I Pity the Drool!

I had no idea teething started so early! I thought it'd be a few months away. Apparently not. None are cutting through or owt like that. Just experiencing mountains and mountains of drool. It's like I've given birth to a bulldog expect noisier and less furry. Look at the line of bloody drool hanging from her mouth. It just makes my heart burst with love. I obviously mean bloody in the swearing sense, not literally. (shout-out to grandad peter! ey up dad!) So next time you'll see me I'll be sporting a very fetching dribble stain. Unless I slopped summat else down myself, that's also very likely. Only people who personally know me will get this. Toddlers have less food and drink stains on their clothes than I do. Fact. (do I get bonus points for making my blog post title a Mr T pun?)

Ta-ra 2017, Ey Up 2018

2017 was a year of extreme happiness and sadness. I lost a sister but gained an angel. I lost my sanity but gained a daughter. There's such a fine line between crying and laughter, comedy and tragedy (TRAGEDY! When the feelings gone and you can't go on its TRAGEDY! ...any excuse to sings Steps and/or Bee Gees) I expect 2018 will also be filled with happy and sad but I'm hoping it'll be a bit steadier and I'm more equipped to handle it.  So let's see what 2018 brings. It started out with this little party animal sleeping in her grandparents bed after a heavy session on the milk on New Year's Eve.

She's Out, We're Home!

First of all, I am so bloody jealous of women who loved labour. I won't go into the gory details of mine but I will stay that I am fricking traumatised. But it's worth it for this amazing little jellybean ❤️ Completely and utterly in love. And Dale is such a wonderful dad. And he says I'm a wonderful mum. I'll be happy if we're more like the "okay-est" parents as long as we love her to pieces. Which we obv do because LOOK AT HER (disclaimer: we're bias and we know it) Random babblings: • the inventor of gas and air needs an award • why do I get so relieved when seeing a poo in her nappy? • leaky boobs are the devil • thank god for grandparents, me and dale would be sat in a pile of dirty clothes, starving and crazy from sleep deprivation without them
