ball pits and slides.

The outdoor play area has swings, slides and a flying fox for older children.

There are pony rides and hug a bunny sessions. Imogen desperately wanted to ride a pony when she saw the older children on them. We compromised and she happily settled for wearing a riding hat whilst watching the children ride the ponies!

It was a great day out and we’ll be sure to go back next time we’re in Suffolk.

You’re Pregnant! What Next?

| July 1, 2012

Congratulations on finding out you are pregnant!

It’s an exciting time and if it’s your first pregnancy you’ll no doubt have lots of questions and concerns.

The average pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks or 280 days from the first day of your last period.

Did you know?

Only 5% of babies arrive on your estimated due date!

My baby was 11 days late, so I was pregnant for almost 42 weeks. Every day after my estimated due date seemed like the longest day of my life, waiting and waiting for baby to arrive!

Find out how many weeks pregnant you are and calculate your due date with the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator.

What next?

Make an appointment to see your GP. Your GP will run through some standard who will ask you which hospital you want to have your baby in.

I had a choice of two hospitals in London. Prior to my GP appointment I’d researched these thoroughly and checked out their maternity wards and facilities, so I knew which hospital I wanted to have my antenatal checks in as well as the birth of my baby.

Jot down a list of questions you may have and see if your GP can provide any advice.

I’d been taking Vitabiotics Pregnacare Conception whilst we were trying to conceive. As soon as I knew I was pregnant I started taking Vitabiotics Pregnacare Plus Omega 3 and continued to take these throughout my entire pregnancy. These multivitamins plus Omega 3 ensured my baby and I had all the essential nutrients we needed, including the recommended level of 400mcg folic acid.

I read What To Expect When You’re Expecting and recommend this to all expectant mothers.

There’s a wealth of pregnancy resources available online. Here are the internet sites I found most helpful when I was pregnant:
