Well, needless to say, I ended up being too busy to really catch up the other night, and have only, yet again, managed to flick my eyes over the posts!
Anywho:
Hammerheadshark: In ref to making cup of tea whilst bf-ing, I'm very careful LOL and only ever when DD is on my left breast (as I'm right handed), as follows; everything is within reach of the kettle so it's really just a case of getting everything together with one hand whilst kettle is boiling (once I've filled the kettle up by opening it and pouring water from nearby water filter jug, which is always filled in the morning), taking the milk from the fridge is probably the trickiest bit as I have to crouch (usually ending in DD having boob suffocate her LOL but only for a little second!) as for taking the top off the milk well that's the decider, if I can't do it with my hand I give up and go back to the sofa!
As for the potty training, I had every intention of making a move on it yesterday, got DD1 into cloth nappy and asked her to tell me when she was doing wee's etc (which has worked to a certain extent in the past and we usually get the tail end of a wee in the potty) anyway, spent the morning asking her if she was wee-ing yet the answer always being "no", then at some point just before lunch I must've stopped asking and forgotten about the whole thing (down to DD2 wanting boob, no doubt) anyway, managed to forget altogether that DD1 had a cloth nappy on and when changing her for a bath in the evening realised! Poor thing, but that cloth nappy held a heck of a lot of wee, and didn't leak to any really bad extent!
I asked DD1 why she didn't tell me that she was so wet and she shrugged her shoulders (something she's unfortunately picked up from me )
DD2's night times are a bit random at the moment, not sure just how lucky I am but at the very least she'll sleep if I'm too lazy to get up and feed her! (This only happens at stupid O'clock in the morning, and I make sure she's fed full before I go to bed, which is usually about 11) This morning she managed to wake at 5am (after waking at 2am and me putting the dummy in her mouth to see just how hungry she really was)! I was well happy with that! But the majority of times she'll wake every 4 hours, which I don't think is too bad for 4 weeks old.
Anywho, that's about the extent of excitement in my life! I still haven't left the house on my own but haven't really found any point in going out yet, especially seeing as money's so tight and the only place to really take the girl's is town, which is pretty boring for us all with no money to spend LOL
Mind you the HV is being a big help, she's offered us another food voucher (local charity gives out food and clothes to poor folk like us!) so we're going to accept, also, apparently, there's a caravan site where there's a place that's available through the HV/NHS too so, as soon as DH can swing a holiday, we're going to ask for access to that too! Oh we so need a holiday right now!
Doesn't look like DH is going to be getting out of retail but I suppose as long as he gets out of the place where he's working right now, anything's get to be better right?!
Right, that's my rant over, not a lot else to rave about really, hope you're all doing well and getting your lives back to some form of normality! (What's that?! )
I'm off for tonight, can't promise I'll be back anytime soon but will definitely make more of an effort now DD2's getting into a bit of a routine (ooh which reminds me I've even managed to start expressing now too! Yay!)
Night night, take care
