Cold Turkey

I've just returned from a 3 day trip to a work conference in Washington. I am going back to work after US Thanksgiving (2 weeks) but had decided to go on this key conference in advance of my return. Was very strange to be away from Izzy and I was sad to leave her. However the conference was worth it and I managed to hold myself together.

Lucy looked after Izzy by day, and did a brilliant job. Not sure Izzy even noticed I was gone. Boo hoo. Malc. did the breakfast/evening/night shift. We have started weaning her on to formula anyway so she was OK with bottles. It does seem that she drank a lot more when I wasn't around though than she would normally get. Let's just call her Isabella "Roly Poly" Whitehurst.

It is wonderful to be back and get super big smiles. I can now enjoy the next two weeks even more.
