Sorry, folks. Nothing going on here today. I’m battling a dragon of a migraine, and there’s not much I can take to quell it, so I’m hiding out under the blankets instead. Do you have that ‘safe’ place, about two-thirds of the way to sleep, where the headache miraculously disappears? That’s where I’ll be floating today. Besides, there is no gift greater than sleep at this point in my life. Ah, it’s almost worth the headache and the rolling stomach to contemplate an 8-hour nap!

Talk amongst yourselves, and I’ll try to be back with something a little more energetic later today or tomorrow.

The cold, clear, sunny weather just hovering at the freezing mark is the ideal time for it: the annual spring rite of picking up of the poop-dogs, as they are unaffectionately known around here. Nothing like spending a couple of hours on a Saturday morning prying...

  3. Liveblogging labour – part five The midwife has come and gone. One of my favourite memories of this labour, if not this entire pregnancy, will likely be Tristan and Simon, clad in their pyjamas, creeping down the stairs to see what the midwife was doing, and having them and Beloved sitting on the floor together...
  4. Beyond Day Three When I was pregnant, I read something on someone’s blog about Day Three, and how it’s a well-known fact (at least in some circles, it was news to me but made a lot of sense) that Day Three postpartum is one of the worst, hardest days. It’s a perfect storm...
  5. Talk to me about sleep training First, I loved your comments on my last post, where I asked you your thoughts about letting my five- and seven-year-old boys walk around the block together alone.

Take care of yourself, little mama.
I used to get migranes on a regular basis and you’re doing the ONLY thing that can be done. Hide until it goes away with no light, no noise, in that semi-conscious state.
Feel better!
