First Time Baby is sitting up by herself. 6 and a half months old and she is sitting by herself for quite a while now. Occasionally she does fall over and you have to prop her up again, because she can't actually do the sitting up part herself yet, but we're getting there! read more »

Once more I'm sitting on a train on my way home. I think I must spend most of my life sitting on a train, although at least it allows me to get some work done, or to sleep! read more »
Leaving your baby whilst away on Business

Well I'm sitting on the Eurostar, whizzing my way across, or rather, under the channel on my way to a conference in Brussels. My wife and baby, however, are still back in Blighty, back the other side, the garden of England side of the tunnel. I miss them both already. read more »
First Time Baby is three weeks old now and things are going well! First Time Mum and I are getting used to nights of broken sleep and bizarely I actually seem to be getting more productive, not less.
First Time Baby likes night time. She has decided that day time is nice and everything, but night time is great! Night time is wake time! read more »
Food cravings, we've all heard the stories, laughed at them, at the thought of our partner wanting jelly and pickle in the middle of the night. Well guess what. They're true.
First Time Mum wants garlic. She craves garlic. Baby wants garlic. Garlic bread, garlic in spaghetti bolognaise, raw cloves of garlic.
I'm not a doctor (as Alanis Morisette once said), I am also not a nutritionist. But I am fairly certain that Baby doesn't actually want garlic, baby want something found in garlic. So tappety-tap, the internet is your friend. Sure enough I come across some factual information/something someone made up for a laugh, about the stuff in garlic. Luckily for First Time Mum, me, baby, and anyone who sits remotely near First Time Mum... apparently the same 'stuff' can be found in celery. Let's try celery sticks instead. read more »
My wife took the preganancy test this morning. I'm fairly certain we are pregnant, as all the symptoms seem to be developing. The heightened sense of taste and smell, the cravings seem to be starting, along with the lower back pain, the veins indicating increased blood flow etc.
Yes all the symptoms of pregnancy have started. I'm sure they shouldn't all start yet, but then at the same time, I'm not really sure exactly when I thought they should start? read more »
