I haven't had much to contribute to the community for a while now, and I want to cut right back on screen activities now the baby is becoming more aware of everything we're doing day to day. I give you all my greatest love and thanks, it's been wonderful 🥰

Hello friends, this is a weird thing to ~announce but I didn't want to just flat out disappear. I am bidding fandom spaces a loving goodbye after 6 very lovely consecutive years between SC and ofmd, so you likely won't see me about going forward.

Hello friends! Next weekend my family and I are taking part in a charity fundraiser walk for the hospice that cared for my dad earlier this year. I don't like asking for money for nothing, so I am offering up some of my handmade ceramics as part of my fundraising 😌

Pleased to announce that Cat and Bebe are now tentatively friends 🎉

A tortoiseshell cat sitting on my lap on the garden. The baby is also on my lap, reaching out with both hands to manhandle the cat's fur. Cat, to her great credit, is tolerating this behaviour wonderfully.

Mmmmm KCSIE 2026 being like LGBTQ+ kids are vulnerable and need to be effectively safeguarded and in the same breath being like schools have now gotta aggressively police kids who might be questioning or experimenting with gender like LOOK AT YOURSELF. contradictory-ass guidance for fucks sake.

My maternity leave doesn't end until mid April next year, but I'm finishing up the second of two keeping in touch days back at work and I will say I have a brand new understanding for why people become stay at home parents. Leaving Bebe at home has been ROUGH 😭😭

She had a great day and I only cried three times so quite frankly I'm considering it a resounding success

Babe is going to my mum's for the day so I can do a KIT day at work and she's taking a little post 5am milky nap on my chest before we get up for the day and I already miss her??? What is that about 😭

My family and i are participating in a fundraising walk in a few weeks for the hospice that cared for my dad, and did a practise run today. It's only 5 miles but I haven't walked 5 miles since before Bebe was born and my god the c section is still doing a number on me 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

If I could only bottle the oxytocin of the baby snuggling hard into my chest to fall asleep, and/or her tiny little smile when she wakes up and makes eye contact with me, i'd be unstoppable. Sod syntocinon, pump me full of sleepy baby feelings.

She's also discovered that the cat exists and is both in love with her and fascinated by her now so you know, big week in baby world

I've rolled her back out of it twice so far this morning and both times she IMMEDIATELY rolled back on to her belly so I'm like you're on your own kid 😂

Like, EVERY TIME her face is like "who tf put me in tummy time, mama bETRAYED ME" like girl it was YOU that put you on tummy time, mama is an innocent party here

em 🌩️🦊 @slightestwind.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The Bebe has figured out back to belly rolling, which is GREAT!! but unfortunately that just means she gets instantly cross every time because she's on her belly and can't figure out how to get back over, and tummy time is the Devil's Work (in her unbiased opinion) 🫠

And the song may have come out 4 years after the story set but I do think of 7.3 ed and the lines "late august angst and a pointless night, oh and the feeling of being alive for the first time in a long time" like britneyyeah.gif

Absolute madness that last week we were sweating our tits off and the Bebe was sleeping in just a vest and tonight she's in a vest, sleepsuit, and spring/autumn sleeping bag because it's bloody chilly af

Someone pls tell my baby that waking at 4am for milk is absolutely fine, but rotating around her crib like a particularly energetic pair of clock hands is not really the post milky activity I'm after at this time of the morning 🫠

Nvm she woke up at 12, 3.30, 4.45 and 6.20 lolllll please roll on autumn I'm begging

It's as hot as hell's dickhole in our bedroom so tell me why tonight we have inexplicably had the easiest baby bedtime in over a week??? I'm sweating my tits off and she's sleeping almost completely soundly in her little crib. Explain your witchcraft, child.

Managed to get the Bebe into a really sought after local forest school nursery for next year and I'm so happy. They have acres of private woodland, an actual forest school practitioner for the pre-school year, and a really lovely emphasis on outside play and learning 🥰

My 4 month old has been on nap strike since her hospital stay, refusing anything more than 3 x 30 minute naps a day (30 mins on the DOT. Every time.) she fell asleep on me an hour and 17 minutes ago and is still going. I don't know what to do other than remain trapped here indefinitely 🥲

Could do without the pre-teen possible appendicitis case who's marching around the ward very happily with his THREE very loud adult chaperones though.

Thought the baby looked a little grey around the mouth this morning. 12 hours, an ambulance ride, a chest x-ray, blood tests, and 3 attempts at an ecg later we're doing a cheeky little overnight in pediatrics because they've detected a little heart murmur and want to monitor 😭

You can buy all the age and developmentally appropriate toys as you want for your baby, but ultimately their favourite thing will be the muslin cloth of the day.

Update to this, Mr Em has rewatched this movie twice since saturday. He came home today 3 hours in to the phm audiobook. When I tell you we have been together for 11 years and this is the first fiction book he has consumed in that entire time.

It's also now short enough that the baby can't get her clammy little hands (aff) caught in it anywhere near as easily which is a win for both of us tbh
