No Really…

I need a new bum; a designer bum; one that I can poop from, that kind of bum!

This is not in any way related to the books, this is just my story about my journey with my baby girl and her designer butt!

  • Still no sleep

    Iz was at my mum’s. She loves it there, and it’s meant to give us a break — a chance to sleep. I also got to spend some time with my boy, which was magical. Then bedtime rolled around, and even when she’s not here, I can’t sleep. Right now, I just can’t sleep. It’s… Read.

  • In the dead of night!

    It’s been such a long time… Iz is 19 months old now, and she’s doing so well—so well that we’re planning for her to start nursery next month. And yet, here I am, still awake past midnight. The fear comes in waves. I’m not sure it will ever fully go away. I’m scared for the… Read.

  • Is she walking yet?

    It’s been a while, and so much has happened… Iz is now almost 15 months old 😱. In the last couple of weeks, she’s taken her first wobbly little steps and has added a fair few new words to her repertoire. Which brings me to today’s topic: “Is she walking yet?” You know that question.… Read.

  • Getting into the swing of things

    I’ve been a bit (very) quiet on the posting front recently as we’ve been getting to grips with all things Iz poop. Some days we have lots and some days we have none… it’s tricky to get it right. Awaiting a follow up appointment with Iz’s surgeons and hoping we’ll get a little more support… Read.

  • The dreaded constipation

    In just two weeks, things have taken quite a turn. Yesterday, I reached out to the hospital we’re under care with for advice regarding a couple of issues we’ve been facing. Iz, has been struggling with constipation. While it’s not severe, it’s causing her quite a bit of discomfort. Today, I spent 45 minutes trying… Read.

  • I GOT MY NEW BUM… one that I can poop from!!!

    14 Days Post-Reversal Op! What a two weeks it’s been! Iz is doing well, and we’re surviving. The main thing is that we’ve made it through. I’ll do a separate page for each operation, detailing all the ins and outs, when I get the chance. For now, it’s all about repeat nappy changes while Iz… Read.

  • Best big bro

    Our son is 10, and he doesn’t share well – never has. He gets that from me 🤣. As a 40-year-old, I still have my own set of coloring pencils because, well, people just disrespect pencils, and I can’t handle it 🤣. I should probably mention that I’m a stationery freak, not just a complete… Read.

  • The tears are coming thick and fast…

    Today’s been hard, getting up, getting dressed, getting out, functioning… today has just been hard… the tears keep coming and I just keep holding my girl,,, I don’t want to let her go… I’m so so terrified. Terrified of losing her, of the op, of her being in pain, of it not working, of her… Read.

  • Finally got some sleep

    So, it finally happened—I managed to get some sleep last night and feel much better. I’m trying to walk every day to keep myself sane, and I’m also planning my meals so that, when we go in, I’ll hopefully be at the top of my game, ready for potentially five or more nights of little… Read.
