Although we have just returned from a week away with our 11 week old we are starting to think about the next holiday! This year we would like a couple of long weekends away to Bath/Bristol, Dublin and Bruges. Before we went away I read a great post by Tanya about holidaying with small children….

Tired
I’m sure I’m not alone as a new mum feeling exceptionally tired at the moment. A recent holiday and the unsettled weather means the routine Edward and I had is out of the window. He seems constantly hungry and has taken to sleeping for long periods during the day and shorter periods during the night….
Holidays and sunburnt hands!
We’re coming to the end of a week spent in Devon and Cornwall. It has been quite an experiencing holidaying with an 11 week old! However, we managed to have a great time and visited Lanhydrock, a monkey sanctuary and the Eden Project, not to mention the picturesque seaside villages of Looe and Polperro. Here…
Home and away
We’ve returned home to London for a couple of days and are now back on the Isle of Wight as my husband has an appointment with his consultant tomorrow. Since we’ve been at home it has finally been just the two us as my husband has gone back to work and we’ve had a couple…
Dummy or not?

The Gallery: a portrait
My contribution for this weeks The Gallery over at Sticky Fingers is this portrait I took of my husband and son yesterday. My poor husband has recently been discharged from 2 weeks in hospital where he underwent an emergency operation for an abcess in his bowel. He’s recovering well but it’s been hard for him…
Clean washing
Who would have thought a 6-week old could make so much mess? In a typical day Edward seems to go through at least one clothes change, 8 muslins, 3 bibs and a mattress fitted sheet. We also learnt today that certain brands of bib melt in the tumble drier. Oops. Life has calmed down enough…
Good news
Yay, my husband was finally discharged from hospital this afternoon. After 31 trips to visit him (often with poor little Edward in tow) I think we are all relieved he has been allowed to recuperate at home.
