Harper Beckham takes her first step

It has been splashed all over the newspapers today that Harper Beckham has taken her first step.  Now do we really care? Not really but let's be honest ladies, that voyeuristic side of us all took a sneaky peek at the article, am I right?  Now why did we look? Is it because we are all secretly fascinated with the Beckhams? Or is it because we are curious as to what age she is and if she's an early or late walker? 

I remember with my first child, ALL her friends were walking by 12 months and rightly so, all the mums were so chuffed.  Not my wee Tami, she started crawling at 6 months, how proud and chuffed we were until the crawling went on abit too long, actually 12 months too long and that chuffed feeling dissolved into frustration.  How I envied my friends who were able to lift their babies out the car and put them staight onto their feet or going to the park, all those gorgeous pink purchases, ruined at the knee - are the memories coming back, ladies? 

Post a comment to me and let me know your thoughts and in the meantime, have a read at the Harper Beckham article on http://www.babyexpert.com/family/celebrity-mum/harper-beckham-takes-first-steps/6329.html

Ps. Tami finally walked at almost 18 months, not long you may say but after having ONE year of crawling, boy it's too long!!

David Cameron leaves daughter in pub....

I couldn't believe it today when I read that David & Samantha Cameron left their 8 year old daughter, Nancy in a pub on her own for 15 minutes!  I know they have an entourage but how could they not realise she wasn't with them.  Funnily enough, I was discussing it with my sister who is also a mum, she made a good point - how could the minders not notice she wasn't there! Time to re-think the staff I think!

It got me thinking about when I was pregnant with my first child and the terrible fears I had about forgetting her, I pictured putting her car-seat on the pavement and driving off forgetting that she was still there, going shopping and putting the shooping in the boot and forgetting the car-seat with baby was still in the trolley!

Luckily, when my baby was born I always remembered her, but when it came to the 3rd baby.... well that's another story!!!!

Have a read of the Camerons story and I'd love to hear from mums if this sort of thing nearly or did happened to them  www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18391663

Why myHospitalBag ?

Isn't that euphoric feeling when you discover you're pregnant amazing? You can't wait to see your bump pop out, feel tearful the first time you hear the baby's heartbeat and laugh together over what to call your bundle of joy.

But as the months go on, the practicalities of preparing for a new baby become a reality. Which pram do I buy? Do I use Pampers or Huggies and aaaah.... what do I put in my hospital bag? How much do I take for me, for the baby, to hospital?

I went through all these emotions in the run up to my first baby being born. The minute my maternity leave began, out came all the baby magazines and I spent an indulgent day putting together what was to become know as my "baby bible". As the months went by friends started asking for my "baby bible" too.

It wasn't until after my third child was born that I decided to turn my baby bible into myHospitalBag.

myHospitalBag aims to make the 48 hour stay in hospital more comfortable for mum and baby during the labour and post labour stage. It contains over 35 branded & essential items, packed in a large stylish bag that you will enjoy using long after your baby is born.
