Although I have had experience with Kieran, from toddler onwards, this will be my first Baby. No doubt there are many, many things I could never prepare for so I have decided to document them here... Wish me luck!

After 4 years we have finally have to give up All our cats :(Drew has been suffering from quite bad Eczema,(obviously which he inherited from me!) and we have been advised by the Health Visitor & Doctor that there is a possibility that he could be allergic to cats too.We have been in turmoil over this for months now, on the one hand there is the problem of getting rid of all the cats only to find

After a delay of 4 days from the due date, baby drew finally made an appearance.Diane's waters had broke just after 7:00pm so we dropped Kieran off at her sisters house & made our way to Wigan Maternity unit.Previously we had been to see a specialist at Leigh who did an examination, (which is very undignified for anyone who has had one) this in most cased encourages labour within 48 hours.I

Not been many updates for a while, a poor attempt at explaining why can be found on the newspage of the website.Also since we had the 4-D scan & finally finished the bedroom, it's pretty much been a process of waiting. We have been for a few Midwife visits (one particular whom was horrible) but up until now he has slowly been getting bigger & not much else.The last visit was on Tuesday 12th Dec.

After a bit of a disastrous start the spare room has finally been painted.It's weird that you don't realise how much crap you can fit in one small room until you have to remove it. I presumed that most of the space was taken up by the bed, but even with that removed there was still a lot of other stuff in there too. Mind you I suppose all unused junk gets put in the spare room & you don't really

Still images from the 4-D Video Scan - Tuesday 12th September 2006Today we went for one of those new fangled 4-D scans at Inner-Vision in Warrington. Anyone who is having/thinking about a baby, I would definitely recommend this. The whole experience is far better than what you get to see at the Hospital scans. You can tell from looking at the photos, it actually looks like a baby! This was

Third Scan - Wednesday 26th July 2006We had our third scan today, very early at Leigh Hospital for 9:10am. This time with Kieran along for the ride, were really confident of a baby show. Diane has started feeling movement, tuesday night was particluarly busy, after a smoothie drink sent the baby doing summersaults!Meybe we're a bit too early, the staff are runing around like they're not ready yet

Second Scan - Tuesday 13th July 2006We had our second scan today, back at Leigh Hospital at 4:00pm. With mum in tow we were determined to see some good pictures and find ou the sex. Much to my relief, we were there a bit longer this time, so we got to see a bit more of what the different bits are. On this scan we could see the heartbeat, a little black area moving bigger & smaller as the baby

First Scan - Tuesday 30th May 2006We had our first scan today at Leigh Hospital at 1:00pm. We were only in there for what seemed like 2 minuites. I was hoping for a bit longer but there wasn't really alot to see. They really just make sure there is something there and it has a healthy heartbeat.What can you see in this picture?Not alot really, this is still quite early, most of the growing comes
