Lara - it's great that you were able to share your experiences with others in the same situation as you. I think that to have that kind of support is really important. I hope you made some good contacts and got some ideas out of it. Enjoy the swimming... I have taken Charlie to one lesson with my brother's gf who used to teach learn to swim classes and it was very cute. He wouldn't let go of me for one second! I'm sure next time will be better.
Mitch - Girls must be so much fun to shop for! I have a squiz sometimes when I'm buying stuff for Charlie and the outfits are so adorable. You'll have to show us some pics of the girls dressed the same... so cute! I do have some kind of routine - the feed/eat/play/sook/sleep - but it's anybody's guess what time the sleeping happens. It can be two longs sleeps/a power nap and two short sleeps/a power nap and one sleep... who knows? It's very unpredictable. Wow... sounds like you have a busy weekend! Hope it's fun for you.
Rose - I think with our next bub I will try to be more in a routine from the beginning. We still felt like we were all just learning what to do and were really just coping from day to day, but next time we'll be better prepared. I will write an email to the Baby Whisperer after I finish here and try to get her in to help.
Mooshie - I imagine it would be more difficult to stay in a routine with more than one child. You guys sound so busy! Hooray for Lani's 2nd tooth! Charlie gets constipated too when he's teething... I think it depends on what kind of child he/she is. If the child is more on the constipated side generally anyway he/she will probably be more so when he/she is teething. If you think about it, adults are usually more one way than the other too. Traffic school sounds so cute! I'd never heard of it before. Glad you had a nice time.
Anyway, not much to report here. I was worried because Charlie wasn't eating well lately but then it occurred to me that he might not like the mix of veggies I did for him this time. I did up another batch with different stuff in it, and voila! Back to normal. Dh gets worried when he doesn't eat much for one meal or another, but he doesn't realise that bubs are like adults - if you don't eat much at one meal you're bound to make it up at the next, or the next day. Going for a long walk to MIL (1 1/2 hours) today with Charlie in the pram, so I hope he likes it! I usually go for an hour about 4-5 times a week, but I haven't done a longer walk like that for a few weeks. Hope he doesn't get grizzly! Then tomorrow we're going to Dh's friend's house for an Asian barbecue. Don't think that's very WW friendly! Oh well, will be delicious.
Lots to do before C wakes up. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
