Under the Weather

Under the weather - an odd phrase, (as well as two fab songs by Feeder and KT Tunstall) but a good way of describing someone who is not necessarily  ill, but not their normal self. Like my bubba today. She slept in about an hour and a half later than usual today (woohoo!) but then didn't finish her breakfast (not like her at all - usually she's a bottomless pit and will eat anything!) She also didn't finish her bottle and is generally, well, under the weather. She's usually all smiles but I've barely seen a smile all day, and she's very quiet, not babbling away like she usually does. If it were another baby I wouldn't think anything of it, she's not crying or being sick, but I can tell she's not right cos I'm her mummy and we spend all (well, most) of our time together. There's a lot to be said for mothers instinct, but I think a lot of it, rather than instinct, comes from knowing your baby (or child, or indeed any other friend or relative) so well just from spending time with them. I'm not worried enough to take her to the doctors, I'm just gonna keep an eye on her and give her lots of cuddles. Oh, and I think the routine may go out the window today!
