Bsky pls implement circles I'm getting way too personal up here in full public view

Succeeded in real clothes, failed at the crying thing when I put a sweatshirt on that I wore a lot at the hospital when we were being induced and realised how much I miss seeing the bump in it lmao 😭

There has to be a market for parenting milestone cards like this. "Was brave enough to leave the house with baby", "only cried once in a 6 hour period", "put real clothes on today"

Bébé is 8 days old and has been home for one week (barenaked ladies intensifies) and today is the first day I feel brave enough to leave the house with her so wish us luck 🫠

I have a million tiny traumas to process from bébé's birth but I keep coming back to the deranged bright spot of the surgeon asking what music I wanted during my emerg c section, asking for something upbeat, and the result being bébé genuinely entering the world to Natasha bedingfield's unwritten

WIP? completed it mate.

Pregnancy is wild and also fucked up like wdym I mention I'm itchy as fuck to the midwife this morning so they do some blood tests and 4 hours later they're like yeah so your liver is borked 🙃 which is a thing. That can happen.

The sun is shining, I'm listening to jack's mannequin, and I am making unsupervised trips to both dunelm and hobbycraft so ripppppppp my bank account today 😎

Including inexplicably excellent use of Gwen Stefani's if I was a rich girl as the reveal needledrop

Possibly the nicest and weirdest thing you've ever said to me 🥲

Growth scans might not be the most reliable at measuring babies at this gestation but today's measurements have got me starting daily pep talks with my vagina about how we can get through this if we work together as a team 🫠🫠🫠

A very sneezy congested cold at 37 weeks preg is my new definition of hell. My pelvic floor is well and truly on its last legs rn

Turns out some little shit's parting mat leave gift to me was a raging cold so if anyone needs me I will just be lounging in excessive misery surrounded by tissues for the next few days 😭

Mr Em is sleeping soundly, rhubarb is sleeping soundly. Bebe is (presumably, due to current lack of in utero bebe rave) sleeping soundly. I am just 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

"sleep while u can before baby is here" would love to be doing that unfortunately I cannot seem to shake the persistent 2am-5am wide awake periods every single night rn 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Definitely forgot to set my out of office tho

Finished with work until April 2027 ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

I have also learnt 2 things today:
1) I have somehow managed to completely stealth this preg to 80% of the staff at my school.
2) there is definitely an email chain I'm not on about my impending departure because SO MANY people have been approaching me today like omg congrats I had NO IDEA 😀

Eating cereal at 4.25 in the morning because I've had 3 hours sleep, I've been awake since 1.30, and I am sloooooooowwwlllyyy losing my grip on reality lmaooooo

I think this is probably also why I never really get the ick that others get around RPF, because RPF was literally my formative fandom/fic experience 🤷‍♂️
