Oh plonky that?s frustrating. You?d spend it and then they?ll ask for it back. It?d be so nice to view it as a perk for all the extra hours you?ve done over the years ;-)
All your weaning chat makes me think I should get up in the loft to get down the highchair. I do, like you said pud, think she?ll end up face first in the carrots though as she flops forward like that in her bumbo. I am resolving to put away the magazines and start reading the BLW book that SIL gave me. On that topic worse carrot mush can be kept for 24 hours in fridge (just as long as it isn?t the classic culinary combo of carrot avec breast milk) I read it in a book last night.
vj sounds like you?d fit right in with my dad?s family. He?s one of 15 (same parents, no twins) so it must have been a right bun fight around their table. I believe they had sittings?..
How?s the cold soyo? Bothersome I?d imagine. It does ramp up the snores in a cute way though eh? And I love the boob hug too. So sweet. And I am not one to get gooey over things like that. Hormones are powerful drugs.
Stormy your sleep sounds really crappy. Do you ever have patches where you get back to sleep after feeds better? I have found that lying down to feed and not engaging with any technology has helped me get back to sleep afterwards, although that might be coincidental. Lying awake when your baby is peacefully sleeping is uber frustrating. Sleepy vibes your way.
something how was the blueberry nappy? Blue?
kff great work on the sleep. These babies are growing up now as they graduate into ?I can sleep school?.
Remember the comedy caper I had with a 3 week old that saw me stranded in the cold city with a new born, no coat, no house/car keys and an awol husband? Well, we had another similar session yesterday. I was travelling back from Dad/sister?s on my own with DD. Timed to miss Sunday holiday switch-over traffic and to get back in time for ?normal? bedtime. Had a tyre blow out. Pretty scary. Never had that happen before. Bang, then a weird feeling car that you feel you have to stop asap. A bolt had torn into the tyre. I stopped and rang RAC, it was so hot in stationary car I stepped outside to make call but road noise forced me back in. Too hot to remain there with a baby but RAC were pretty unfussed by that and told me it?d be 90 mins. I called my DH who by coincidence was also on the road not too far away. DD meanwhile did a massive poo that got everywhere when I opened the nappy?.changing her on the floor. It was all over both of us when mechanic rang to update me about whereabouts. DH came and the plan was to switch cars so I could drive on with baby. But no. RAC said it must be ME with car when they turned up. Ok, I thought, send DD back with Daddy. But Daddy randomly had a mattress in the back of his car. That?s ok, put her in the front. But no. Airbag that couldn?t be disabled. Ok I thought, let?s transfer mattress to my car. So, with DH looking after baby I (in my too short, flared dress on the side of a busy, very windy road) unloaded everything from my car over to his (case, bags, fan, basket of nappies, nappy pail, stroller?..). We don?t travel too lightly when we go away for a weekend! There were a lot of bags But that?s ok I thought because we can switch the loads with a bit of effort and get DD on her way. But no. The mattress didn?t fit in my car. 2 inches too little space. Gggrrr?.. re-packed cars and coped with tearful, overtired, bored baby for remainder of 2 hour journey in thick traffic once my car was fixed.
I like an adventure me.
And plonky I just saw you are hardcore. The shred sounds terrifying. You go girl!
