Monday, 6 May 2013: Five Weeks Old.

I upgraded myself to “legendary” today, after I managed to fit myself, Ayla, a pram and our 45kg Dog into my tiny Hyundai.

It’s amazing the ingenuity you can find when the dreaded “motherhood cabin fever” sets in.

And it’s amazing how proficient you get at cramming the countless baby-related items you need to take with you into deceptively small spaces… like a car, or a handbag.

The brain strain was worth it though; it meant the three of us got a couple of hours out of the house, enjoying the cool sea air and gorgeous views by the foreshore.
