let’s catch it all up, shall we?

1. Somewhere in the sky; baby-child writhed in her very own small, red seat-belt. An in-utero-seasoned traveller, she slept through a multitude of voyaging indignities including a stint in a precariously positioned bassinet.

2. Then we got to New Zealand which can best be described presently as; Winter, Green. Our new bed is a Family Bed. Ok, it’s two beds jammed luxuriously together. In any case, it is fantastic. Sometimes I lose people at night and have to organize impromptu search parties to source them out. Compare here.

3. School is a little mind numbing. All those pesky things you forgot you were forgetting and subsequently forgot to panic about forgetting. Seemingly important things too like; how to not be responsible for untimely deaths of innocents. However, I can still take a mean blood pressure, so all is not lost.

4. I’m on call again and it’s not scary yet. Probably because I have not actually been called - how trite! But, anyway, my bag is packed with a spare shirt and a spare breast pump and I am falling asleep with whispered prayers to either get the Knock on the Door (because that’s exciting) or, conversely, to not get the Knock on the Door (because I’m tired and want my whole night to sleep!). Haha, all hail the contradictory life of the student midwife.

5. Baby-thing has suddenly decided that food is delicious and what’s more, worthy of swallowing. Be warned should you try to snack on the leftover pizza sauce in her vicinity without sharing. Back arching is so very threatening to the peace. Family dinners and family baths and family nesting together like a perfect double eggcup + egg makes the whole universe right and whole and glazed in honey-light.

All good then?

good.
