Just So

M turned 3 months old last week. Next day to that, he celebrated it with not doing anything as per the routine that had gradually set in, and that included napping. He was fine the day next to this anomalous day, and it was relief.

Figlia was finally put on antibiotics, and she is on the mend. This week, she will go away with her Dad to UsualCity, and next week, M and I will follow suit. My parents would accompany us there and would be there for 10 odd days. 

M is doing well developmentally...and he smiles easily. Figlia was a smiley babe too. Like his sister, he too has a lazy eye, but it is not as much as it was with Figlia. Figlia's eye became normal on its own around 4 months, and I expect the same with M. 

Lo.la crosses my mind everyday. Once we go back to UsualCity, M would also receive all his vaccines at Dr. T's clinic...the very place where L fought her last battles. L walks with me everywhere.

  1. Hoping the transition back to UsualCity goes smoothly. Sending love and strength to help you through it all, especially returning to Dr. T's clinic. My breath caught at the mention of that. I know how hard it is to return to the boys' hospital even seven years later...

    Many, many hugs.

  2. I hope the transition goes well. I'm sure it will be difficult at first and there will be many adjustments, but I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.

    And, (hugs)

  3. I hope Figlia is at her best (and by best, I mean WORST, most challenging) for her father. Regardless, I'm sure she will enjoy basking in his attention for a bit. And you will get a tiny break - I hope M doesn't have any more off days during that time! So nice that your parents can accompany you - it will help you get settled. Have you made any progress in finding help at home?

    Of course Lola is with you everywhere...

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
