Oooh, Charlotte, great news on the weight gain and physio! Hannah is in good company, Millie has two tiny holes in her heart that will hopefully close over as she grows. I hope the fluid drains out. A friend's little girl had grommets put in and she's absolutely perfect now. Not that you and Hannah will be keen on having more surgeries... but it's good to know that these things can be fixed. You're doing an awesome job
EJ sorry to hear that your boys are still unwell. Poor little guys I think the soft surface probably would impact on the accuracy of the scales. I haven't had Millie weighed since her 4 month shots... erm, whoops. Might take her to the pharmacy next week and bung her on the scales there.
MadB, agreed on submission and letting go being hard... but it's worth it. Having previously been a total control freak, I'm astounded by how much I have been able to yield to Millie.
Hugs Jules, I hope you're doing alright.
Crumpet, Millie started 'swimming' at about 14 weeks. I am taking her to lessons, you can see some of the activities we do here. AT this age it just builds water confidence and the aim is to get them used to rolling from front to back and floating on their back if they fall in. My in-laws have a pool, and I am not the most confident swimmer, so for both our sakes I wanted to start her early. It's a lot of fun, and has the added bonus that she conks out for hours afterwards!
Kaz, I'm so glad your first day went alright and that Will greeted you with a smile. I don't blame you for crying though, I have already warned my head teacher that I'll be totally useless my first day back.
Tuesday was the Day of the Catnaps here. 20 minutes tops. Phew. Yesterday was much better, went outlet shopping with three other mums from my mothers' group, which was fun! Got a few discounted summer clothes in larger sizes for when we go to Germany. Today we had our walk in the park, and she had her first go facing out in the baby bjorn. LOVED it, but clearly didn't want to stop, as she threw a world-class tanty when we stopped for coffee. I tried everything I could think of, but in the end had to skoll my chai and leave. As soon as I started walking, she quieted down, of course, and was babbling away in the car. She slept for a few hours, and then had a hissy fit again part way through her 2pm feed. She was arching her back and throwing herself around, so I put her over my knees and rubbed her back until she let out some massive burps. Great! Much better. Gave her the bottle back thinking she'd take a tiny bit more. She drained it, then, with a massive belch, projectile chucked most of it all over me, all over herself, all over the lounge, all over the floor. Then smiled. I roared with laughter - if you'd told me a year ago I could laugh whilst sitting in a puddle of vomit, I certainly wouldn't have believed it!
