Pram

This weekend me and Liz went pram shopping we visited the only two shops in Bedford that sell a wide range of prams the first being house of baby they were very helpful in advicing us on what was best to get and also were able to advice on one handed folds.  The second was mothercare again helpful  and also adviced on one handed folds.

Out of all the prams that were in both shops there was only two that were one hand fold the Bugaboo Bee and  the Mothercare Curv.

I tried out both of these and the latter I had issues with as you it was hard to get compact enough without the use of a second hand.

The Bugaboo on the other hand was really easy as long as I had some where I can  hold my balance as putting it up requires the use of one foot but  this pram was the best.






 Liz did point out that I would not really need to put the seat down much anyway due to y not driving but its always good to be able to do so just in case of emergencies

half way

Well we have reached the half way stage,  we had the second scan yesterday and it was amazing to see my son/ daughter moving about we beat temptation to not find out the sex, its a surprise left for the day of the birth. Loved seeing him or her moving about and wriggling.






Here he or she is, the last time we will see them till the big day

making headway

.  Things are starting to fall into place we now have the babies room painted and decorated very minimal sa we don't know the sex of baby yet.  Next adventure is buying everything for it (I am actualluyy looking forward to this part) I go into shops and I now look at baby things what I think will be a good book to read etc I have found a few that I really like the sound of and one  here they are in video format

the second is controversial  but I am sure every parent will be thinking the same thing at some stage.

Hi all

Even though this is a pretty new blog, thanks to the numbers coming to view I have been asked by HemiHelp newsletter to write an article on the exact purposes of this blog and why i felt the need to publish my thought and broadcast them to the masses which is a charity  based in the UK.

The bonuis of writing this article will be that I will be able to get more vierwers to my blog and also it will help any future  persons who have children and also suffer from hemiplegia

prams

the biggest thing that has crossed both mine and Liz's mind is prams we have been searching the internet trying to findf a pram thats light weight but also eay to use with one we have founbd a selection of travel systems thaty we are interested in buying in our price range most prams have clips you need to undo to get the seat out so that if baby is sleeping you don't have to kleave them in one room whilst you are in another . 

I am going to do some trials at a local baby shop to find out how this will work out and will update  with how I got on

this is the system that we are currently looking at









As well as testing this pram I will be getting the taga bike that I showed on an earlier post.  The reason I feel is I feel more secure on a bike than I do walking and feel more stable also
