Only very occasionally do I wish I could just plug the computer directly into my brain and download things… but right now I am wishing I could dump a couple of posts directly online and clear them out of my brain…

I basically hit 37 weeks (the beginning of ‘on-time’ as far as delivery goes) and came down with stuff. Reflux, and complete dis-interest in food… and… and…

And it’s rather hampered my ability to function:-( I’ve actually spent most afternoons in the last week lying down in bed (after napping while the kids sleep—so glad they still do that!), and letting them come to me. On my way through the house for necessary trips I’ve got out things for Puggle to work on for dinner, and they’ve spent some time playing around me on the bed, or reading to me (the timing of this is fabulous ). It’s been quite cute in parts—they both like being kittens and curling up beside my back together:-) Mind you, they’re equally as likely to try bouncing, which is a little less comfortable! (Edited to Add… it’s a bit of an indication as to how bad I’ve been feeling that I didn’t even take the laptop with me to the bedroom!)

Finally, about 10 days later, I’m starting to feel interested in food… I’m starting to eat again (such a relief! I was a little worried about how I was going to cope with labour/delivery as things were looking!) I’m even starting to get on top of some of the things that need doing around home (and preparing for Cygnet!) Paddington has been doing stuff… but it’s all the things that don’t get done when one of us is out of the picture for a bit—it just isn’t possible to do everything on your own (it isn’t possible to do everything with both of us at full pace, but the gaps are much smaller!)

So, not so much on the posting of late… (well, it’s been not so much on the anything of late), but hopefully more regular again soon!
