Mabel was also perky so we went for a really nice walk, made it to the good bakery on Ormond Road and the Pet Pantry for a little Mabel treat. leaving the house at 7.30am felt revolutionary!

i read that newborns get really upset about doing a 💩 or 💨 because they don’t like the feeling of their digestion as it’s new to them, and that is just so tragic to me 😝. like what a sad situation to be in!

i feel like i’m a tiny bit getting into the swing of things. it reminds me of the afternoon where i’d had mabel for about ten days and suddenly decided to bake a cake. i’m not baking a cake but my kitchen is tidy

her vet is doing a fellowship in the US and isn’t available, she is going to do remote appointments in the new year i think but part of me thinks i should get another opinion. i just don’t have the bandwidth to keep pursuing this right now though

The overstimulation of trying to leave the house, irritated, with baby crying and dog barking hysterically and folding up prams and juggling bags is honestly for me the hardest part of everything so far. it just makes me want to scream

also Mabel’s separation anxiety has become shit again and i can see she’s barking at home. i’m honestly tempted to take her off the behavioural meds as i’m not convinced she is better on them

oh my god Centrelink are the biggest collection of morons i’ve ever encountered. i dragged myself in there a few weeks ago & got a customer ref number. apparently to use it i also need a “linking code” which they did not see fit to give me, so now i have to go back with a newborn infant. stupendous

Tilly was super fascinated by the Christmas balloons hanging above the counter in Mabel’s favourite dog treat shop. i’ll have them both demanding we visit!

Mabel knows “wait” as in wait to cross the road etc. i give her cheese every evening with her tablet in it and she was barking at me for it. i was feeding Tilly so was like Mabel just WAIT. she gave me the most confused look, clearly recognised the word but not the context 😝

anyway finally Matilda fell asleep with me holding her and Mabel came and cuddled up to me and it was much better. sometimes putting her in bed just isn’t worth it

my incision side is suddenly really sore. kind of like bruising? i think it’s because i’ve been getting up from my low sofa holding the baby. she’s been grizzling all night and mabel keeps barking at me and it kind of makes me lose my mind with overstimulation.
