Wow - everyone's had their hands full. I'm so lucky (knocking on wood) that Danielle hasn't really had a major freakout for ages. The last one she has was went she was very young. She had a major pewk in her bed - but I found a reason. I hope I can handle it when she does have one.
Our weekend was good. Go you Mighty Eagles!!!! We left on Friday noon. It took only an hour and a half to get there and Danielle slept the whole way but as soon as we got there she wanted a feed which was cool. The place was an old 60's beach house but did the job. Danielle slept perfectly in her portacot with her normal hours from about 8ish to 6.30ish except for Sunday night which she slept from 7pm when we arrived at the restaurant but I woke her when we got home, fed her again and went straight back to sleep until 7am. She was pretty much perfect during the whole weekend even during the game where it was so noisy (we went to the local Country Club - the only place with beer on tap). She was a bit upset with the noise to start with but went there was we just jiggled her about on our knees and she thought it was great fun. The worst thing was she fell asleep in my arms during the final quarter so I couldn't scream but I managed to get one arm free to wave a streamer but she woke in a fit when the siren went but I took her outside and settled her and she was fine again. It was good as my SIL and DH both took turns to hold and play with her during the game. I hear you guys about the game though - I ended up having to stop drinking at half time and drive everyone back to the house - not happy Jan!! I was hoping for once DH would do it seeing I've been doing it for a good year now!! But I guess I know Danielle's being looked after properly by me and not a drunk me! It was hard to dress Danielle though - in the mornings it was cold so on Saturday I dressed her in her Eagles jumper, jeans, shoes, the works but by the end of the game she was sitting in just a singled jumpsuit as it was so hot! I loved the time away and I think Danielle did too except my SIL thought it was a complete holiday for her on Sunday where I did pretty much everything whist she read the papers. Gave me the shirts a bit but otherwise it was great!! My advice Em - go on a little holiday not to far away but you don't realise how much you need to take for them!! Our car was full of Danielle's things!! We even put Danielle's feet in the sand so she could feel the sand between her toes!!
Oh - I weighed Danielle at Mother's Group on Thursday - she was 6.5 kilos clothed. Even if I took off 1/2 a kilo for nappy, clothes, she still would be 6kg - she's put on 300gms in a week - eeek!! She's a big girl!! We have our 3 month check on Friday so we'll see how that goes. She's got a thing at the moment of poking out her tounge especially when we do it - it's so cute!!
I wanted to go to the Eagles Parade with Danielle today but it's raining and I don't really want to take her in the rain - we'll stay home and tape it for Dad instead!
I hope everyones babies have settled down now. Danielle woke at 3.30am this morning for a feed but I think that's because I put her to bed early so I could go to bed but she's still asleep now.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Hopefully this week's a better week for everyone!!
