Life is not very exciting when you're confined to the home for 6 weeks.
Another 3 weeks to go and I can drive!
There is not much that I can report except to go into great detail about a typical day of mine.
It resembles this:
Wake up at 1am - feed baby.
A fresh start to the day!
It has only been an hour since I last saw her.
Approximately 4am - feed baby.
Another fresh start to the day!
And no, the newspaper has still not been delivered yet.
Another random time - wake up suddenly & listen for baby.
No baby noise? Jump out of bed and race towards kitchen for hot cross buns and iced coffee.
No time for bacon and eggs!
Time for ablutions.
When half undressed, and rather cold, the baby cries.
Re-dress.
Spend next three hours entertaining baby with food, play mat, meeting the post-man and watering plants.
Hop around when holding baby after drinking a 'real' coffee. (Yes I have turned into one of those people.)
Answer the telephone when baby not screaming, type with one finger whilst dipping baby towards keyboard.
Baby dozes.
Race towards shower for the third time, turn on exhaust fan.
I hear nothing.
Jump in.
Realise hunger has struck.
Stare at clock. It is 4pm.
Eat toast and chocolate bar.
Have another coffee.
Baby screams.
Pick baby up.
Hold baby until 5pm.
If possible, nap between 5 and 5.30pm, otherwise put baby in a papoose, do dishes, make bed and stand at door with screaming baby, waiting for husband.
Forget husband is working late.
At 8.30pm, slide to the floor and order pizza.
Get confused as to what day it is and hurl abuse at television for playing the wrong shows.
Ba ha ha - I know it can't really be that glamorous to be a mother.
