My weight loss, Tigerboy’s weight gain. Not that I’ve been anywhere to have him weighed again, I’m just concentrating on feeding him as much as possible. Which makes doing anything else kind of difficult. Today I haven’t even managed to … Continue reading

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

We’re here again – hospital adventure part two.
10.38. Today’s nurse didn’t seem to care whether we ended up sitting with a bunch of possibly infectious children til I pointed it out, so now we’re in a room at least. No cot, so again I’m pleased I brought … Continue reading
I am scared.
Scared that there is something wrong with my child. That he’s ill and I’m failing him. That I’m making the wrong choices. Scared that I’m going to spend more time uncomfortable and stressed in a hospital environment where ppl won’t … Continue reading

What I want today
Is a teacup that would beep at me to tell me when my tea is ready to drink. Ok, it’s not what I really want. What I really want is not to be going to the hospital again tomorrow, not … Continue reading

This is why I hate hospitals.
Arrived five minutes early and went to Paediatric Assessment unit. To be told it’s moved in the ten days since I last visited it. Carry heavy car seat back out into corridor and go back on myself. See that there … Continue reading

Four weeks in.
Can’t quite believe I’ve been a mum of four for four weeks. Milestones are racking up and sailing by almost without me noticing. The first 24 hours, first week, next one will be first month. It feels like I just … Continue reading

While he sleeps
Sometimes I hurry and scurry into the kitchen, and gobble food while loading the washer and rushing the washing up. Sometimes I scrabble for a shower, and luxuriate in the temporary bliss of cleanliness before I am reanointed in dripping … Continue reading

A difficult review to write: The Sea on our Skin by Madeleine Tobert.
This is a book I’ve been flirting with on and off for months, never quite sure why I couldn’t get into it, and determined to sit down and give it proper attention at some point. Today was the day, I’ve … Continue reading
