ADENOTONSILLECTOMY ✨

Appreciation post for this incredibly resilient and brave little human. If 2024 hadn’t been spicy enough, the last few weeks threw us another curve ball when Harlow had to go in for a last minute removal of her enlarged tonsils and adenoids. When they say recovery from an adenotonsillectomy is long and painful, they’re not exaggerating. It’s a cruel beast of a journey—slow to reveal its toughest challenges, with the most intense days hitting right when you’re already running on fumes.

For Harlow, the climb to peak pain around days 9 and 10 post-op was compounded by the struggle to keep her eating and drinking enough to aid recovery. Dehydration delayed healing, and those peak days—when the scabs began to fall off—were every bit as brutal as we’d been warned. Seeing our brave little girl in so much pain was gut-wrenching, and it felt like nothing we did could ease her discomfort.

But today, at day 14, we can finally say we’ve turned a corner. Her little spark is slowly returning, and with it comes the relief we’ve been holding out for. We’ve been quiet on the gram for the last few months but thought this deserved a spot in the grid for any parents who may be soon to navigate this surgery for their little one.

If so, here are some tips that saved us:
💚Panadol suppositories: These were a godsend to break up the 4-6 hour dosing. Harlow does not enjoy taking oral meds, and this option made things so much easier (for her and her mums).
💚Hydration is hydration, calories are calories: Don’t stress about what they’re consuming. For us, lemonade and popcorn became surprising heroes, helping us sneak in much-needed energy and hydration.
💚Stronger medication: Make sure you leave the hospital with something for breakthrough pain. For us, this was a lifeline—allowing Harlow to get just enough liquid and food in to avoid a return trip to the hospital.

Next up is our little Hendrix going in for grommets and adenoid removal in January 🤪 in the mean time, here’s to a *touches wood* hospital free rest of 2024 ❤️

Happy 4th wedding anniversary to my ride or die ❤️ to be honest, it would be off-brand for us NOT be home with sick kids for our anniversary, so this year we are sticking to what we know. Thanks for that, Adenovirus 😅 Here’s hoping that next year we can finally celebrate a bit more glamorously (or at least with less snot), but for tonight I’m okay with some VPR and a hot toddy ☕️❤️✨

🌈 Happy Le***an Visibility Week! 🌈 it’s that old adage, you can’t be what you can’t see.

HENDRIX BOBBY IS ONE ✨
Our hurricane Henny, you joined our family so hard and so fast and every minute since you have brought so much love and happiness. Dubbed the ‘happiest child at daycare’ you are forever smiling, our ray of sunshine, our pure joy. You also have a unique talent of bringing this joy wherever you go. You don’t waste a minute, constantly trying to force a smile from everyone you meet with your big baby blues and your enigmatic grin. You are intelligent and empathic and with a vibration like no other. Your zest for every day and curiosity of the world around you has meant you never sat still for too long. Crawling at 6 months, walking at 10 months and forever racing for your next milestone. You are truly one of a kind and Harlow is so lucky to have you as her best friend and little brother. We love you endlessly, our little Henny Penny xx

FAMILY TIME 🌈✨ Not many people would know that we held off on taking Nic’s parental leave until we finished the house build. Hendrix came early, Nic was straight back to work and as our build got pushed out further and further we could never have imagined it would take nearly 6 MONTHS until Nic could finally clock off for a few weeks. As her long awaited leave dwindled to an end we decided to spontaneously book a little family getaway and spend the last few days of leave at . It was EXACTLY what we needed after a crazy busy time. The kids were obsessed with the beach pool, and we ended up hiring a private charter boat for a couple of hours… which sounds bougie but was actually so affordable (and so worth it) with . We even had free live entertainment when the skipper (self titled ‘Uncool Neil’) jumped on his guitar and belted out some classics for us. Definitely some core memories made on this trip! We are super keen to book in another trip before the end of the year, so send your kid friendly suggestions! 🥰 🏝️

YES 🖤💛❤️ Women should be consulted on women’s issues. LGBTQIA+ community should be consulted on LGBTQIA+ matters. And our First Nations community should most certainly be consulted on First Nations issues. It’s as simple as that. And it’s a hell YASSSS from this little rainbow fam 🙌

HARLOW’S BIG BED ✨Someone is just a little bit excited about moving into their big bed! Not many people may know that we spent the last 2+ years sharing a bedroom with Harlow (and then Hendrix) while we waited for our house to be built. With the build being delayed way longer than we could have ever imagined, we’d put a hold on certain things but now we’re settling into our new normal and Harlow is so excited about not only her brand new room and big bed (goodbye porta-cot!), but also starting to tackle toilet training with full force. We’re using Little Boss Pads from to avoid the inevitable late night sheet changes from little accidents and keeping the new mattress pristine with their bamboo and cotton blend waterproof mattress protector. The pads absorb up to 2L of liquid (which comes in handy for our toddler that LOVES her liquids 😅), and are machine washable and easy-dry making them a much more sustainable choice for toilet training. We’re just getting started on this journey so if anyone has any toddler toilet training tips please send them our way!

MT WELLINGTON ✨ Such a lovely time exploring chilly Mt Wellington with the kidlets. Harlow even got to live out her Frozen fantasy and see snow for the first time! Hendrix slept the whole time snuggled into his jacket and mama 😅
