Oh, it's as much the old problem of calling people by first name who taught you as a child as which name. It never gets easy to do, maybe.
Right. Books. Books is a thing I can do. I'll start figuring out some useful things, then. Books are reassuring. They stay put in my head.
The thing about babies
It's not that I'm not used to them. (Eight nieces and nephews - going to be nine, and I was old enough to remember my youngest brother as a baby and help.) It's. Well.
Raz and I were planning on trying this autumn. For our own. And I'd expected to spend the summer sorting out the practical parts. So it's raw. Very.
We hadn't told people we were going to, though Mum and Dad and Tosha and Storm and Di know now. And it's my own thing to deal with. But I didn't want you to think that it was the babies that were the problem. Just me.
