Away for a few days and look how many posts there are! There?s no way I can keep up with it all.
We went to a baby swimming session on Monday and it was fab, Louise wasn?t sure what was happening and the changing was a bit of a pain but it was good, the pool was full of toys and they had loads of inflatables and chairs the LO?s to sit in. Definitely going back next week, (but with my mum to help out). Oh dear BT, glad he?s ok after the slip.
She?s also taken a real dislike to my Mum, it?s a shame, she screams whenever she holds her. Poor Grandma. I dropped her off a week ago to nip to the farm shop on their road, back 15mins later and it was awful, she?d gone purple screaming. Buzzy, relieved to know it?s a clingy phase and will be over soon, esp since they are 5 mins away and would be no1 babysitting request. Very brave on the no nappy time - every time we do this she wees everywhere, even on the scales at baby clinic.
Online Shopping, love it. It?s great for bulk buying, we have a dog so carrying 30 tins home from the shop is unthinkable. I use mysupermarket, then tescos and then always cheat with a voucher code. Although I do still love lidl, there?s less choice so you don?t spend ages choosing a tin of beans, the food seems better quality ? I think that the german food standards are better than ours and the nappies are great.
Napping, DD goes down (mostly) before her feed for 30mins-1hr. She wakes (pretty cutely, just smiling in her cot) in the morning at about 7.30 when DH is up and about, he changes her and brings me a bottle so I feed her in bed about 8am, her first nap (in her cot, no grobag, just blanket and dummy) is at 9am to let me shower and dress and sort the house out, sometimes she?s still awake when I get out of the shower so she gets the dummy again and usually drifts off by the time I?m dressed. She?s up about 10, we play then feed at 11am. More playtime then nap about 12-1, on the sofa next to me with a blanket and dummy, it may take her 30mins to drop off but she does, then feed at 2pm. Play for a couple of hours and nap again about 3.30/4pm to feed at 5. then playtime until she tires at about 7pm, then it?s another nap until 8pm where we bath / change / feed her then down for the night at 9pm.
Got weighed yesterday ? hit the stone mark! She?s shot up the percentiles, from just above 25th to nearly 75th. I?d love to know her head circ percentile now, at 6w check it was off the chart
Claraq ? I feel exactly the same when feeding DD a bottle, like I have to say I exclusively BFed for 3 months though. Dammit I hate feeling like I have to answer for my actions, the irony is that it?s all in my head. (I was born in ?81)
Wobbegong ? have a great holiday, hope the weather holds out for you. I?m also a So you think you can dance? fan ? but strangely cannot bear strictly come dancing.
Beanster ? sorry you?re feeling rubbish. Can DH help out feeding LO? DD also loves bathtime, so loves soaking the floor but is getting too big for the baby bath now. She pulls her face when she gets out and thanks me (everytime) by weeing over the towel and cries when I?m dressing her.
Beckle ? congrats on Evie turning over, that?s a good milestone.
Oh no cazzy, how awful for you
Suey ? that must have been a sight to see her legs dangling, DD always seems to move up the cot not down. Great smiley pic.
Lizzer ? of spa treat.
Clairey ? IKWYM about posting and feeling ambivalent about certain issues, and the ones I do, someone has already pipped me to the post with an articulate message.
Macdoodle ? Lily looks so cute in her dress, and her lovely dark hair. DD?s hair has mostly fallen out except a little tuft at her nape.
Awen ? I also love making LO laugh, bouncing her on my knee and making funny faces. No clicky joints here though.
Skid ? yanbu, but then DH does get up at weekends to DD and lets me lie in.
Right, it?s taken me an hour to write this and I still have to nip to the shop and do a massive pile of ironing so I must leave now! Have a fab weekend everyone.
