Dear Ben, Now you are finally asleep, having kept me carefully away from all the things I should probably have tried to do this evening, I can write you your first letter. I will make sure you never know how much I relish you taking up all of my time. I will keep from you […]
Test post.
Move along. Nothing to see here. Well okay. Apart from a very cute baby being a flickr tester for me.
Think happy thoughts.
Very important to remember that even with very bad days indeed, things are still better than they were. No Freddie but Ben is much better than no Freddie and no Ben. ‘Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. We’re broken, but still good.’ Oh, the wisdom of Disney 😉

Today was hard. Really, really hard. The hardest day for such a long time. I suppose I did have bad days over Freddie while I was pregnant with Ben, but I don’t remember them as topping the immense and submersing anxiety I carried around while I was pregnant. I don’t really remember grieving while I […]
Here we are.
I thought today that it is now nearly 2 years since Freddie was born and lived and died and in a week or so, creeping up, will come his birthday. I don’t know how we got here. I don’t know how we made it. I’ve had 2 babies in 2 years and it took forever […]
8 weeks old
The last two weeks have been little short of a feeding frenzy. Sometimes Ben has gone for 8 solid hour feeds, screaming the house down if I even go to the loo. We have gots bit more of a routine going, we’ve even had a day out and he and I are lucky that I […]
Daffodils at WedEd
Wednesday this week marked a a big improvement in things generally. Not only was I able to drive myself to WedEd or the first time since having Ben but he was also manageable enough for me to be able to get on with being part of the educational offerings again.So this week I brought “Daffodils” […]
A Weekend in 4×4 Photos
We had a lovely weekend. When we got to the end of of it I was able to send this tweet:- “Crafting done, TKD belt earned, rugby played, PDF published, milk pumped, baby slinged and fed, walk had, knitting achieved. Good day.” I thought that was fairly productive really. Saturday was the normal round of […]
6 weeks old
So I should be back to normal by now 😉 However, it would be fair to say that while I am indeed a very contented mother, I’m not following, or indeed indulging in, any methods expounded by certain parenting ‘gurus’. Hmmmm. Ben has eyelashes, real proper ones with darkness to them that you can see. […]
Precious.
There is no doubt that we six are on the mend. There is no doubt that Ben is healing our hearts at a speed and pace that nothing else could have other than a time machine and a better outcome for Freddie. Looking at them all baby worshiping yesterday, I said that I felt like […]
