Changes

So obviously, my life has changed since having Adam.  I’ve mentioned this before. But I have been thinking about physical changes lately. Some of them are small, like the fact that my hands seem to get waterlogged a lot quicker these days.  One round of washing  up and my palms are all wrinkled.  I used [...]

Its a Sham! A Sham with Yams!! A Yam Sham!

You will only get that title if you are a Buffy fan. Happy Thanksgiving. And to anyone worrying, like my mother, that I won’t have a turkey today since I couldn’t get one at Sainsbury’s on Tuesday?  I’ll get one today at Marks & Spencer. In other news, as Adam was eating his first bottle [...]

Adam and Mummy’s Next Big Adventure!

So today I put Adam into his Bjorn, grabbed my sholley and my shopping bags and headed for the big Sainsbury’s.  Its a huge supermarket about 15 minutes away by bus.  Well, if you catch the right bus.  If you catch the wrong bus you go all the way through East Belfast and it takes [...]

Although Adam is Feeling Much Better

I decided I didn’t have enough spoons for the supermarket today.  So today we stayed home.  We played, he napped, I cleaned a bathroom, we played some more. Let me say that again…he napped.  As in was put in his cot and stayed in his cot.  For a whole half an hour this morning and [...]

Get The Baby Book Out – Adam’s First Ear Infection!

So he has been coughing for a few days.  And then on Thursday I noticed he was batting at his ear.  So off to the GP on Friday morning. Yup, slight ear infection, but much more concerned about the dry croupy cough.  So he has Amoxocillian.  Which smells vile and, I imagine, tastes worse based [...]

Another Day, Another Trip to Children’s Hospital…

So when Adam had his 4 month appointment and his jabs, the health visitor flagged up that she thought he might have Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip – DDH. From the GP’s reaction when she checked him, I could tell she didn’t agree, but since the HV had said so, she had to write the [...]

Thank You Jane

for both the comment and what you said.  I do appreciate knowing that someone, other than my mother and my best mate from University (Hi Mom and Rae!), is reading this! But, according to my stats? I do indeed have only about 10 readers a day.  Well, not if I tweet a post, then people [...]

Sorry For The Lack Of Updates

Its not so much that I have nothing to say as I am too tired to say it coherently or the way that I want to. As Adam gets older, he needs more interaction, of course! He still is able to play by himself quite a bit, in his chair and in his bumbo.  And [...]

Yesterday I Woke Up With Very Few Spoons

What that means. It actually started at about 330am when either I was awoken by Adam needing me or I woke Adam because I moaned in pain in my sleep.  My upper arms and my thighs hurt with every move.  I was having the worst Fibro flare I’ve had since having my son. Lucky for [...]

Letter to My Son – Adam – 5 Months Old

Dear Adam Here we are at 5 months.  The time has just flown by and I can’t believe you’re almost half a year old already. So many developmental changes this past month!  The big one was you rolling over from your tummy to your back.  Surprised the heck out of both of us.  One second [...]
