12 weeks of getting to know this little man.

12 weeks of doubting everything and learning something new every day.

12 weeks of my heart exploding every time I look at him.

This is the number of patients who need to be admitted to #UHL and have been left on trolleys today.
No privacy.
No dignity.
No adequate treatment.
This is not healthcare.
This is not good enough.

Watched the third quarter of the SuperBowl. I don’t even have words for how terrible a game it is. Literally nothing happened. All restarts of plays but no moving forward or any sportsmanship.

Baffling that these lads get paid millions!!

Make yourself happy before anyone else. Once you’re happy and not hurting anyone, forget anyone else’s opinions

Have you tried valerian root? It’s the basic ingredient in rescue remedy. I took it on its own pre pregnancy when I couldn’t sleep and I swore by it. Tastes rotten but does the job

Absolute heros, all of the front line staff are. Thanks to the cleaners and nursing home staff, those looking after kids in residential homes, and all our health workers. Thank you all πŸ’š

Nothing as bad as serious pain. Is it worth seeing a VHI clinic/walk in? You’d like to think someone would have a solution for ya especially over the holidays

Never so happy to have a little new baby bubble at home this year. Seeing visions of Dunnes stores queues and town full of people is vile πŸ€£πŸŽ„
