what to expect when you’re expecting #3
« Previous EntriesThe birth of Imogen Emily
Friday, January 15th, 2010It’s hard to believe miss Immyjim* has been with us for sixteen days already and I haven’t yet had the chance to record the story of her birth. (Oh that’s right, husband having gallbladder surgery and older children not sleeping in addition to meeting newborn 24 hour needs. Pathetic really). Sometime after midnight on December [...]
And so that was Christmas but we’ve only just begun..
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Those of you that endure my status updates on Farcebook will already know that Christmas 2009 chez hissychick was not quite the festive and relaxed affair that I had hoped for. Instead, the husband decided to get out of Christmas lunch with the inlaws and opening/assembling any further craptastic plastic toys by developing pancreatitis and, [...]
Living by the Yo Gabba Gabba creed
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts That’s what you gotta do Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts And a smile’ll come back to you Thanks for all of your kind messages everyone. I’m pleased to say that mr hissychick has started the ball rolling in terms of appropriate treatment and has been making a concerted effort in [...]
No.
Sunday, December 13th, 2009I am slothing around here at home. Alone. Which for those of you who have done the whole almost full term gig before know is sheer bliss. Necessary space when you already have two other boisterous non day sleeping kidlets. While my two ratbags are enjoying Santa photos and treats with the grandparents and mr [...]
Conflicting desires
Monday, December 7th, 2009Kidlets are at daycare today. So do I go with sleep or nesting or blogging properly for a change? Gah. Brain melting. Nap wins for now……
On the brim
Monday, November 30th, 2009“How are you?” my lovely obstetrician Dr J asked as I waddled into his rooms for my latest checkup. “Irritable is an understatement, and I’m not ready for this” I replied. “And why would you be ready, you’re not quite 35 weeks!” he grinned. “Well unless I’m going crazy I’m sure I felt her drop [...]
The prodigal blogger
Friday, November 20th, 2009Hi there, remember me? I know, I know, I have not been the bestest blogger of late. It’s just that I don’t do the third trimester well. More specifically, I don’t do the sleep deprivation from flailing around in bed like a beached whale coupled with mood swings from massive hormonal surges at all. I [...]
A long overdue update
Saturday, October 17th, 2009Is there anything more lovely than having your two year old boldly announce to the midwife that we are here to see the baby in Mummy’s tummy before up your top and giving your scarily protuberant 28.5 week belly a kiss? Or seeing your own look of proud joy reflected in the face of your [...]
Where we are at
Thursday, September 10th, 2009First offer on house today! Baby kicks now felt externally! I took two children to the movies and not only survived but enjoyed the experience (Ponyo is well worth it, a refreshing change from the usual American schmaltz and a great introduction to Anime for the kidlets)! E is using words such as ridiculous and [...]
Introducing….
Friday, August 14th, 2009What seas what shores what grey rocks and what islands What water lapping the bow And scent of pine and the woodthrush singing through the fog What images return O my daughter. ~T.S Eliot ‘Marina’~
