    Morning WB :) Hope the first week has gone as well as can be expected and if you're there this weekend that you've managed to sort the older 2 out to go to their friends.

    If coffee is what gets you through keep drinking it :D xx
  • Hope this week has gone as well as it could and you are having some downtime this weekend.

    Evening.

    No weekend off unfortunately just as full on as through the week. If not more. We are hitting the peak of the bad stuff and it's hard. I don't think it ever gets easier pinning down your little one why they get cannulas and things done. It's definitely been a tough few days. I've definitely spent more than I should on coffee for me and sweets for youngest.

    I'm praying this will all pay off.

    Hope you've all had a lovely weekend xx

    You are doing so well, it must be so hard to keep her still for the meds or whatever they are doing, but if you are at or almost at the peak of the hard stuff at least you know it will start to get better soon - and you are 1/4 of the way through now and heading to halfway so keep going and keep reminding yourself that you are one fantastic mother who deserves every mouthful of coffee and more (and little one deserves the sweets) :)
