First Time At The Cinema

Hi Guys

Its been a while. Hope yous are well.

So yesterday Me, Nan and Lucas decided it was time to brave the cinema.

To be honest I was hopeful that it would be OK as there would be sweets and Lucas likes his films.

So we went to watch +Finding Dory and can I just say it was amazing. Defiantly just as good as +Finding Nemo Official

So we decided to go at 1pm so give us plenty of time for dinner and get sweets and stuff and then also get settled in our seats.

So we got our sweets which Lucas loved and headed to the room and all was well. He seemed a bit unsure but we sat in our seats and tucked into our sweets.

I would say maybe an hour into the film and he started to get a bit fidgety and wanted to move about but this could of been because Nan thought it was a good idea to buy him a magazine from #WHSmith before hand HAHA

He got up and went from knee to knee a few times then sat back down but all in all he was great. Not as scary or hard work as I first thought.

I CANT WAIT TO GO AGAIN

How was your first time with your child??

First Time Mom

When you first find out you are pregnant you are flooded with all these emotions but nothing prepares you for the first few months of being a MOM

You see on movies happy babies, nice clean houses, slim new moms and perfect little outfits on new born babies.

Lets be serious that isn't the case. At the start you are lucky if you showered that week or even got changed out of your PJs Ohh and the takeaway boxes!

Sometimes you find yourself crying because you've tried just about everything to get him/her to sleep.

Breastfeeding/Bottle feeding just doesn't seem to be working.

You and your partner just don't seem to be the same.

Each day just seems to remind you that everything you are doing just isn't right.

But ill let you in on a little secret

You ARE doing it right. You ARE amazing.

I can promise you that one day everything with seem ok. All those tears will slowly start to fade away and be replaced my laughter.

Each day is a fresh start and a new adventure.


How was your first time as a mom?

Living With Haemophilia - The Beginning (Parents Point Of View)

So for me unfortunately there was no warning that this may happen it was just all of a sudden a thing and we just had to deal with it. I can remember getting told about this word when he was 2 days old and at first I don't think I believed it or even listened to what was happening as it was all such a blur.

Maybe on day 4 we were took into a room and this is when it was confirmed this was going to be with us for the rest of our life. We were just bombarded with information about what it is, what is going to happen and my head was just so full with all this doctor-fied information that just didn't make sense.

When all this information started to sink in I just remember thinking it was the worst thing in the world and that I wouldn't have that perfect little boy I thought I was going to be having and that we wouldn't be able to do anything encase he was to fall over or cut himself as this would mean he would bleed to death.

Then he started to grow up and accidents happened. Ill always remember the first one. It was when he got his first injections as a baby and my mam was going to babysit and I just knew something wasn't right. He just wouldn't stop crying. This was probably the scariest thing ever but luckily I would say this is when it got better. Not dramatically better but better. The first time for anything is always the scariest but I feel once this is over you are sort of prepared and even experienced for the next time.

As the months went by we slowly started to find bumps and bruises and started to understand the condition more and that not all bumps and bruises are going to be a problem or that just because he has a bleeding disorder doesn't mean he bleeds any different to you and I he just doesn't clot as easy so needs a little help.

What I have learnt from the first few years of dealing with this is just take each day as it comes as each day is going to teach you a little more. You also aren't expected to know everything at the start but luckily things wont all happen at the same time either.

Thank you once again for reading. I hope one day maybe I can be there for someone else as I no I would of loved someone in my position as sometimes its frustrating because it feels no one understands.

Lots of Love

Hi Guys....So Im a little unsure what I'm doing as this seems crazy haha. But anyways I've recently been reading +Zoella first book called Girl Online and I was feeling a little inspired. But now I'm writing this I'm a little bit terrified!!

So the reason behind this is because I'm a mom but I would say I'm not your normal type of mom. The reason I say this is because when my son was 2 days old we discovered he had a bleeding disorder which meant that for the rest of his life he would need to visit a hospital and as a parent I would need to keep a closer eye on him encase he was to hurt himself.

So he has something called Haemophilia Type B which means he is missing something called Factor 9 that you and I have in our blood. I will probably get more into it in the future but for now we'll stick to basics :)

Right now the reason I thought maybe this could be a good idea is maybe to spread some knowledge on hidden disabilities and hopefully show some other parents or even just people in a similar position that we aren't alone in this and hopefully can all come together and pick each other up if needs be.

Thank you so much for reading
Lots of love
