I might be interested in a FB group too - but definitely secretly! EggsMichelle, I also have a career working with mentally ill offenders! Not been in that line of work for a couple of years but that's quite a coincidence.
Despite all my moaning about inlaws this morning, ended up having a lovely day. We had an amazing stress-free lunch and my MIL initiated saying 'I have booked dinner tomorrow night but would understand if you're a little tired and don't want to join us.'
Baby behaved herself beautifully.
I may be very foolish but I think I saw a smile this morning! She's one month old yesterday so I understand it's early. But she'd had a lot of sleep (after a horrid restless day yesterday), and a good feed, and was wide awake and interactive. I sat down with her to read a book to her (for the first time) and while I was looking at her and smiling, I am sure she smiled back. It looked really different from the sleep smiles she does, her whole face lit up. What do people reckon? PFB syndrome?
To top off a lovely day, she took a bottle of expressed milk from my husband, we put her in her basket while she was still awake but sleepy, and she has muttered for a while but put herself to sleep. Amazing.
Now I have jinxed myself and she'll be awake every 45 minutes until morning. Oh well...
Welcome mini and emily - always nice to have new/old people back!
Pidj, did your boy always poo infrequently or did it change at some point? I could do with little C being less pooey!
