About Me

I'm Elli, a new mum to the amazing, life-changing, 6 week old (in March 2012) Joshua. I'm also an IT Project Manager for a global manufacturing company. My two jobs couldn't be more different really and I admit I was really daunted at the idea of a year away from work to look after my son. I've never been a particularly maternal person, one of those women you look at and think they were born to be a mum, but I've surprised myself and Josh has surprised me. What I feel about him is indescribable and he's easily the best thing I've ever done.

To try to find my way through this year and record some of the things I felt and some of Josh's milestones, I started this blog. Hopefully some of what I learn along the way might be useful to you too :) If you've just started reading, please get in touch, I'd love to meet some of you and discover your blogs!

  2. Hi,
    Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful son! My name is Ash and I have recently set up Petite Maman, an online shop selling smaller sized nursing bras (A and B cup). After struggling to find any bras in my size (I was 34AA pre-pregnancy), I decided to start my own business filling in this niche product market, offering great quality bras that are feminine but actually fit a smaller figure too!
    At the moment I am advertising my shop through facebook and forums but would love the chance to reach more mums/mums-to-be through your fabulous hiccups and haydays blog. In my experience breastfeeding can be tough enough without having to worry about finding a well-fitting bra!
    Would there be a possibility of you posting information about what Petite Maman offers? I’d really appreciate any help/suggestions you could give me.

    Best wishes
