seven more sleeps
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Now I don't want to be maudlin. Indeed, one could veer towards a sort of self-aggrandizement over this sort of thing (motherhood is not the only important bond). But I do miss her a lot. Especially after hearing her chirpy little voice on the phone last night, after which her bedroom seemed very empty, and the house very quiet. Until Maggie started sqauwking at 11.00pm, that is.
Nevertheless, by all accounts, including hers, she's getting along splendidly up there without us: highlights of her visit so far include goslings, quadruptlets, a stuffed polar bear and as much chocolate as is a grandparent's perogative to bestow. And in the meantime we are making the best, and the most, of her absence, by doing the sorts of things that are difficult to schedule when you have a lively three-and-a-half-year-old as well as a four-monther to consider. Such as not doing very much at all. After all, as it turns out, taking things easy while you're nursing increases your milk supply. Who knew?
