morning all hope you are all planning a fun day. I am meeting my mums group for coffee and then think i may take Noah and I out for lunch at my fave cafe... if we are both up to it. Poor me, i am feeling sorry for myself - i hace caught the dreaded cold that is going around me house... oh well i guess it was bound to happen. at least DH is feeling a lot better so we can tag team a bit. Poor Noah also seems a bit better today though he was coughing awfully last night and was up every 2 hrs. i am hoping he is over the worst of it now.
I have been trying really hard to get hm to have at least 2 day sleeps the last few days and it seems to be working! i am so happy! he is asleep now in fact. the sleeps last about 45 mins only but most things i have ead say that they will begin to stretch them out so i am hoping that happens. yest afternoon he did an hour which is prob a record for him LOL! So lets hope this works. At the moment I still need to rock him or feed him to sleep but i guess get him into a pattern and then see how i can chg?? i dont know i am just glad he is startingt o sleep in the day more (means i stay at home more but it is good for him so i am ok with that). Pinky McKay is actually talking here in canberra next week so i think iw ill go to that and see if i get some ideas. anyway it feels like a win to me at the moment (i hope he isnt just sleeping bc he is unwell).
solids still going well - 2 meals a day (but each about 8 teaspoons max). i am in no rush to get him to have more, but he does wolf it down so i may intro meal 3 soon and then slowly increase the amounts as he can take them? i am not so scientific a bout it all, i figure he kinda shows me what he wants. am stillmaking my own food (i LOVE making it for him) but i think i may have to buy a few jars in noosa this weekend so any recommendations??? I will take up enough for afew days but will need some backup I guess. he is still only having vegies and fruit and the odd bit of yoghurt or custard thrown in but i think soon i can intro a few other things???? i am starting to make the puree a tiny bit more lumpy too and he has taken well to that. i wonder when to intro finger foods? i guess in about a month? advice/opinions as always welcome!
wrt ttc number 2, we have said we will start with N is 12 months. gosh that is coming around soon!!! exciting exciting!!! i already have names picked out if a girl LOL!!! i really dont care either way boy or girl but i guess i used my fave boy name this time and i cant imagine another one!!! it took us a yr to conceive this time so i wonder how long it will take this time?? i am starting at the time it would be great if it happened but still early for us and that way there isnt pressure time wise.
i cant remember who was asking me about care options we chose??? i am still udnecided. we have 2 days at creche if we want and it is gettinga lot better and also we have been offered a couple of days at FDC. so a lot depends what jobi take, which will happen this week. i am waiting to hear if i got the job i really want. i have one in melb but it is less exciting to me than the other option. i found out they called my referees (it is all internal in my company) so hopefulyl iw ill hear soon, i wonder if they have called alot of people's refs or just mine??? exciting times ahead. i will start work 1 april if i take the oz based job and soon after that if i get the other one. the great thing with the gloal one is that my hrs can be v flex asmy team based all over world so i will start at 11 or 12 and still have mornings with noah!
it hink there was talk a few days ago about crawling, sitting, rolling etc. Noah is rolling but only back to front, getting closer to sitting i think but no sign of crawling... app i was v slow to crawl so i guess he is following me!!! he is a great talker though and loves his food so i guess he is like his mum and will sit on his butt eating and gossiping!!!!
cally and MD i never heard the DFO or Ikea rumour - that'd be FAB! timeline??????
ETA - i hear you Renee I am sniffing too!!!! Hmm maybe rory was overtired? or has he got a cold too? the 1st time Noah got a cold he woke suddenly one night screaming - it all came on v suddenly? hope you all feel better soon hon
