How's everyone going? Thought I'd pop in and give an update while Cam is still asleep. Obviously alot of you's probably see most updates on facebook anyway, but thought I'd pop in and say an official to everyone.
Cam is going ok, except for his molars coming through - though I'd rather it happen then when PJ (baby#2's nickname) 1st arrives. His 1st top ones came through about 3-4 weeks ago, but his bottom ones are just trying to cut through now. Poor little fellow, he has been sooky, sleepy, grumpy, has rosy cheeks and is drooling like crazy for the last few days. Also been running a rather high temp, mostly around 38, but creeping up to 40 in the middle of the day (doesn't help it is getting hot here during the days now...here comes summer!!!). Today I mum came down to help cuddle him, as thats all that seems to settle, which has made it a little tricky to get some much needed housework done. I'm just greatful that I have a more sooky teether rather then a grumpy teether, as he only been getting a little grumpy in the afternoon. When do they get there next set of teeth usually and which ones are they? (I know every baby is different of course, but a possible heads up for the next ones will help I'm sure),
He is becoming a real little chatterbox lately though. Not that many clear words, but is trying. A particularly new one is 'here' - usually when he is passing us something, like here Dad or here Mumma. He is also becoming a really quick learner, picking up things that we do. So we've now gotta watch what we do, like not chucking anything around - as our little shadow will mimic soon after. Though he has picked up a habit of cleaning up after himself , which I'm absolutely loving...after his finished with his blocks or his toys I'll say, put them away and he does...love it!
We bought Cam his first bed on the weekend...haven't really tried him in it, just wanted to have it set up in his room so that I can start to do day sleeps in it. But because he has been sooky that last few days, haven't had a chance to try it out. Its a Happy Train themed single bed. We looked at them a few weeks ago to gather ideas, and went around to other places on the weekend, but DH and I just kept thinking of that Train one. So we thought we go and have another look and see if Cam reacted the same as he did the first time we'd looked at it, and he did exactly that...as soon as we put him down in the shop (its a kids bed shop) Cam ran over to this particular bed, climbed on and layed on the pillow (had it made up for display). So to do it again we figured was a really good sign. He has had a couple of morning sleeps in it with me the last 2 days though, cause he had been stirring about 6, so I would go and get him some milk, lay him in the bed and I'd lay next to him. After his milk he's been drifting back off to sleep for 2 - 2.5hrs more (and so have I) - so I figure he is getting a bit of an idea of what it is about. Maybe next week I will do some official day sleeps in it.
As for my pregnancy...all is going well. I'm 25weeks and 2 days today, and haven't been sick since week 16 I think it was...so I'm thrilled with that . Last time I was sick most of the way through. Have been alot more tired this time though, which I guess is expected when I'm chasing an active toddler around all day or working, then chasing the toddler around all evening .
