Attention Future Zoey

Thumbnail image for Attention Future Zoey

This vlog is intended for future me, the next time I have a baby. Because there are certain things that are just far too easy to forget. Particularly when it comes to buying certain things for babies. I now trust that future Zoey will pay close attention and not you know, ignore me entirely.

The Easy Baby and the Spirited Toddler

I have an easy baby. There, I said it. She goes to sleep easily and without my help. Sure she has an unsettled period in the afternoon but I pop her in the sling and she goes to sleep. Last night she had trouble getting to sleep probably because she’s got a bit of my [...]

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 [...]

Second. The Easy and The Hard

Some things are easier second time around. Like breastfeeding. Nothing screams success like not taking a baby off your breast to find your own blood pouring out of her mouth. I know.

The Baby Stage

Plenty of people don’t like the baby stage. There’s all kinds of things not to like. The sleep deprivation that causes you to at times be a barely functioning human, hardly even capable of holding an intelligent conversation, or faking one. Then there’s the challenge of even getting out of the house, or showering uninterrupted [...]

You’ll Never Do That With Your Second Child

I heard that a whole lot when Riley was a baby. The tilt of the head. The tut-tutting. The look that not just spoke but screamed, it’s a mistake. And then that simple sentence. ‘You’ll never do that with your second child.’ I guess the theory being that it’s all well and good to spoil [...]

Pre-Baby Jitters

It seems that my first baby is having some pre-baby jitters. Last night she woke up at about 9pm and came out into the lounge room. It rarely happens, but when it does she’s usually pretty easy to get back to sleep as long as she comes back to bed with us, which I don’t [...]

34/365 The Blogiversary Edition

This was one of the photos I posted on my first ever post. Look at that glorious belly and those pudgy arms. It was also one of the first times she went to sleep on her own, mid lunch no less. In some ways she’s so much of a baby in this photo that I [...]
