@RebeccaCNReid But how can you clean with a baby-not-baby? I am 13 months in to the motherhood lark and cannot fathom how to do this now that she can move

I’m at Oliver Cromwell’s house this afternoon, and I’m not sure he would have been *totally* on board with the decor??

The hound has a poorly stomach. The poos are now so bad that we have to shower her arse after each trip outside. I used to spend nights doing fun stuff like shagging and sleeping. Now, I am showering my dogs arse. What is life

Happy International Women’s Day. I shall be celebrating in the traditional way - by cancelling my freelance work to take care of my vomiting baby. While she naps I will be clearing up the vomit, washing vomit clothes, and mainlining coffee. Don’t tell me I don’t know how to party

Parenting is fun because you’ll be having a lovely morning, and then you’ll put your hand in your pocket and find porridge

@InspirationMgmt Thanks guys! The best agency! X

[Emily Wickham @emilyrwickham]

I don’t understand why my child hates sleep. Sleep is lovely. I miss it very much. And yet each night the baby has a little party for a few hours. Just go to sleep you squishy fool

@RamsdenVerity Aren’t they fantastic! Lots of joy on my dog walks and commute

@jimsyjampots My now 8mo has been on the 98th centile from her first scan and after my 35w scan they strongly recommended an c-section at 37w (9lbs7). History of stillbirth, so everyone was v keen for everything to go well. Section worked for me and helped my fear of anything going wrong x

I will never take for granted how lucky I am to have both sets of baby’s grandparents near by. Without their childcare I wouldn’t be able to afford to go back to work in the new year. Nursery is £74/day, so it’s pay that or pay the bills. Can’t do both. Thank god for grandparents

I need a growlery

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

@rachellos Polly sends fluffy cuddles x

@TomMcGrath26 @emma_mcgrath93 It’s such a gorgeous episode! Tears were shed. Along with Baby Race.

@DeborahAWastell Thank you so much, DW. What a wonderful human you are ❤️❤️❤️

[Emily Wickham @emilyrwickham]

I do not know how to be a working mother. It’s really hard. Feel like I’m offering up a rubbish version of myself to both work and my daughter. It will get easier, she’s still so small, but for now it’s HARD

#worlddiabetesday and also two years to the day since I went to A&E thinking I was just a bit stressed & left three days later with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. This is what I’ve learned in two years of managing a chronic condition that most people think is a joke 🧵:

[Emily Wickham @emilyrwickham]

@DeborahAWastell It’s getting more and more ridiculous. I’m just not quite sure how the right wing in this country can look at the ‘MSM’ and think that it’s biased to the left! The Mail is just Tory/RW propaganda. Baffles me.

[Emily Wickham @emilyrwickham]

I can think of a few people, yeah. Utter dregs

[Emily Wickham @emilyrwickham]

Dreamed last night that fascist loons took over and were hunting people down, specifically my baby. I was frantically trying to pack and get out, and the chap responded “well we knew what we were getting into when we had her, we knew this could happen.” And honestly fuck anxiety.
