Twelve Months On
My baby boy turned one year old on Saturday. One year since he shot out of my vag looking like a member of the Blue Man Group and entered the world. One year since he was whisked off to the NICU before I’d seen him, with Dan following promising to return with a photo. One … Continue reading
The Purple Pimpmobile
Declan attended his first day of preschool without me today (we did two “settling days” last week) and he had a blast. I on the other hand spent most of the day crying my eyes out. The purple pimpmobile was his treat for being so good and even taking a nap when the ladies there … Continue reading
OMG! Facebook Has Targeted Ads!
Wandering around the interwebs catching up on my Idol gossip (*gasp* it’s been moved to a later timeslot! Dramaz!) I stumbled across this less than fascinating article on The Daily Telegraph about Facebook advertising. FACEBOOK users beware: advertisers are watching your page and they know what you need. Relationship status single? Dating agency ads pop … Continue reading
My OB Said WHAT???
I have just discovered (with thanks to Alicia of Tattoos And Drool) the fabulous site, My OB Said What???. Full of gems such as… “Your Cervix Is a Little Dehydrated” “The Vagina is a Very Dirty Place for a Baby!” And my personal favourite, regarding the DANGERS of birthing in a standing position: “…It Makes All The … Continue reading
Step Away From The Baby
From ParentDish’s most recent post: Thumbs Down. You spot a pair of tiny feet bouncing along in a stroller and can’t resist taking a peek. What cheeks! What big, brown eyes! What an adorable sign hanging precariously above the baby’s head warding me off lest I whip out the hand sanitizer! We’re not joking. The … Continue reading
CamWhore
My husband cruelly suggested as I was getting ready to go out last night that I was old, miserable and no longer able to take perfect camwhoring shots, lets just see… Self portrait with camera at arms length. Check. Slightly blurry focus to cover up any imperfections. Check. Artistic MySpace angle, taken from above to cover … Continue reading
You Can Take My Life, But You Can Never Take My Caffienated Beverages!
There’s talk about NSW banning the sale of caffeinated drinks because some eight year olds have been chugging them down on the way to school. I am already coming up with catchy slogans for my protest boards, but can’t get much further that “Take Away My Caffeine And I Will Hunt You Down And Eat … Continue reading
Police Checks For IVF Patients In Vic
In the news today the Victorian government have announced that Police checks for IVF patients are now mandatory. The countries “top IVF experts” have condemned the move, and looking around at opinions online it seems that many people are agreed, I, on the other hand, am completely torn. I have no personal experience with IVF, … Continue reading
Yellow Car V2.0
Declan’s previous yellow car came to an unfortunate end a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve been promising to get him a new one ever since. The old yellow car was a sweet soft top V8 with racing stripes, this one… isn’t. Turns out he isn’t a car snob just yet, as far as he’s … Continue reading
In Loving Memory Of My Fruit Loop
Everyone knows that, unless you’re Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson or Jennifer Garner, or any of the other stars with a million dietitians, physical trainers and yogis working on you, once you pop out a sprog there is no going back to your previous body. Your arse is automatically bigger, your boobs are heading towards your … Continue reading
