Good afternoon ladies - I thought I would come in and say a quick hello before Miss Allegra wakes up.

Ooops too late. I can hear her now. BRB.

OK - she just wanted to 2 minute cuddle and she is back to sleep. Thankfully she is still sleeping very well, during the day around 3-4 hours and at night the same. Last night she was up about every 2-3 hours but I think it was because she was warm and was thirsty and she is growing through a growth spirt because today DH John, my mum and I all thought she felt heavier and the ECHC nurse came for the home visit today and she has put on just over 100g since Thursday afternoon YAY!!

Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes. I am kind of over it now and feel silly for even thinking along those lines but I guess Birthdays are a special thing... its the big 30 for me next year though, so there better be a LOT of fuss.... and diamonds

Akeesha - pre bubs I worked for a PR company as a publicist. The company I work for specialises in sports and media management, so I guess you could say that my boss is like Jerry McGuire! I loved doing it and will eventually work perhaps a day from home as Allegra gets bigger. Although I am keen to start writing a novel, which is what I always intended to do when we started a family. Being a writer has always been my passion.

GYM - weight loss hmmmm well I am back into a lot of pre-pregnancy clothes but I still have a little to lose. I dont think I will ever get back under the 50kg mark but I will be happy if I was to get in the low 50's so I can fit into a lot of lovely things that I have hanging there that just dont do up quite yet. Am starting to walk a little bit but dont want to over do it yet. I find walking loses weight for me very quick and combining breastfeeding and good diet with that I should be svelt again sooner rather than later.

I was thinking today that everyone seems to be doing so much with their bubs every day but I dont seem to be getting anywhere much with Allegra. I guess the fact that she is so small (still only 2.3kgs) puts me off taking her out too much - do you think I am being paranoid a bit? We went to a picnic yesterday and go to the shops a little but as she is too small for her baby bjorn I have to take her pram and I am still a little uncertain. Is any other first time mum like this?

Anyway.. going to check on dinner. DH just called and will be home soon, then its baby bath time, feed and bed and then dinner for mummy and daddy and Desperate Housewives yayayayayay

Have a good evening ladies.
