Oxford Mail

Rachael Walsh, an office manager in Oxford, was as surprised as anyone when she fell pregnant so quickly after the birth of her first daughter 13 months ago, and is now wondering how she'll cope
with two tiny children.
Answers on a postcard please. She is due in November and having got back into work and her pre-baby clothes is dreading going through it all again, while at the same time being delighted she's
pregnant.

We Are Family

We went to a family party on last Saturday night.

A bit of a pain!

Bump is getting heavier and bigger but doing well.

Jab and job

Bump is becoming increasingly active and growing at a rate of knots, I am as big now as I was at 9 months with baby one.

Will be HUGE?

Bump is becoming increasingly active and growing at a rate of knots, I am as big now as I was at 9 months with baby one; I was advised that I would be a bit bigger second, but I’m worried I’m carrying a 10lb baby around, luckily at the moment it is all bump and has not spread elsewhere (Yet!!!).

Shock and disbelief

We went to a BBQ at the weekend where much of my time was spent defending my decision to have our children so close to each other and my decision to return to work which was met by a mixture of disbelief and horror.

Interesting

‘Bump’ is doing well, moving loads and big sister is becoming increasingly interested in what’s growing inside and is regularly burying her head into my tummy or slapping it to wake the baby up to feel her moving.

Holiday time

Went on holiday to Kefalonia last week, the combination of me being 5 ½ months pregnant, a lively 13 month year old and a 6ft husband crammed into 2 seats on a packed 3 hour flight was sure to be recipe for disaster or so I thought!

Starter for 10

After several years of trying for a baby and one failed attempt at fertility treatment, miraculously I found myself falling pregnant naturally.
