I came home from work today to find that, despite nausea, S had done an amazing job of rearranging our bedroom. This included lifting our enormously heavy latex mattress about five times, hammering nails into various wooden supports and (quite) a few tears of frustration culminating in this lovely sight that greeted my return. We now have a queen and single bed of equal heights, only a foot off the ground. I’m not sure how the vacuum will gain access but I’ll worry about that when the dust bunnies come out to play…

When S first talked about co-sleeping, I was fairly unimpressed by the idea as it sounded like a sure way to have babies who wanted to breastfeed all night, forever. She has remained steadily optimistic that we will find ways to manage and I finally, through gritted teeth, agreed to give it a go.

I’m now quite looking forward to it, and my heart feels happy looking at this big family bed. The multi-coloured blanket on the single bed was generously knitted for me by a work colleague, and we have put our practice B1 and B2 in to have a snuggle.
The paintings on the wall were done by S’s Mum, who died four years ago.
