Aliventures Break (While Ali Has Another Baby!)

14 Nov 2014 | Old post

Ali-Nick-bump-35-weeks

Baby bump at 35.5 weeks.

It’s been a little under two years since my last blogging break … and, as many Aliventures readers know, my husband and I are expecting our second child, a little brother for Kitty, due 15th December 2014.

Once again, I’m taking a few months of maternity leave. I won’t be publishing any new posts or sending out any newsletters, and plan to be back around April/May 2015.

    Hi Ali,

    Here’s hoping that everything goes well with baby.

    Best regards

    Shoo – that’s quite a baby bump Ali! 🙂 Hope all went well with the arrival of the little one! 🙂

    Yup, @Deevra’s right, is it heavy? I’ve always wondered if babies were heavy – not in the 70’s slang way you understand 🙂 but weight-wise? Wishing you both well and looking forward to reading more from you.

    Hope you’ve have plenty of chances to put your feet up and take it easy.

    Hi Ali, great blog!

    I work for Drink Wise, an organisation which works on behalf of local authorities in the North West to raise awareness of alcohol harm, and ways to reduce the negative impacts of alcohol.

    We recently did some work alongside the National Obesity Forum around the calorific content of alcohol, for National Obesity Awareness Week.

    It would be great if you can support our current campaign, which gives people a chance to have their say on the impact of alcohol via the #DrinkWiseChallenge: goo.gl/pzhb4P.

    Hope to be able to work with you at some point in the not-too-distant future!
