Hey folks
Quick personals first....
Squidipa YAY FOR JOSIAH'S WEIGHT GAIN! You must be sooo happy that all your hard work is paying off! Well done.
Vic - cute photos, must have been a fun party! Love the lady bug outfit!
Mel - Miss M is so tall! Hope DS starts being good for you again, sounds like he's been hard work lately! And great of your mum to take him for the day - what a shame you had to waste it on housework LOL
Sash - what a PITA! but at least Kye enjoyed his train ride! Train is about the only transport we haven't tried Beth on yet. She has tried a car, plane, bus and boat!
MM & SB - no AF here either.... and Beth has been sleeping through (mostly) for a couple of weeks. The Bear keeps saying he thinks I am pregnant again cause I have been a little lazy about contraception lately and I still have a little pot belly. God I hope not, Really don't want to be pregnant again right now! Have to be more careful!
Leash, kiwigirl, mel, it's funny how they like our singing! No one else in the world would like mine, I guess that's one of the joys of parenthood LOL - great song Leash
(Mel you're excused from reading the rest as I already posted it on July)
Well, we have had a super busy weekend. Friday night was the big 60th birthday bash for the ILs. They had a great time. We took Beth all dressed in pink with little fairy wings which everyone thought was sooooo cute (took one cute pic which I'll post eventually). But it was at a lousy time for a 12 week old baby.... it started at 7pm and went on all night, and there was a live band, and lights and dozens of drunk people who all wanted to squeeze her cheeks and cuddle her. She hadn't had a proper nap in the afternoon so she was pretty much on the verge of a nervous breakdown the whole time. We didn't really let people cuddle her because she would have just screamed the house down. We left about 10.30. Yesterday we had the markets in the morning and in the afternoon we had a boat cruise around the harbour which the Bear organised with my (sort of) uncle. It was a great day and much better for Beth, she slept a lot because the rocking of the boat was very soothing. But she also got passed around and made googoo eyes at people. The Bear's sister is in town (both his siblings are in Australia for the 60th) and she is really ing me off. She is constantly trying to grab Beth and then immediately starts posing for photos with her. You can just see her thinking "I look so good with this baby". Her mother and husband are always on standby with the camera as soon as she picks Beth up. She has never taken any interest in us (the feeling is pretty mutual) but now she has tried to invite herself over for dinner next week. I don't really want her to come especially since I have guests 2 other nights this week, I think cooking for guests 3 times in one week is too much to ask, and since she is the least welcome I think we will tell her to organise a baby-friendly cafe. of course she is such a cheapskate she will just get her mother to cook so it will be dinner at the PILs. The photo thing really annoys me too, because no one takes photos of me with Beth. There are going to be more photos of SIL holding Beth with that ghoulish creepy smile than of me with her. The poor baby is going to grow up thinking I didn't love her
And my mum is back from Italy tomorrow so we will lose our second car and the one we were going to borrow next has fallen through.... so it's walkies for me again!
