Amy has settled into life really well 🙂
Her mother is a different story! Damn hormones – making me teary for no particular reason, making me insecure and scared that I’m doing something wrong, and frightened that tomorrow Justin goes back to work and I’ll be on my own doing all of this. You would think that I’d have it down pat, and yes, I kind of do, but it’s those hormones……
I have to admit though that Number 4 baby is really easy. Having confidence from past babies and knowing how to do a lot of things that with the first one or two I was running blind with, has made this so much easier. Not worrying about a sleep on her tummy, or if I’m using a dummy or not, or why she hasn’t pooed in about 3 days are all things I’d would have agonised over before. Not now. Do what you can to get the peace and the baby comfy, and the mum some sleep.
The nights are going well with Amy waking up at about 1am and then 5.30am for feeds. She goes right back to sleep and I am tucked up back in bed within the half hour. I said she was good! She is starting to be awake a bit more in between feeding and sleeping, and I love it when she looks up at me while I’m cooing at her and telling her about the day and how gorgeous she is. She is looking more like Meg every day.
Speaking of the others – Holly and Meg set off on Friday arvo with mum and dad to Port Macquarie. Sorry if you live in Port Macquarie but about 100 of my relatives are spending the week there at a Family Reunion, so things could get rowdy! Mum and Dad have graciously taken the girls to be a part of it seeing that Justin and I couldn’t go. I miss them more than I thought. The house is so quiet and I keep looking at Jessica and she is wondering why she has all this attention. Usually she has to fight for it:) Make the most of it Jessie.
Wednesday sees the arrival of my in-laws from Perth and I can’t wait to see them and have their company for a week. Floriade is a must see.
Well that is about it for now. I have spring cleaning fever so will run with that while I have the energy.
Thanks for coming by 🙂
I have just had an excellent idea ……. why dont I send over Eric and Zara to even up the numbers!
Call me if you need me [thats a given you know that] or if you want me to drop by supplies after work tomorrow.
Enjoy today and ENJOY the peace tomorrow.
What time are your rellies coming? If you want some company Wednesday morning let me know. xxx
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been thinking of you this last week. Hoping the hormones won’t annoy you for much longer. Your doing a brilliant job I’m sure. Enjoy having the visitors and showing off your beautiful family. Take care and don’t get over tired from too much spring cleaning.
Hi Fran, sounds like you are getting on super with the new bubs! She sleeps and that is even better! I reached a milestone myself today…I got my P’s…wow I got them first go why did I wait 16 years to do the test?? Anyway have a good weekend and hope you don’t miss the kids too much!
