H has given O a stinking cold. He keeps choking on his own snot, which for a 10 week old is quite the ordeal. He’s also not sleeping. At all. Unless upright or lying on another human. Know it’ll pass but it’s a killer when you’re in the midst of it.
Huge thanks to all the midwives/hcas and domestics working over the last few days for @NCICNHS in Carlisle. It’s been pretty crappy being away from @OneLifeStand87 and the other two small people but Owen and I are being cared for brilliantly and yes I’m as tired as I look!
This little dude has been keeping us busy but we seem to have turned a corner and honestly anyone who works with sick children and their parents deserve all the money!! Owen Edward Hunter we love you 💙

So I’ve completed week 4 and actually don’t mind it too much. My main issue is my knees (my right one in particular). They’re wrecking after running and for 24 hours after. I’m stretching before and after running and I know a lot of it will be due to them having to bear the brunt
of my weight pounding them when I’m running but does anyone have any tips on how to minimise the pain. It’s making running quite hard! #running#couchto5k#soreknees#runninghelp
First dose of my Covid vaccine today. Incredibly grateful to my surgery and all the wonderful volunteers manning the clinic and pointing us all in the right direction. It was incredibly efficient!!
Found these in a cupboard I’m clearing out and they made me so incredibly sad. Every Sunday @OneLifeStand87 would take Andrew swimming. It was their ‘thing’. Covid has robbed them of their weekly adventure. Not just because the pool is shut but because long covid has wreaked
