Today I had three tasks to perform. 1.) Write a birth plan.2.) Put the co-sleeper up in my bedroom.3.) Tidy the flat. I have failed at all three. I did at least attempt number two, but it appears to be beyond my capabilities to piece together any kind of furniture in a secure manner befitting…

Confusion: Too many choices….
Now I appreciate that this sounds like an odd thing to say, and also as if I m moaning (again) but sitting on this sofa really isn’t the pleasant and comfortable experience that DFS intended it to be.

Bloated Whale
Urgh. Lounging on the sofa like a bloated whale. And every now and again my belly goes all hard and pointy, and I am told that this may be a Braxton Hicks contraction. I had thought it was just the baby moving around. Still, hopefully this means that by the time I finally go into…

Alcohol: Taunting Me With Its Presence
Currently lying on the sofa recovering from a very strenuous weekend. I stayed up until 1am on Friday (1am!), then had my baby shower yesterday and finally topped it all off with a breastfeeding class today. Luckily we didn’t have to get our boobs out at the latter (or the former, both of which would…
