I tried to catch up yesterday, but little miss decided she wanted all my attention (and I certainly didn't mind giving it to her). She decided to be cute and coo and carry on all afternoon. I just sat with her marveling at how much she's grown and learned in 2 short months. It's so much fun to be able to have a "conversation" with her now, where she copies (or tries to copy) the noises I make. So cute. It's moments like those that make it all worthwhile.
I had my first mothers group yesterday. It was really good! I was kinda nervous at first, but there are five of us and all the girls are really nice. The babies range from just over one month to three months, so all our bubs are fairly close in age, and we're all about the same age and all with our first bubs. We have 6 formal structured sessions over 6 weeks, and then it's up to us whether we continue to meet informally. Most groups do apparently. 4 out of 5 of us had emergency c-sections! Yesterday's group was mostly about "debriefing the birth experience" and it was interesting to hear about others' experiences. Next week we have a trainer from Qld Ambulance come and teach us about infant/child first aid and CPR. Should be a good one.
Hannah's having her polio injection today. Poor kid. I feed bad making her go through this twice, but I really did want her to get the inactivated one. I have to pick it up from the chemist and then head over to my gp for 130pm.
Heather - still thinkin' of ya. It must be so hard for you. But as you say, little Hendrix makes for a good reason to get on with things. Glad he's sleeping well for you. Enjoy your bath (hopefully uninterrupted)
Michelle - Woohoo on the 8 hour sleep! That's just fantastic! I know what you mean about the kids coming first. I used to buy myself stuff all the time (clothing items, shoes, skin care stuff etc.) but now I really prefer spending what money I have on Hannah. All part of the mummy mindset I think. Glad you're feeling better....but sorry to hear you've been having a rough time of it. I imagine AF wouldn't have helped much, but your hormones can be all over the place for months after birth too. Just try to take care of yourself. Do something nice for yourself today, and then post about it so I know you did it! Otherwise I'll hassle you 'til you do!
Dee - Now that I think about it, I do still seem to get hotter than everyone else. Especially in buildings with heating.
Brooke - does the chiro seem to help? I'm sure I saw a segment on this on tv a little while ago. Some people seem to swear by it. I've never been to a chiro myself though, so I'm a bit clueless!
