Paraphernalia

I've had a lovely weekend.  A nice outing with my boy followed by lunch with my parents yesterday.  Today I was in the pool with my boy, then we were out with friends, and had a nice play and bath again this evening.  

Yesterday morning I was maintaining some of our baby paraphernalia.  Cleaning the steriliser, changing the filter in the bottle preparation machine and checking all the bottles were in good order.

For some reason it reminded me of unboxing a lot of this stuff and setting it up for the first time.  That all happened when MrsCyclops and BabyCyclops were still in the hospital.  At the time I was somewhere between excited about BabyCyclops coming home, terrified about him coming home, and even more terrified that one or both of them wouldn't make it.  Just for a moment I was transported 10 or 11 months to that point in time...

Maybe I've been reminded about those times because I was looking at old blips - checking my backups were OK.  It's funny how flipping back through old blips and everyday activities can can trigger such visceral memories.
