One and a bit

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

Monkey girl, I forgot to mention these two rather gorgeous new tricks of yours in yesterday’s post:
1. When I ask you “Where’s your nose?” you proudly point to it and giggle, and then grab mine; and2. You now do both the hand gestures and the clapping to that old chestnut “Open, Shut Them”.
Trying hard to […]

One

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

And so my darling daughter, today you are one. What a year it has been!
This morning started off a lot more comfortably than the same morning twelve months ago. For starters there were no drips, epidurals or medieval baby extracting implements in sight, rather a happy well rounded girl who was more interested […]

Losing it…

…my anonymity that is.
Someone that I know IRL* has come across my blog.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. No one else knows about the existence of my little angsty corner of cyberspace except for my husband, who does not want to know what I write out of respect for me and my […]

Get ‘em young

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

So the poo monkey has had a bit of a growth spurt and is now just shy of twelve kilos. Her lovely rounded chubby baby features are a delight to behold…however her inability to fit into her clothes is not.
Last Friday afternoon involved a panic shop whilst my girl was having a nap. […]

oh! the irony…

Doctor’s surgery, Friday afternoon
Me: I’d like a prescription for the Pill
Doctor: So you are planning on spacing your family a bit?
Me: (taking deep breath) Actually this is in preparation for another round of IVF in a couple of months’ time.
Doctor: Are you sure? After all, you never know…
And I’m off […]

i heart my mother’s group

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Just had mother’s group here at our humble house. Lots of fun for the bubs, and much discussion and laughter for the mums. We’re an interesting mix of personalities, and I can unreservedly say that I get along well with most, if not all of these other women who happened to be screaming […]

Well…what do you know…

…AF arrived in all her crampy, flood like glory approximately one nanosecond after my last post.
I can’t get out of my own way today, must get into shower and then plan something interesting for the poo monkey and I to do now that her Daddy is back at work and/or cook some nutritious […]

Uhuh. Yeah. Whatever.

Saturday, January 7th, 2006

So I am currently on CD 36 or 37 or thereabouts, and AF still hasn’t properly arrived.
I know I am not pregnant as I have had some spotting and cramps off and on for a few days, my boobs aren’t sore etc bloody etc.
Which leads me to one conclusion: I am now officially back […]

And another thing…

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

How cute are you, our little monkey girl, when you treat our bed as one big jumping castle, a place to bounce up and down on your behind with the aim of getting sufficient momentum with which to launch yourself at either daddy or I?
I’m also loving how fascinated you are with cause and effect. […]
