Hello Everyone.

Like June78 we took Molly to have her 6 week check up today (a little late as she is 8wks tomo) and the Dr gave her, her immunisations while we were there. I was not expecting them to be done so was not mentally prepared but at the same time was lucky that MIL had DD1 so i didnt have to contend with her at the same time. It was very diff to getting DD1s done. With her it was one needle at a time with me holding her but this time they had me lay molly on the bed and 2 nurses did both needles simultaneously a leg ea at the same time. It was over with alot quicker but harder for me not holding her while they administered it etc. I dont know which method i prefer though. We had them done at 9am and have had a shocking day. Dont know if it was because of needles or a coincidence but poor thing was miserable all day. On a brighter note we had her weighed and have just hit 4kg (4050g) so i am pleased.
I am in quite a good mood though because DH and i have finally decided that we are going to put DD1 in family daycare one day a week. We got a flyer in the mail for a lady who has positions available who lives only one st away. I know my MIL will help out often etc but i really want a guaranteed one day a week where i can run errands and go shopping etc. Plus i think DD1 really needs a little more structure and this lady sounded like everything i wanted from daycare. I am going to meet her and have a look around on Thur so fingers crossed all goes well.

Krisp- Does Ewan have much contact with Paisley or isnt he really interested in her? DD1 will not leave molly alone at all. I cant leave her within reach ever and its starting to drive me mad. She HAS to have a hold everytime i go to pick her up or else she will try to take her off me etc and will get rough with her (pinching and hitting etc) I have to shut the door if she is in cot or bassinette as dd1 will climb up and in which is scary as she has just started to open doors so it's starting to concern me. I do let her hold her all the time and she "helps" with daily tasks etc but no matter how much i include her she just wants to be with her all the time. She even cries for her if i put her in the car 1st or a diff room etc. So basically wondering if Ewan is similar and if you have any tips etc.

Willow- I know what you mean about pre-school i am about to put dd1 in day care and as much as i want to i will be sad too but i need a day with jsut molly to get things done etc. ROFL at the sideshow at the shops. I jsut dont go anymore lol its in the too hard basket.

Dragonbub- i like the idea of date night i will have to introduce it into our relationship. At the moment we do something similar but is a family date where every weekend no matter what we have planned we will do one activity/outing as a family even if its just out to feed the ducks at the park etc which is mainly for dd1 benefit but good time for family bonding etc.

June78- how did Jacob cope after his needles? With regards to putting bub down awake what i do is give Molly a feed/cuddle and when she is obviously tired i wrap her and put her in bassinette/cott and walk out of the room. If she grumbles i will go back in and pat her etc if she gets too upset i pick her up and cuddle her til she settles and do it all again often she will lie there quiet and extremely tired but will fight sleep for up to half an hour b4 actually going to sleep.

Everyone else- i hope you are all doing well and getting lots of sleep
