HELLO lovely Mummies and Bubbies,
Its been absolutely AGES! Ive missed reading about one and all. Good to read all are doing soooo well. (just took me HOURS of reading) The different stages of all the little ones is amazing.
Well.. the latest from us.
We arrived home from our overseas trip on Sunday. Boy we had a brilliant time. It was so good to see my dad hold and get to know his grandson after all that time!!! Brought tears to our eyes. My family in both Dubai and Holland where fabulous. I miss them so much!!! If only Europe was closer and cheaper to get too.
Joshua was brilliant the whole trip. Our routine was all over the shop. But he handled that well and we managed fine. Even being in and out planes.. cars and peoples arms.. the little man wasn't worried! I'M SO VERY VERY VERY PROUD OF HIM! The only drama we had in regards to flying was the home trip. Flying from Dubai back to Brisbane via Singapore. We where not allocated the bassinet seats as per normal and what we paid for!! Lucky enough we where moved, thanks to some very understanding people the first of the 2 flights. Other young babies where not so lucky!!!But the second flight (same plane) no one wanted to move and give up their "extra" leg room. So my little angel was in my arms the entire 8 hours. Needless to say .. he was less than happy about that. It sure made his sleeping, his farex eating, and our eating a challenge. Not too mention our own rest. We got through it.. but very cranky!
Since arriving home, the little man has been the most unsettled in the whole trip. Jet lag is hard enough on me as an adult... Joshua just didn't know night from day anymore. Today is the first day of normality. He slept through better!! Making me more rested too.
I gave him a bottle of formula for the last feed before bed. As the last couple of weeks he seems to need more. Started him on the farex while with my parents in Dubai. BOY did he gobble that down like a little trooper!! But I found in the last couple of days/nights he still wants more from me than I seem to have. Starting to feel the loss of our close contact and bond. And at the same time looking forward to a little more "freedom". Being able to leave him with family while we go out for a nice dinner!! Goes to show for every negative there is a positive.
Other than that.. we are trying to get back to normality. DH lost his license so im driving him too and from work. We are looking to move by the end of the year. And I have this burning desire to organise my house and life completely! Go figure. So busy busy busy little bee!
Might leave my essay at that. Look forward to reading more news and adventures from you. Take Care.
Tascha
