Category: Baby no 2

I’m so tired today. I skipped a seminar because I didn’t think I could stay awake in it. I thought I’d feel more awake after my 30 minute bike ride in heavy rain and wind, but all it did was make me damp and smelly. Having babies is great fun, and you expect to lose…

Annabel is still progressing, and is now on larger 4-hourly feeds. Naturally when I went in to see her today she had been sick, wee’d and pooed, and then snotted on me. It’s nice to see that everything works.
