We are all doing wonderful jobs ... admist sick toddlers, forgetful partners and difficult in laws ... this mothering business is a tough job, but we are all getting there!!
It sounds boastful (but then again, my first 8 weeks were horrendous) but Willow has been just beautiful since the weekend.
I've managed to do some chores of a day, which is making me feel more productive and happier ... I even managed to water the garden yesterday with Will by my side in the stroller. It was awesome to feel like I did one other thing besides tend to the baby all day - and the fresh air did me a world of good.
Today so far we have been to the shops for morning tea with my SIL, did a spot of shopping for 00 winter clothes (I figure Will will be in them by mid to late winter), made a chocolate peppermint slice for my Mother's Group tomorrow and am now enjoying a cuppa while little Miss W is asleep in her cot. Ahhh ... now this is more like it!
Only taken me 9 weeks to get here!!
I tried both the sling and the Baby Bojrn yesterday and Will will still not have a bar of either of them. Annoying, as I'd be able to get so much more done if she would just settle in the sling.
I have a joint baby shower and birthday BBQ to go to this weekend, both DH and I are invited and the plan was for him to wear the Baby Bjorn with Willow in it the whole time, am thinking we will need to pram. Bugger. The friends house is right on the water, while impressive, I read this as VERY hilly and probably no good place to park the pram outside.
Anyone else planning on having bubs christened/baptised/naming ceremony?
We are in the midst of organising Willow's baptism, while I am Catholic am not practising but have reasonably strong Christian values, so baptism is important to me. However I don't want to dress her in the whole traditional garb with frilly lace, ribbons and a white bonnet ... anyone have suggestions on where I might track down just a nice pastel outfit as opposed to a while christening gown (websites or stores/chain stores).
