Been busy in here, sorry I can't seem to keep up... I keep up with my facebook but that's about it. I'll keep it quick so you don't have to read through a whole heap of dribble!
I don't have a whole heap to report really... I'm sure you all don't want blow by blow details on Emilys feed and sleep patterns, very yawnworthy! Basically, she sleeps 12 hours at night and is packing on weight (6.6kgs). Getting cuter every day and I love watching her learn and grow. Developmental-wise, she rolls over front to back and back to front, she giggles properly now which is very cute, she's almost sitting up by herself and has learnt how to push buttons. She can also turn in circles on her activity mat and bounce her jolly jumper like a pro. She recently discovered her feet and hasn't left them alone since.
Besides that, DF's roster is supposed to be changing back to 1 week on, 1 week off which will be awesome as at the moment I feel like a single mother. We are moving to a tiny country town in March for DF's job so i'll be a big fish in a little pond, but cannot wait to have him home EVERY night. Wedding is approaching sooner than i'd like, 15 weeks 2 days to go and still much to do but i'll get there.
Oh and the car seat debate, I think do whatever works best for you, and what you feel is in the best interests of your family... don't let anyone's opinions make you feel as though you are doing the wrong thing. Every decision is made for a reason and with due thought given. I happily put Emily to sleep on her tummy for every sleep despite all the advice about how this is a bad thing to do.... and she is still with me. Even if I watched a YouTube video of full of SIDS/tummy sleeping advice I would still put her to sleep on her tummy bacause that's what works best for us. Just because she sleeps on her tummy doesn't mean she'll die of SIDS, and just because some babies go forward facing before others, doesn't mean they are going to die in a car accident. I can't wait for Emily to hit the KG requirements to put her seat front facing, rear facing is a PITA to get her in and out of... the sooner it happens, the better!
Glad to read everyone's doing well, hope everyone had a great Chrissy and New Year!
