A Sunny Day

I had an interesting day today. I walked to the other side of town to visit a friend I haven't seen for a while. It was a beautifully sunny day...a day for shorts and T shirt. I passed a few mothers with buggies and they all seemed to be smiling at me. Claire and I chatted over fennel tea and malt loaf in the garden while Inka slept and her little one got food all over her face. Then to the doctors to get Inka immunised. Its her first set of injections at 2 months old. I had to hold her arms and have her on my lap as two efficient nurses injected her in both thighs from either side simultaneously. I closed my eyes as they did it. She let out a little silent scream and then a deep breath and a heart breaking cry. I'm a bad bad mother letting them do that...that's what she would say if she could. Ive just reached another milestone of motherhood...seeing my little one in pain but knowing its for her own good.

Family moments

As Ive said in my last posts, my parents have been down these last few weeks. My brother came down last weekend from Staffordshire. He is off to Brazil soon to live and see the beautiful Luana, so I suppose it will be the last time for a while Ill see him. Perhaps we will join him there next year for his wedding! I had a really emotional time seeing my mum and dad off and I bawled my eyes out after Andy took them to the airport. I usually don't get too emotional when I say goodbye to them as we have to do it so often. It must be motherhood that's made me so damned soppy.

Thanks for all your lovely comments on this blog, its good to know Inka and I have a steadily increasing fan base!
