The mental health nurse who figured out that I had PND organised a pram walk with another couple of mums with PND. Today we meet up and had a lovely walk around some lakes and bush land and then had a coffee and chatted. It was only me and one other mum this time as the other mum was hospitalised again as she has PND very badly. It was great to go for a good work out and worked up a sweat. We are going to meet up again next Wednesday and do it again and hopefully we will do it every week. I am getting more confident with taking JD out and about now. But I still need to settle him in the sling before putting him in his pram.
I am going to attempt to do the grocery shopping with him tomorrow when my mum comes over. Cross fingers that goes well. I explained to the nurse that I am still anxious about JD crying but now mainly when he does it in front of other people and especially at Mothers Group. She explained that if I dont start getting JD used to settling with other people like family and child care workers etc then he will have a very hard time when it comes to going to day care and school and its not fair on him and it will end up causing him to be an anxious child especially when I am not around. Well that really spoke to me and now I am going to try and make sure that I do that more often.

Well I better go and make my dinner. JD self settled again this afternoon so I pray he sleeps till 8ish when he is due for his shower and bottle. I am getting a lot of smiles and cooing out of him when he is awake now, I find I am not getting anything done cause I just want to sit and play with him. Which reminds me I better empty the dishwasher. See ya lovely mummies.
