Clarrie had a fantastic sleep last night (we all did!) - from 7 til 6am with just a couple of little murmurs but he didn't wake up. Then he went back to sleep from 7am-8am (as did I, just don't tell poor John as he was at work from 5.45 . Sal, he works at a winery supervising the bottling line and they are just flat out at the moment and have had to do double shifts for 2 weeks to get through the orders.)
And tonight I went to a yoga class and am feeling proud of myself for actually getting out and getting there (only 5 minutes late, too).
Somehow I didn't manage to do any gardening today, just housework. Sal, I think I feel about housework the way you do about gardening... moan, moan, moan....
Tomorrow we have our 6 month check-up and probably Clarrie's shots as well.
Lisa, good to hear your enthusiasm about your course! I think a little bit is rubbing of on me. Re. the tests to take as a mature age student, maybe there is someone that you know that can be mentor/help with all that? I've done some uni study and I can't believe how confusing it is just trying to find out information about the teaching courses I'm thinking of doing. It's a minefield out there. You've just got to wade through it all and ask lots of questions. Good luck!!
Sal, re. the Ergo - we just love it, but haven't tried a Baby Bjorn at all. I've heard a few negative comments about BB, but also a couple of people I know have like it. I think a lot depends on your baby and your body shape. Miles couldn't be that much heavier than Clarrie and I really don't find him heavy in it at all. I walk around everywhere with him in it and we have a very steep, hilly property! That said, the HugABub is still fine as well. It's just that the Ergo is soooooooooo easy to get on and off!!
Yael, so good to hear you are 'connected' again. Sounds like things are going really well. It must be exciting to have a little tooth through! And like the others, hope things go well with the surgery. I can't believe you have been putting up with that pain all this time, you poor thing.
And Sal, good to hear about the room temperature. Hopefully in Canberra you won't have to worry too much about keeping the room cool for the hot little man in summer!! I have taken Clarrie out of the sleeping bag thing we have been using lately and just using a wool blanket as i think he was getting too hot in it. I know what you mean about about the scratching on the mesh of the hammock. that is so funny. Sometimes he seems to do it in his sleep!!!
I've finally got into reading again after a month or so. I was trying to read The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood and just couldn't get into it, then I picked up The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult from the library. This is very easy to read and quite a page-turner. About a 14 year old girl who gets date raped, but a very complex tale.
Hope everyone else is doing well. Haven't heard from Jillian for while, too.
