January 2: Still in bed and stuck under a sleeping baby. Can I stay here all day?
January 3: Breakfast in bed accompanied by the gurgles of a happy baby. :o)
January 4: Baby wombats look like old Kung Fu masters. :-)
January 4: Wombats are lovely. http://www.zooborns.com/zooborns/wombat/ … I am a tired, sleep deprived mama and baby wombats make me cry. I should go to sleep.
January 5: Twitter has a distinct back to reality vibe this morning with an undercurrent of illness. I am in the feeling not well category.
January 7: Baby in a sling, in a fleece, on a bus.
Eyelashes
January 8: “@qikipedia: Online sales of baby equipment spike at 4am in Britain.” I'm not surprised.
January 9: Morning snuggle. (No we haven't got out of bed yet).
January 10: Unhappy baby with a slight temperature this evening. Just over 2 weeks since we were in contact with chicken pox. Hoping it's not that. :-S
Currently sharing a bed with: a dozen baby books; assorted toys (some with bells in); torch; thermometer; cot mattress; muslin squares; hat.
Not currently a baby, though that happens. Nor a @robhu who prefers the sofa as he doesn't get woken up there.
Someday soon the baby (and the cot mattress) will be in a cot in a different room. I'll miss her, but at least I'll get @robhu back.
January 11: Trying a dreamfeed. Mostly because I'm getting fed up with waking up at 4am with painfully full boobs.
January 12: In the long term, is fabric conditioner good or bad for clothes?
The eyelids flutter. The thumb slides out of her mouth. She realises, replaces it, but it begins to slide once more.
At last the thumb falls out, the eyes close and she sleeps.
Jan 13: A we're still in bed and I can't get the exposure right selfie. (teething baby currently not grumpy, fortunately).
Grumpy teething baby asleep in sling. Babywearing FTW!
RT @fabsternation
Slow clap for Waltham Forest council (yet again). Labour? What Labour? May as well be Tory > http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/13/families-cheated-homes-poor-labour-council-gentrification … #Leyton #Walthamstow
Retweeted that and then got an email about similar shenanigans in Barnet. What's up with that London councils!?
January 15: Sad teething baby will only sleep on mummy.
Lying in bed in my parents' house listening to soft baby breaths inside and wild whirling winds outside. Night night.
January 17: Grumpy baby keeps wailing. A little soothed by the Blue Danube Waltz.
January 18: Being cute at 7am.
January 20: Ah, sweet sleepy milk-filled baby. :-)
January 22: Only one thing for it. We'll have to take our new babywearing coat out for a spin.
Finally asleep! And I'm now stuck.
January 25: What is it that after a really good feed makes my breast tingle/itch/burn like crazy so I can't get to sleep?
[Answer: Vasospasm. I thought it was thrush for a long time, but I was wrong. So painful! Improved with being vigilant about good latch, keeping my nipples warm and taking high dose vitamin B complex.]
RT @FictionFox: The thought of the #NHS is one of the reasons why I try to remind myself that it's my duty and my joy to pay tax, really.
January 27: Phoebe's in her pram today. Can't help thinking it must be boring to be staring at the ceiling when she's used to being upright in a sling.
January 29: And once more there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. Well she's got no teeth, so gnashing of gums. Can you gnash gums? Poor grumpy baby.
January 31: Argh! Itchy breast keeping me awake again. Gerry.
[I assume that's supposed to be Grrrrrrr.]
3am makes me grumpy and wanting to throw things and shout at people. And unable to grammar.

Tweets - December 2014
December 1: Phoebe hungry and cross. I think the milk isn't coming out fast enough. Much chomping, pinching & taking herself off to express displeasure.
December 3: Pics from wedding at the weekend reveal how lumpen I look. :-( But my new wrap sling arrived today. :-)
And Phoebe is currently asleep in it so I think she approves.
December 4: Have you finished eating yet baby? I want to go back to sleep.
Finished, Mummy? Never! Om nom nom nom.
Bought a babywearing coat online. They sent the wrong size. Sent it back. New coat is right size but wrong colour. Also not sure about fit.
Dunno whether to keep, return for refund or return for correct colour. Will try it on with different combos of clothes/wrap to check fit.
December 6: My monkey is a restless eater. Head constantly trying to manoeuvre into a better position, legs kicking, hands pinching handfuls of breast.
December 8: A shower and breakfast and already dressed before Phoebe demands a feed? Luxury!
Rob has a go at babywearing.
December 10: Oh baby. Are you going to go to sleep now you've finished eating?
No mummy, I'm going to lie here being cute & blowing raspberries at you.
Also coughing and sniffling and sounding like a piglet.
December 12: Feeding Phoebe while the wind howls and rain drums on the roof. Feeling warm, cosy and thankful for shelter and heating.
Wriggle. Wriggle. Fart. Look at hands. Blow raspberry. Poke tongue out at mummy. Big grin. Chew fist. Wriggle some more. Repeat.
December 15:
Anxiety dream about playing in a school concert? Really, subconscious? I've not been at school for a very long time.
Odd day. Phoebe napped in her basket this morning, then screamed for an hour, then had third set of jabs, then slept all afternoon.
I think screaming was ear ache and sleep is probably the best thing for her but she's not eaten much since morning feed, just little snacks.
RT@LynnCSchreiber Love this! Lego Friends
December 16: A year ago today I found out I was pregnant with Phoebe. Best Christmas present ever. :-)
Trying to persuade sad baby with a temperature that sleep will help her feel better. Fortunately she doesn't need persuading to take calpol.
December 17: RT@LadyFOHF A fantastic takedown of @rustyrockets (Russell Brand) by the man whose lunch he ruined. (It was paella)
It's the kind of day where at 1pm you're sitting on your bed wrapped in a damp towel feeding a baby who refuses to nap.
December 18: Clean jeans put on approximately an hour ago. Already adorned with baby sick.
Ridiculously excited that @robhu has the day off which means I can go and get my hair cut. Baby free outing!
There's nothing quite like cuddling a sleepy milk-filled baby. :-)
December 19: My baby girl giggles! Apparently daddy saying Bang! is hilarious. :-)
December 21: Milk-filled at 4am.
December 22: Taking a sniffing, coughing snotty baby to the GP. Probably just a cold but it's been weeks and getting worse not better. #firsttimemummy
Cuddling a snotty baby who only wants to sleep on mummy. This does not bode well for getting the flat tidy today. Although sling will help.
December 23: Full of snot baby who doesn't want to feed plus blocked duct lump equals woe. Thank goodness for breast pump.
December 24: Sitting in my sister-in-law's pink teenager bedroom pumping milk for my snot-congested baby.
December 25: Listening to my little family snoring. Snot Encrusted baby and not snotty but snory @robhu. Happy. Except I would like the snot to abate.
Merry Christmas from Phoebe and her giant bear.
December 31: Cuddling a sleeping baby. Should put her down in her basket again and go to sleep myself but savouring the moment for a bit. :-)
