Ivy slept through the night.
Oh. Yes. She. Did.
Okay, she woke a couple of times and they said there was one episode of apnoea… maybe. They were very non commital about it all.
But for all intensive purposes, she had a great night’s sleep and a great night’s sleep means no tonsilectomy. No tonsilectomy means another year […]

Just when I thought it was never going happen.
The Sleep unit called us and Ivy is having her sleep study tonight!
We came to the top of the cancellation list!
We are going straight after we see our wayward paed.
After two nights of waking up every hour on the hour if she sleeps through tonight, I am […]

Oh my goodness today was a big day!
Last night Ivy took a backwards slide and decided she would cry all night. I don’t know for sure what was going on but by the morning, her temperature was through the roof again. Come daybreak though she was brighter and I thought the worst had passed.
Sadly I […]

She sits in the chair of the darkened room, hunched over the small, defeated, ball of her child. She worries over this baby because she is always ill.
The day has been a big one. Crying, clinging and high temperatures. After the first convulsion, the child, a girl, has not moved from her lap until the […]

By the Threeringcircus Technical Consultant, recently promoted to Sub-editor:
Your regular author sends her apologies for being unable to blog today.
Aparently it’s been too long since our last hospital admission. Despite our best efforts at managing the situation, we eventually conceded defeat and young Ivy was presented to hospital late yesterday.
As of this afternoon, things are improving […]

The start of Daylight Savings means you sleep in.
Did. You. Hear. Me?
Sleep in, ie; sleep past 4am.
Not the other way around.
It will not make for very personable parents come, say, oh, about midday.

At 8am: Some of the kids (Ivy included) have woken up with colds. Imogen will be staying home because she is too sick for school.
I realise that my quest to start the Christmas shopping is not going to happen.
It is cooler this morning and the sick children have begged off our daily morning walk, which I […]

Ugh! The sunlight breaks through the window of their bedroom. Even though they have been extremely restless all night and kept the Mummy and the Daddy up until midnight,with smatterings of resettling thereafter, even though they are so tired their eyes can barely open a crack, once the sun is up so are they. This […]

Why would you take one husband, five children and two toddlers to Toys R Us when you are severly sleep deprived? Honestly. Did you really think that you would have time to look for birthday presents for the soon to be two year olds? Follow the kids around, making mental notes on what they are interested […]

Sorry for that brief interlude. We just had a major reality check in having to take Noah to hospital, with Ivy riding on his shirt tails, with asthma. (Did I mention I love living in a place that is hot in the day and freezing at night?) Anyway, enough of that…
‘Everyday is better when you […]
