Just replying quickly so I can keep up.
Absolutely stuffed today... the heat is getting to me.
Didn't have another 8 hour night after Wednesday night, but I wasn't expecting to. Saw the GP yesterday and he said the kids just have a virus which is good I suppose. Just have to wait for them to get better.
Hubs is playing tennis today... I can't believe they didn't call it off seeming as it's going to be 40 degrees here. Glad I'm sick so I cna't play. LOL
Jacinta: Yay for having gotten most of the vaccs over with. It's a great feeling after the 18mo ones... but I am already thinking about the 4yo ones and how they are going to be a nightmare, LOL! I still remember getting mine
Bella: Great that you are getting out and about with other mums. Cool about your vid! I was keen to do the breast crawl with Phoebs too, but in the end I did help her along a bit. But unlike Natty, she was very efficient right from the start. Had both sides while we were still in the birthing suite which the middie was happy about because P was very cold after the birth and we struggled to get her warm. The BF did the trick
BG: Sorry about all the uncertainty re C's work. It must be tough for you not knowing whether you've got to return or not. I think I am at peace about going back, but it would be hard to get to that point if you don't know if you're going or not. I am glad your work is so flexible though. Great that you can go back on mat leave if you're able to.
Vic: Hope you're over the jet lag soon.
Naomi: Oo, I had forgotten to post P's stats.
Weight: 6.85kg
Length: 64.5cm
HC: 43.2cm
So she has slowed down this month. I had thought she'd have cracked 7kg too, but not there yet.
Hope the Santa photos work out well I haven't ever taken Natty for a Santa shot... what a dreadful mummy I am. Doubt I'll get one this year either. Money's a bit tight and I'm not all that into the Santa thing myself. I love the idea of the personalised Christmas cards though. They sound fabulous.
Nicky: Yeah, I can't believe the activity people still get up to in the heat! We're not as hot up here, closer to 30 than 40, but hot is hot. And we went out this afternoon to a stall with eco-friendly, ethically produced toys (bought secret santa gift!) run by a friend and there were people out playing tennis there too... at 2pm!
Well, I have been desperately applying for jobs but hearing nothing. I suppose there were a few that I only applied for late in the week, so I guess it's fair to wait a bit longer. Am getting a bit stressed about it TBH.
DH goes away tomorrow morning for a few days - he will get back on Wednesday night. I'm not too worried about it, although I tend to have a few scary thoughts overnight when he's away. It's silly really, but that's me. Hopefully three nights of it in a row won't break me, LOL. Unfortunately my mum, my rock, is going up the coast to my brother's place tomorrow afternoon to be up there on Monday and Tuesday because my niece is in hospital again. Will no doubt feel a bit lost without DH and my mum... But hopefully the days will go quickly enough.
Ooh, Nicky, meant to tell you I have gotten sneaky with Natty's food. She loves peanut butter, so I spread some mashed pumpkin under the peanut butter (mixed it in a little bit) on her muffin tonight and she is eating it! That's one vegetable... I wonder if I'll be able to sneak in any others in future...
LOL J, we're struggling with BLS too - I gave her a piece of avocado the other day and she just held it for a couple of seconds, shook it, and when it didn't rattle she just dropped it
I tried P on the mashed pumpkin but she wasn't interested. I think I'm going to leave it another week or two.
Tried giving P her first bottle tonight. No luck. Will try again after one of her sleeps - I wonder if she was just too tired to give it a fair go.
