Great news, Rory!!
Mel - glad the market went well last night. Did you get the CFA on board in the end?
Bath - my avvy is so ace! I got such a surprise to log on and see it!
Tallarah is ace and Oscar is loving her - he came back from Kindergym today and asked to 'hold her', which I think just means lying next to her stroking her face, he's so sweet with her and loves to call her 'my sister'. He opened some cards for me yesterday and said "oh, wow, a book for my sister"!
I wanted babymoon to last for at least a week (which is short, I know, but there is social pressure to get out and about...more on that next) and I haven't left the house yet, T still hasn't had to get into the car and I'm just working on getting to know her and falling in love with her That said, tonight we've been invited to a dinner at my girlfriend's (just up the road) for her DSD's going away do and tomorrow night we're supposed to go to a 40th birthday in the next town. I'd rather go to my GF's if I had to choose one, and even then, I'm not inclined to go. I just feel it's too soon (and she understands, she was here for the birth) and definitely too soon to take a newborn to a raucous 40th with peering faces, loud music etc. Had T been born a week sooner, then MAYBE, but it will only have been just over a week by tomorrow and I don't want to thrust her into the world yet, particularly because tomorrow night's company is not quite my favourite ATM (the clique I managed to step away from last year and feel better for it). Tonight's company is wonderful, but just too soon for getting out and about - it's MY time.
My parents are coming this weekend - I have to let them hold her or I'll never live down the barbed comments from my mother. Not a biggie, I'll just 'intuit' that she needs frequent feeding or changing if she makes any noise Actually, if she DOES make noise, then she needs me - that's what a week of having her in arms has taught me! And, boy, does she love the slings!
Well, Ali and Tali TTC, and Rory UTD and we're all still hanging out in Junies - you guys are my little comfort zone I don't have many of them, either
OK, better go watch Buffy (this DVD is due back next week and there's another 3 discs to go!
