Pregnancy and Bump Watch Week One

Hello and welcome to week one of the Pregnancy and BumpWatch linky.

This week we had our 20 week scan and Gender.

Please link up below, so that we can all read about each others journey into parenthood for the first, second, or even seventh time!!

The bump in the photo was actually taken 15 years ago today, however looking at my ever increasing bump I fear I am bigger than this already!!
If you could share a comment or two on others peoples posts that would be lovely xxx

Pregnancy Diary Week 21 - Scan and Gender !

It is a little crumpled because Tyrus has hugged it so much!!

Yesterday we went for our 20 week scan, I am pleased to say that everything was absolutely perfect. although a very wiggly baby, so Eowyn does indeed have its name right.

The scans have changed quite dramatically since I first saw Xene on the screen all those years ago, this time I could see in the brain and everything.

When we first went for  a scan with Xene we didn't find out the sex, and we decided to have a surprise with Lochlan, by the time Neva came along both children were desperate for a baby sister, so we did find out, the same happened with Kaide, that they were desperate for a baby brother, luckily all had gone the way they had hoped!!
When it got to Eowyn we decided as we had two of each it didn't matter which we had, so it was a surprise and Tyrus, my first homebirth we decided to wait and see too.

Originally with wiggly I had said I wanted to keep it a surprise, but as the weeks have progressed, I became more curious as to which baby would end my pregnancy run, as this is DEFINITELY the last one!!

Asa and I agreed that we would find out, Wiggly was extremely co-operative, and very prominent, that even if we had decided not to find out, we would have known anyway!!

Yes I can reveal that baby Morrison number seven is.....

A BOY !

So I have eventually changed the boy girl pattern, but everyone in the household is extremely excited for a little baby boy, I am hoping that he is just as chilled out and relaxed as Tyrus, but looking at him bouncing around the screen I have my doubts!!

Roll on 19 weeks time xxx

Mickey and Friends Plasters A huge hit!

Elastoplast have introduced a new pack, which includes Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto.

Now as all of you know Eowyn is a HUGE Mickey and Minnie fan, so we were eager to give the plasters a go, and knowing how lively Eowyn and Kaide are, I knew it wouldn't be too long until one of them would be on hand to give the plasters a thorough testing!!

As you can imagine with six children and a rugby playing husband, we have quite an extensive first aid box, with all sorts of plasters and bandages.
Over the years I have learnt that cheap plasters are not very cost effective, they may be cheap to purchase, but they only stay on grazed knees minutes before they fall off, making for false economy because you go through them three times as fast!!

First to try out the plasters was Eowyn, she fell and grazed her elbow, whilst being a fairy!

We decided to take the plasters on holiday with us to Butlins `just in case' surprise, surprise on our second day of swimming, Kaide slipped over and grazed both his knee and ankle, the dressing the first aider gave us was replaced very quickly by Mickey and Friends, not only were they the perfect size for quite a large scrape on his knee, but they looked cool and funky too.







The plasters RRP is £2.60 for 16 plasters, which I think is actually good value for money, considering how long they stay on for. They can be purchased at most high street retailers.
For more information on their products, you can visit www.elastoplast.co.uk 

What Shall I Dress Wiggly In ?

As you all know, I am due baby number 7 in 19 weeks, I am hoping that the second half of the pregnancy will go as quick as the first.

I have somewhere for wiggly to sleep and feeding is easy, next is clothing the baby....

I came across Kiddie Wow, which has some gorgeous  baby designer clothing, I am not one for designer clothing usually, but this site is very reasonable, and its always nice to have some `special' clothes.

I adore this romper and hat set by Lilly and Sid and could definitely see a new little baby boy in this.

But I also love this jersey dress and trouser set for a little girl.

I have a little confession, I do know what sex the baby is, and I shall reveal very shortly, so I do know which one I shall be choosing!!

The website also has clothing up to age 7, so I can also kit out Tyrus and Eowyn.

For Tyrus, these shorts are perfect for the upcoming sunshine (I hope!)

And this set would be absolutely perfect for Eowyn, she loves leggings and dresses together.

All of the children love dressing up in nice clothes, although I usually find the ages 3-5 the most challenging when they become independent and want to choose their own, we have certainly had some strange combinations over the years!!!

Roll on September when I can dress our new addition
