Just thought I'd quickly pop in and say I'm still here. It's been a rather busy couple of weeks. Even now I don't have much time as Camerons happily playing on his mat, but for how long...
Well I finally read all the posts on thread #3 on Saturday, took me about 30mins, then went to post and all of a sudden the post was closed, and as the computer was going a little slow I gave up.
Last Sunday I went to Mum's to deal with some family issues (Mum lives approx 30mins drive up the highway). Had only intended going up for the day, but ended up staying the night, with Cameron. As Mum and I had a few things on that week to do together, on Monday we decided I'd stay the rest of the week. DH works in Brisbane, so he would pop in on the way home to the Gold Coast, and it meant he got some good night sleeps and could pop in anything else we needed.
I wasn't sure how Cameron would go sleeping in a new area, but he slept very well. I didn't have the porta-cot the first night, so we just layered some blankets and he slept on the floor. I slept on the bed beside him. I don't know how you's who do do it, sleeping with there babies in the same room and especially in the same bed. I barely slept cause I just wanted to listen to him most of the night, and boy he is a chatter box at night. I guess being in his own room I don't get to hear it as much, but he woke twice just for a chat! I ended up getting the porta cot, but Cameron didn't seem to sleep too well in it, so I will have to do some practising in it at home, for when he is a little older and has to stay at Mum's occassionally.
And some great news for us...Cameron can now roll over both ways, WOOHOO!!! And I was able to witness his first roll over from tummy to back. I could see him trying and I managed to yell to my mum to look, and over he went. He's been doing back to belly for about 6 weeks now, so this to us is a major accomplishment. I was starting to wonder if this was an accident (a very well planned accident) or what, but today he has done it 2 times so far this morning.
Unfornutately though Cameron got a bit of a cold, started on Wednesday, and woke a couple of times early Thursday morning, screaming. We came home Thursday then, as I figured it would be easier to get him to sleep and not disturb my dad and brother, who had to work. But now I too have a cold. Damn changes in weather, it has been 4 seasons in the last week.
Well I have to go, Cameron is ready for a feed.
I'll try to get back later. Thank you for all those who asked where we were, it's nice to be wanted.
