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!

Gastro Baby Yeah
No idea why I called the post that but it stuck… slight glimpse into my weird inner world maybe! This journey has helped so much with my self acceptance for sure. So today we spoke to our lovely gastro nurse and she’s pleased with Iz. We still have concerns about her eating… the porridge was… Read.

Achievements All Round…
Today Iz ate porridge. Not groundbreaking for most toddlers… but for Iz? Monumental. She ate it without gagging. Without vomiting. Without drama. This is huge. Iz struggles with lumps in food — likely because of her early intubation and tube feeding after birth. It’s actually very common in children who’ve had that start. She also… 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.

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.
