Brain atrophy
In an attempt to avoid brain atrophy, I bought a couple of books today. One serious and one not so serious. Advance Australia Where, by Hugh McKay and Road to Paradise by Paullina Simons. I am planning to go back to Uni next year, so I don’t want my brain to shrivel up too much! [...]

The joys of motherhood.
I have just recovered from a poo-splosion. Yellow mustardy stuff up to my elbows, dripping out of his nappy, leaking onto his swing, then all over the blanket on his change table. Now he is clean, I am clean and the washing machine is full. I do have one question – Why is it always [...]

Things I want to remember about Dexter.
How snuffly and grunty he is. Willow was never that noisy! How alert he is. Not always a good thing though… Holding him over my shoulder and him popping his head up like a meerkat. His smell – there is nothing like the smell of a newborn. Wish I could bottle it. The way he [...]

Welcome back!
I had resolved, once I stopped work, to start posting in this blog again. I’ve been off work for nearly 2 months now and haven’t posted once. Of course, I have been busy with the whole ‘having a baby’ thing in that time… So if my writing is not the best, I have an excuse [...]
