Morning everyone
DP and I went to register Ellie yesterday at the registry office - she's now an official person!! After that we went to PILs and were only going to stay for a quick cup of tea. We got there at 4pm and ended up having a curry and leaving around 8pm!! I had to feed Ellie there, but thankfully they left me to it in the front room while they congregated in the middle room. We were going to have a look at dishwashers in Currys afterwards for my birthday but it was a bit too late for that by the time we left. Before you all say it, yes i KNOW having a dishwasher for your 40th birthday is extremely sad but i'm desperate for one and if i ask for one for my birthday, DP would be very cruel to turn me down!!
By the time we got home after a short trip to Asda (had to avoid Clubgate tho coz DP was with me) it was gone 9pm so Ellie's so-called routine was way out the window. She took hours to settle last night because she was still wide awake and needed time to wind down. Eventually i think she went off at about 1am. She then woke up at 4.45 for a feed and then 7.45 but i just brought her into the bed with me and we both dozed til 10am! I gave her my first laying down feed this morning too! It was lovely and very cozy. Think i'll try it on the sofa later!
Pixie - well done you for cleaning your oven!! It's one of those love to hate jobs isn't it. In my sleep deprived state the other week, i went to Homebase with the intention of buying just one can of oven cleaning stuff and ended up coming out with four cans of the different brands!! I have no idea why! The woman at the checkout must have thought i was either an obsessional cleaner or had an extremely gross oven!!
Silk - how's Megan today after her jabs?? Do you get called to the doctors or do you have to make your own appointments for DCs to have their jabs? I'll ask the GP next week when Ellie has her check up i think. Great news re her heart!! What a relief! Cant believe you're going back to work in February! It seems so soon!! I'm very very at Megan's 11-6.30 stint tho. That's just showing off!!
Jarm - Congrats on the job!!! You should never say "only" a care assistant either. Carers and nurses etc are worth their weight in gold IMO.
Sparkly - good luck with the eye test today.
Berry - lol @ all your typos! Hope Coby is feeling better after his jabs too. I'm not looking forward to putting Ellie through them! Well done to you for being a BF counsellor in training! Fantastic! The more help there is out there, the better.
Choc - Ellie is fine thanx. The Infacol is working like a dream, along with the odd dose of Gripe Water for when she gets wind in the late evening. Such a change to what she was like 2-3 weeks ago! Well done on the five hour stint! Totally makes you feel fresh and normal again doesn't it!
Fiona - i think after the exercise classes you went to, you were truly deserving the pizza and wine! DP and I are going on a healthier eating thing from next week. So far every night this week we've had wine AND a huge glass of Baileys - and there's me wondering why i'm putting ON weight, rather than losing it! So from next week there'll be no week-day boozing and no more (or at least no much) junk food either.
£70 worth of nappies for £20?? Sounds like a bargain!! I'd go and buy that if my council did it! I might give them a ring and ask if they do anything like that.
So pleased you and DH have made it up now.
I was going to go shopping today to our local shopping centre because i have vouchers etc to spend and the shopping centre also has breastfeeding rooms so it would have been my first real adventure out of the house for more than 3 hours, but the weather is so pants, i dont think i'm going to bother. Having said that, i do have itchy feet a little so i think i might be on the verge of changing my mind.....
