We went off to our appointment with the Child & Maternal Health nurse this arvo, with young Phoebe in tow. Instead of Kate, we saw Tess. Kate was off doing home visits for the day. Tess was just as lovely. I reckon that’d be part of the job application; make sure this person has a […]

Seems that CD didn’t work. Thing is I put the stereo in the room to help him sleep as the last two days have seen very little sleep - and two rather bleary eyed parents.
After a half hour walk in the pram, he’s now in the sling thing, clinging to me.
I don’t mind. If […]

I’ve just set up my old stereo in our room, beside the cot. He seemed to enjoy lying in my arms about half an hour ago, listening to the Wiggles and being rocked to sleep, so I figure we don’t use the stereo in there much at all, it may as well get usage by […]

We went a visiting today all on our own. Visited my old workmates and my current ones.

Also! News! Such a little lad is now into his very own cot. Due to SIDS rules, he’s sleeping close to the […]

Took a trip up to Shepparton on the weekend to visit family and to let the proud Nana Lois show off her boy. Have to admit, he did so well in the car. Left home a little before 3pm on Thursday, stopped to pick up Phee from school on the way, and arrived a little […]
