Morning
Well what a time we have had. Where do i start.
Friday morning we packed up the car etc, it was so chockers. We headed off mid morning and as much as i tried to get going straight after i fed hamish it didnt work that way but anyway it worked out ok. We drove for about an hour and half, hamish slept most of the time then we stopped for a toilet stop and i fed him. Back in the car he slept the next 2 hours arrived at dp's grandparents place. We stayed there for the day and he was very well behaved. Dp's pa is very ill so i was suprised when Hamish was on the floor having a kick he decided to join him. Dragging his oxygen tank over and laying on the floor beside him, it was a moment i think dp will always remember. We left there place around dinner time and back in the car for another hour to dp's brother and sil place. They live on a huge property with a beautiful new 2 storey mansion, they have no children as yet just animals. Omg when i entered the house i was shocked and disappointed, all you could smell were cats (yuck). Anyway we went to sit in lounge room but i couldnt put hamish down any where not even on couch, there was cat hair everywhere and house smelt like cat pee. They had two dogs inside, gorgeous, friendly dogs but they had not been around children before so they were very inquisitive with hamish. I think i nearly spent the whole time up stairs in bedroom as it was the only place the animals where not alowed, so i had somewhere to put ds down for a play, but as we never took monitor with us i had to stay with him entire time. That night was not too bad, it was ds first time in a porta cot so i was a little concerned how he would sleep, he woke once at 2 then 6 so it was ok, i only wish i has slept that long, with all the animal hair i had really bad hayfever and could not sleep. It was good for dp to spend sometime with his family but it was disappointing they were not very accomodating with us. We had breakfast with his parents and then lunchtime we headed back towards the city for the night. Omg was the motel room a nightmare, i booked a one bedroom apartment where the bedroom was suppose to seperate from the lound so ds would sleep in the lounge but instead we had a studio which was all one room. Ds was not a happy boy the whole time we where there, he never slept longer than 2 hours at a time, by 6 am i was exhausted and i said can we just go home today, lucky he was thinking the same thing, so we had breakfast with my sister and met friends for lunch before heading home. Hamish was so good travelling in the car but just a nightmare to sleep in porta cot, i even tried him in bed with us but he was so unsettled. When we got home he was a different baby, slept from 8.30 til 6.30 this morning and is back in bed now. I dont think i will be in a hurry to go away again. It was great to see everyone but with being away and not getting any sleep i was becoming grumpy and irritable so i am glad to be home. Dp mentioned this morning he was glad we came home a day early as he started back at work this morning and yesterday we just relaxed around home so he felt like he needed that day at home after travelling. I think i have vented enough now. Sorry it turned into a bit of a whinge. I hope everyone is well, i will get back later hopefully for personal. Hamish has his needles tomorrow yuck. I am looking forward to finding out how much he weighs etc now, as it has been a month since we have been to mchn. Ok best do some washing.
