This happened to me tonight...

I recently figured out that taking my Coco out on a walk during the day results in a good night sleep for her, and, woo hoo, me too. At the moment that translates
to waking up for just one feed between 10pm and 7am. This, is a big deal, because we have been3 hourly feeds night schedule only last week.

We have been out almost everyday over the last week, for Christmas shopping and visiting friends. Today we had no social plans, it was cold outside, by 5pm we were snuggled under the duvet and all I wanted was a nice warm bath and a mint tea. Instead I got myself out of bed, put my lil one in a bear all-in-one suit and off we went to the food shops to buy a few bits and bobs.

My Coco was in her baby carrier, I put my shoes on and off we went. Less than halfway through the walk I noticed a noise. Eventually I looked down to discover I hadn't zipped up the right leg of my boots. The unzipped side of the boot had been slapping the floor.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. Three weeks ago, I had gone through the trouble of packing a bottle of expressed milk for an afternoon out. We went to the Pottery Cafe and decorated tiles (which they glazed for us). When the hunger cries began I went to take out the bottle from the warmer bag only to realise I hadn't packed a teat, just the Medela bottle and cap straight from the fridge.

A good number of times, I have noticed my shirt folded or bunched-up out in public, after having nursed in a private space, but just forgotten to erh, adjust myself. Atleast, there's always a spaghetti strap top underneath my shirt.

And the worst... my short term memory is now horrendous. I ask a question, to friends, Mister, Mum only to be reminded that I had asked the same exact question and been provided an answer.

Oh how I miss sleep.
