We parked and strolled to the Octav Botnar Wing (of Great Ormond St Hospital) with enough time to kill. Liza filled in the registration form while we sat down waiting for Dr Stefano Guiliani.

He consulted and confirmed the tongue tie with a two-second examination. I held your hands down while he snipped the “string” between the lower side of your tongue and the floor of your mouth. It didn’t take all of five seconds. There was a teeny bit of blood and the procedure was completely painless. Honestly, I felt I could’ve done it myself (especially after seeing the invoice). I’ll have to massage your tongue every day for about three weeks so we don’t get a reoccurrence. Yes, the tie can return.

From there we walked to Menya Ramen and had a delicious lunch. The amount of FUSi work I have to finish keeps me up at night. But I’ve been too tired (and sleep-deprived) to do anything creative. So when we got back, I slouched on the couch with some comfort food. I finished watching The Gray Man and Prey. I won’t remember the former. Prey was an interesting prequel to a classic.

I fed you using one of the anti-colic Tommee Tippee bottles your mother bought from Amazon. It didn’t work so now I’m googling around for “how to” videos. I felt sorry for you hiccupping on the floor so I carried you to sleep. You were smiling in moments and pulling funny faces as you dosed off. They made me laugh.

While changing your nappy, I noticed a bit of bum rash emerging. I showed Liza and applied some of the Aveeno baby cream we received from Zeddie. It’s the only thing we had. I’m sure it’ll suffice for now. But for sure, we’ll keep an eye on it.
