7 Months

Posted on

This morning we sang Happy 7th-Month Birthday to Amy.

Who would have thunk that we’d get this far! Last week was a shocker for us – Amy was back to her dreadful night time antics of screaming for a lot of it, and I was wrecked (emotionally and physically). I’ve gone over ever scenario in my head about how I can get her to sleep better (no feeding, feeding, weaning, Justin getting up to her, Phernergan, adoption etc etc). None of the above worked, so I am now back to where I was months ago, with 3 wakings a night, 2 being feeds. I am still tired, but at least there is no screaming and my blood pressure resembles normal. Every night I say to myself – “This will be the one where I sleep till morning” – haha good joke says Amy Clare.

Kids are well. They ride their bikes most of the day now having given up on the TV ever coming back on. They spend the weekend back and forth between here and Addy’s place and it is lovely to have somewhere close for them to go. Addy’s cousin painted their faces yesterday…
(ok piccy didn’t work, but I’ll try again later)

Amy devoured a cruskit with nutella on it today. This is how it ended up…………
(again no piccy!!)

On my running front – decided to increase the time and distance that I run. Now I go 2.25km’s (it was 1.6km’s last week) and it takes me 30 minutes rather than the quick 20. I can certainly tell the difference. When I get to 20 minutes I really have to push on hard to keep going, but everyday I notice that it hurts a bit less!

Swimming lessons are every day this week. Meg hates it, or so she told me, but she does well when she gets there! Going to Anzac day arvo tea at Mum and Dad’s and now that I have mastered the ANZAC biscuit (after 2 failed batches) I’m baking them for the event. Not to mention the huge birthday cake I’m making for Rach tomorrow!! Happy birthday Rachie.

I’ll be back when I can get the pictures working. TTFN.
