She Stands Out

She Stands Out

‘She’s a character’ ‘She sure does like the sound of her own voice’ ‘She’s an actress’ These are the sorts of comments that are coming thick and fast around here. Apparently, people’s willingness to put in their two cents isn’t restricted to babydom. Some of the comments are positive, some are less so. But really, [...]

Minus the Colic

Minus the Colic

This week we’ve had a break from colic. I have no idea what has made the difference – the diet (the stupid, stupid colic diet), the block feeding, the dummy, a combination or that nothing has made a dent and she’s just growing out of it. And this is the happy, chubby face I see [...]

Can I Eat Dairy Yet?

Can I Eat Dairy Yet?

I’ve been mostly on my diet for about a week now. There have been a few transgressions here and there. And I have half hoped all along that the diet will do nothing for me and I can go back to eating exactly as I please. Dairy mostly. A life without cheese and cream is [...]

The Cure

The Cure

I am in no way suggesting I have found a cure for colic. If I had, I would be living it up with my billions of dollars and writing this blog post from my eccentric-rich-person-bat-cave. But it doesn’t mean I’m not trying everything under the sun. Because spending three hours a night listening to your [...]

Attached

Attached

This is how I will appear for the next couple of months. And although I might have complained in various forums about not being able to sit down and wanting a break from the sling 24/7. I don’t really mind. In fact, most of the time, I quite enjoy it. It means I don’t have [...]

Flying Solo

Flying Solo

This is the last week of the husband’s paternity leave. I am currently taking advantage of him and he is out of the house with the toddler at swimming lessons / shopping expedition and the house is deliciously quiet. After that, I’m flying solo. Well, sort of. My mum will be here for a week. [...]

This Is The Fun Part

This Is The Fun Part

I might have been awake for nearly 24 hours straight yesterday. And it’s safe to say that I might not have been feeling the fun then. But after snatching a few hours of sleep here and there, I’m back to the fun bit. Piper is just over three weeks old. It goes far too quickly [...]

So This is Colic

So This is Colic

I took PIper in for a checkup yesterday. Not that anything was wrong, but it had been suggested that because she had a relatively low birth weight that I should keep an eye on her weight gain. Not really necessary as it turns out because voracious appetite baby had put on over 300 grams in [...]

168/365 The Girl Who Doesn’t Sleep

168/365 The Girl Who Doesn't Sleep

Naps are gone. Night time sleep is on its way. A mere month ago her sleep at night was blissfully reliable. She’d go down (relatively easily) and then only come into our room at around 4 or 5 in the morning. Thanks to the sibling adjustment period (please, tell me it’s a phase?!) she’s now [...]

The Good Baby

The Good Baby

There’s one question that people ask an awful lot when there’s a newborn about. Is she a good baby? Well, I don’t know I haven’t attributed any moral value to her just yet. Of course, I know what they mean. They want to know, does she sleep and does she cry much. Because ‘good’ apparently [...]
