Happy Fathers Day to all your partners/husbands and Dads.
Don't think I've ever wanted Darc to wake up this much....have a lovely day everyone.
PS Nat, that wasn't the poem I was thinking of....mine was by Mary Stevensen 1936
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”
Well we did the footprint thing too yesterday, thanks for the idea gals. We gave Wade his fathersday pressie today. I painted Lachie's feet and we imprinted his card and wrote the poem on the card - thanks Nat, Wade loved it. He was asking all sorts of questions yesterday after Wade woke from a sleep, where are his mittens, I said they are dirty and he kept asking why, and I just said it is a surprise, he kept persisting and I just said you wait till tomorrow. So yes Lachie got paint all over his mittens I also gave him a keyring with Lachie's name on it with the meaning of his name, a magnetic photo frame with lachie's piccy and a bag full of darrell lea choccies. He loved it all.
And thanks for all your advice ladies, it appears Lachie is stretching himself out to 4 hourly feeds at present, will just go with him I guess. He won't drink all of the 120ml either at times but again will just go with him regardless of him chucking (just can't believe how much he chucks up and is still so content) if he pushes it away then he is obviously not hungry, maybe the extra calories are filling him more??? so yes this worry monster has left the building thanks gals.
While I was in Mackay my sister saw this guy in the shopping centre that does up childrens books and cds with your childrens names in it, so it is a story about them. They are great and not real expensive. He has a website, will have to locate it, I want to get some more, they would be great gifts. If anyone is interested will send you the link when I find it.
Lachie has been hangin out in his muscle singy and nappy, it is so warm here already, I would hate to think what summer is going to bring. He is such a hot baby, I am and was so hot being pregnant, guess he gets that from me.
Ok gotta run, been here for way too long and should get a few things done while my boy is asleep. Such a more content baby these days, and one can only wonder why I continue to worry, SORRY.
Oh and nice catching up yesterday Tania on MSN, we will have to catch up in real life soon. Still can't believe we both know Nikki :eek:
Ohhh and Happy Birthday Vic, hope you had a lovely day.

Just thought i'd pop my head in for 5mins before i go to mum's for tea and say hi! So He He!
We just got back from our second trip of moving stuff up too the house. While we were up there Brent decided to take his mate on a tour in the ute cause it has been raining for 2 days. Well..................then he gets bogged does'nt he!!! MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to say something but knew i'd only get told to shut up so i did. Now we have'nt got a ute to move stuff. We had to leave it up there!
Just a quick one:
Sheree - RE: Lachie feeding - Maybe you should just let him tell you when he is hungry. I know with Briley i just leave her until she gives me the signs that she is hungry. Sometimes she leaves 6hrs between feeds. Her last bottle is at 9ish and she sleeps right through till 6am. So maybe you should just try demand feeding him.
Everyone else i will catch up with you when i get home later. Hope all the dads are enjoying their special day.
He He!
