Bath- oh either we didnt get the thunderstorm last night or i slept through it! It was a bit wet outside thismorning and thought we must have got a little rain. Thunderstorms scare me to though if i had heard it i would have jumped out of bed!
Thanks Rory & Dee, slowly its starting to sink in. There will be 18month gap between Nixon and bub. Happy 8months Flynnie!
Well I don't think I'm nuts... Infact I think Im great! Lots of other parents can do it so i know i can too Im really exciting about extending our family. Dee i think there is 18-19months between Nathan and Melissa isnt there? Are you a nutter too?! od Dee i just realised that your avater you still have a preggie belly??
Aww, Nic, I meant that in a cheeky way, don't take it to mean I was criticising! I think it's great (in fact, I DID say that, too, don't forget!). When one hears news like this you get excited and happy, then naturally think 'what if it were me?' and then that's when I think 'I'd have to be nuts...she must be nuts'! But really I mean for my situation only. That's what my post meant. I would have hoped you'd know where I was coming from by now, we've known each other for over a year now
Well, Oscar's up. I was hoping for a sleep in, but alas... Also, DP wouldn't let me go straight to sleep last night after Oscar nodded off, IFKWIM (anyone would think WE were TTC! But we're NOT, let's get that straight right now :P), but it would have been nice to fall asleep with Oscar in the crook of my arm, wheezing gently at me.
Oh, who were the other 'raspberriers' of our babies? Oscar has started this - he was doing it just about all swimming lesson yesterday when we were listening to the teacher and watching the other babies take their turns. I suppose we've also created the situation, as we are both always blowing into his belly, neck, cheek, legs!
No fair, did I sleep through a thunderstorm? Bath, I think it's great that Verity still comes to you for comfort! I would have been able to at that age, too, but I would have thought to myself that I should just 'suck it up'...silly me, my mum would happily have given me cuddles! (In fact, DP says that my mum and family is not affectionate, but my mum would have been if I had allowed it more - it's only in recent years that I have become a hugger, I wonder why, cos my mum loved to hold us...musing to self here!).
I felt bad at the party yesterday because I turned around to find that the television was out of whack - Oscar had pulled on some chords and they were trying to get Foxtel back! My GF's mother said it was fine cos Oscar is a kid and her daughter would put toast into the VCR as a kid, so pulling out a chord here and there rates as a very minor offence! Anyone else finding that appliances and electrical equipment are fair game now? The clock radio is fair game every morning, as it sits on the bedhead of the futon. Oh, and the vacuum cleaner...he's worse than a dog (not mine, cos my dog flees the house when the vacumm cleaner goes on, but my other dogs!).
I had my first 'clamp down' yesterday - the first with this tooth. Felt like the gummy version, but it still copped a yelp and eviction.
Oh, and I can confirm that Oscar still has no stranger anxiety. He's anybody's, the big tart.
I got some good ideas for art creativity from my other GF who is very arty and creative. During fine weather next week, Oscar goes into a disposable, I'll get some big piece of paper from the local craft shop, some safe paints, and let him loose outside on it, while I finally get round to painting the wooden shapes I have for him. You girls can steal that one, too Or do you all know about that one, and I'm on the tail end of that one, too??
And harking back to music experience (thinking of Wade's French music lessons), I might get Oscar an african drum - he loves to bang rhythmically on a bucket with a lid I have here. He already has maraccas and access to a tambourine. He's grabbed at a bamboo flute I sometimes play for him, and bangs the guitar.
I'm just musing about his development lately (uhhh, could it have anything to do with picking up my Development text book this week??).
Ok, off again, I'll check in later!
