On a personal note
As I move towards being 42 weeks pregnant, things will be slowing down here just little bit on Kiddley.com. Since launching we have endeavoured to post something every day - which I am proud to say we have managed to do with the exception of yesterday! With the arrival of child number two the Kiddley staff will no doubt be preoccupied with feeding, sleeping, burping, bathing and so on for a bit, so while we will still be here and still posting, it may not be with quite so much regularity. Hopefully this will only be for a relatively short time. AJ is still crafting and playing and getting used to being photographed in her guinea pig role. We are still plotting and planning great ideas for you to share with your kids and readers with small babies may be pleased to find an explosion of baby ideas coming up in the next few months!
As always, if you have any bright ideas or fun activities please feel welcome to send them in to us. We have had such a great response so far and we thank you!
You can get alerts when we publish so you'll never miss a post.

Claire, I went 43 weeks and 3 days with my 2nd baby, and oh, how that wait can be excruciating when you just want to meet your wee and have them be earthside already! So, straightaway I am sending some positive birthing and labor vibes your way. And, much as we will miss your postings to Loobylu and/or Kiddley, I hope you take ample time away for your babymoon. Warmest, best wishes to you and your growing family!

Totally reasonable. Kiddley is a great site and I’ve been enjoying it very much. Will look forward to reading it when you find the time to post.
Perhaps you could have some guest posters if you’re pushed for time?

Ditto on the labor vibes- brew some raspberry tea and rest- good luck to you and your family, and thanks for an amazing site in Kiddley.

Claire,
We’re thinking good thoughts for your from the US, too! I thought you’d find it amusing that when you hit 40 weeks, I mentioned to my husband that I was checking your site several times a day to see if you’d headed for the hospital yet. Now HE’S asking if you’ve had the baby yet … and he doesn’t read either site!
I love the content you’re posting on Kiddley, and your regular site, too. We’ll miss the daily updates, but I know it’s much more important for you to take some time to relax and enjoy the new baby. Take care, be safe, and give Kiddley Junior a big smooch from all of her cyber-aunties!

another mama here who went 42 weeks + 6 days with her second, so i know how anxious you’re probably feeling. i hope you have a wonderful birth and look forward to reading more great things after you’ve had a chance to bond with your precious wee.
