About Me

I hail from Auckland, and currently reside in Dunedin.  Once again I’m lactating, having given birth to my third bubba, now five months old.  Mister five calls her “boo boo”.  Miss eight constantly wants to hold her … I think she’s the most spoilt baby in the world with all the attention they dote on her.

 I’m married to the loudest couch ref you’ve ever come across. He’s also a geek and tweets here.  He’s my rock.

I recently suffered post natal depression after the birth of my third baby … something that I never expected.  I felt like my life was falling apart.  At my worst, I become an insomniac. Even sleeping tablets were unable to help me sleep.  I couldn’t eat and lost 17 kilos, was extremely anxious and unable to cope.  I couldn’t make decisions and I couldn’t sit still.  I couldn’t concentrate enough to hold conversations.  I couldn’t even watch TV or read a book.  I got hot and cold flushes. I thought my life was falling apart.  It was the most depilating experience I’ve ever lived through.   I’m fine now that I am a medicated mama. Every night I take 2 citalopram tablets (40mg).  If you want to talk to me about postal natal depression, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

Kisses & hugs,
