I knew it would be hard but I thought that I would be able to go out into the vegie patch and have bubs asleep in his basinette covered & safe while I pottered away...not possible with a reflux bub that cried non stop... I also thought we could travel easier...again wrong... And I too, had the dream that we would lay together and cuddle up for a sleep (that's never happened)... But the good times definitely outweigh the bad things.
