It’s hard to stay in a routine when you’re out of your own home. And this trip away has been no different. I’ve been needing to lie next to her to get her to go to sleep at night. Although, at least once she’s asleep, she pretty much stays asleep. Vast improvement from last trip where she woke every 2-3 hours (you can also find this trip in the dictionary under hell). And her naps are much the same, but at least she’s taking them.

Fair Warning – this is going to be one of those super mooshy posts where I wax lyrical about how much I love my baby. If it’s not your kind of thing you may want to skip over it or get a bucket. But don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

I’ve had a rough week. And I suppose I haven’t been my usual Christmas-enthusiast (rabid fanatical) self. I’d hoped to be pleasantly pregnant during the festive season, but my miscarriage threw me a bit of a curve ball. Physically, I’m …

This is our routine (ideally). Ideally is also code for NOT TEETHING, so I haven’t done this in a while. At this very moment there are dishes on the bench and a play area to clean up which I have absolutely no intention of doing tonight. Even though I know it would make everything easier tomorrow.
