Another week has flown by, although we have had a much needed quiet week. Which means it is time for my weekly Ramblings Of A StressedMum -05/07/2023 post. It has been another roller-coaster week. Hope you have all had a great week.

Health

I had my GP appointment yesterday for my diabetes. You rarely see this GP but he is the one who deals with diabetes. He has agreed I can stay off medication and have blood tests at the end of August and we will discuss from there. I did admit to having sugar in my two coffees a day, and was told off. So I came back with I am being good with everything else.
C has been wiped out, now college has finished. She can finally let go and has been resting a lot and is very tired. She has 10 weeks to rest up now.
New Addition

Yesterday, we picked up our new baby, who C has called Gizmo. You may have seen my Instagram post introducing him. He is the baby brother of Pippy and they are getting on ok. Apart from when Pips gets a bit over excited. Gizmo is just 6 weeks, and will let us stroke him and will hop onto our hands. He is a mischief though as he gets in his food bowl and kicks it all out. So have put bowl on the floor of the cage which seems to work. I am spending far too much time with them.
They are in separate cages at the moment, with Gizmo being in the larger flight cage. Which I put together with C on Monday. Once Gizmo is a bit older, we will put them in the same cage.
Giveaways
As mentioned above we have had a very quiet but much needed week of doing nothing. I have been doing a lot of work on the back end of my blog.

These birds are the cutest things I’ve ever seen! My son would love these too for sure
They are cute but noisy together
It’s great to hear that you had a much-needed quiet week and had some time to rest. It’s important to take care of your health, and it’s encouraging that your GP is allowing you to stay off medication for now.
It has been lovely, and hopefully I can stay off medication
They make such a cute pair! Think they will keep you both on your toes!
They are very cute and very cheeky
It’s nice to get rested up before college starts back up. Here’s to a good report for you in August!
It is lovely that we have finished now
I enjoyed reading your weekly ramblings! It sounds like you had a productive GP appointment and it’s great that you’re taking care of your diabetes. Resting up after college sounds well-deserved for C, and congratulations on the new addition, Gizmo! Wishing you all the best with the bonding process and taking care of your little ones. Keep sharing your updates!
The birds are bonding until they get a bit over excited
Those birds are the cutest! Would love to have a couple at home too!
They are too cute
How sweet and it looks like they’ve already bonded well! It’s nice to have two- the pets I think thrive when they have a friend.
I agree Pippy loves having her new little friend
Gizmo is adorable. What a great addition to your family! I hope you continue to have a great month.
He is very cute and has settled in well
Gizmo is so cute! C and Gizmo look like they are happy being together. Love the 2 birds already so cute.
They are very cute
I am glad that C has a long time to try and rest and relax. I am also loving your new addition Gizmo, he is very cute indeed!
She needs to rest up. He may be a baby but he is so cheeky, I have just spent half an hour helping C get them in their cages
that’s good news re diabetes and staying off meds – net the chirpster is highly delighted
I am happy to be staying off the meds. She is very happy
Aw man! How sweet does Gizmo look. I love his coloring!!!
He is beautiful you would not think they were brother and sister
Oh I admire a week of doing not much. But with two young ones, even a weekend is more a rest for them rather than for the parents. I’m usually exhausted on a Monday after being with my two little active ones.
Piplup and Gizmo are just too cute. I love their personalities and their little quirks. I would give them all my time if they were in my house.
It has been lovely and much needed. They get along ok and are so naughty together
The birds are so cute! Looks like C need some rest. I’ve been resting after doing so much stuff lately.
It is lovely to have a bit of quiet time
Gizmo omg he is the cutest ever…I love these birds, they’re gorgeous to have around.
He is cute, too cute and so naughty
