Saffi – Am arranging for my mum to send a few things out every now and again. She likes that C is such a good eater considering her mum was such a pain in the bum to feed. And I am sure I will hear the “Muuuuuuuum” a few more times! She has moved on a little now – “mum mum mum mum mum” and now the whiny bit is “daaaaaaaad” he he he he
Caitlyn recognises her name. she also recognises her nickname – “chunky lady”. Now I never say my little girl is big – she just has a reserve tank.
Kelly – We are definitely looking at proofing our home. Its so small that there isn’t really anywhere that we can hide things. First on the agenda is a new unit to put our TV and VCR and DVD in. As it is it is basically just on a stand and when/if C ever starts crawling she will be able to get in amongst the cord. As it is DH is already ticked that she managed to pull the memory card out of the playstation right in the middle of a “very important” part of the game. He he he (I taught her well!!)
Mo – I have to say that I REALLY want to live where your mum is going to live!! What a fantastic sounding place!! I am sure in time she will grow to love it.
Alz & Trish – I hear you on the DH being away such long hours. DH works from 630 until whatever time he finishes 6 and sometimes 7 days a week. 2 weeks ago he was on call and I think he got to see Caitlyn awake for a max of 3 hours. He is so disappointed that he is missing seeing her grow up. And it is a struggle to do everything on your own – I thank god for my slow cooker!!! Now I am back at work 33 hours a week it is really hitting me. I am just glad that C is sleeping a little longer through the night and not up every 3 hours like she used to be.
Trish – We got a Holden Crewman. It’s a nice enough car – not as nice as the Fairmont that we had but it serves us better. Now at least I can get the dog to the vet and we can take him places that we haven’t been able to take him since we had C.
I have to say still no teeth here. Not even a sign. My mum told me that I didn’t start until really late (12 mo) so maybe C is going to be a late bloomer. At least then she will be able to give me an idea about what is sore.
We are having fairly good nights here now. The only thing that is concerning me is that C gets such cold hands at night. Can't put mittens on her at night cause then she can't get her dummy to her mouth. A friend is giving me a heater today so I will be putting that in her room and hope that it helps get her hands a little warm. She is only rolling from back to belly and hasn't quite figured out how to get back the other way but I am sure she is working on it. Bu after sleeping on her belly for a few hours she wakes and gets distressed. then I roll her over and I think that frightens her a little so she is awake for a good 45-1hr with me trying to settle. She will only drink a full bottle if she holds it - does anyone else find that??
Anyway - had better head off and do some other posting. Have a good day all!! MWAH
