The First Time Mum

Cabin fever is a real thing.

On Friday we had a normal day of Peggy drinking, sleeping, pooing and play time. She is awake most of the day so keeping her entertained is now a full-time job. Luckily, she is quite easily entertained, mostly by flashing lights and some music. But really it depends on the day. Depends on whether she’s having one of those days!

Friday night we went to the local pub for dinner. It was delicious as always! Peggy loves the pub already, which is slightly dangerous, but I guess like father like daughter. After a few pints of Speights and a nice social evening out of the house, she decided to sleep all through the night; from 10pm to 6am. WOW, now that was great. I still woke up at 3am to pump but luckily that is just a quick 10-minute job. False sense of security incoming…

Hayden is away for the weekend for a friend’s birthday and the cabin fever is setting in. I honestly feel like I’m going a bit crazy sometimes. I had a cry just because she was being sick, which is a very common occurrence. I am very grateful for the friends who came to visit Saturday and today. Thanks for keeping me sane.

And last night… well, no, she didn’t sleep right through. We had two wake ups in the night. So, the moral of that story is, don’t get too excited when something like sleeping through the night happens, because chances are it won’t happen the next day.

Peggy currently has her eyes shut for a few minutes so I thought I would write this, to let some of my hormonal insanity out!

To all you friends and family out there keeping mums sane, thank you. Thank you for the chats and the cups of tea. Thanks for stopping me from going completely doolally!
