I spilled water on my laptop and have therefore been unable to blog for ages. This still isnt fixed so need to blog when i come somewhere with a pc i can use. At my parents' today. A lovely sunny day and here i am inside doing bloggings!
Charlotte's sleeping still leaves much to be desired. She didnt go to sleep until 3.30am last night. Sometimes she makes up for it in the day.Sometimes she doesnt. Whichever way it goes she wants to be fed really very often indeed. I thought it was the 3 week growth spurt but that seems to be not the case as it is now nearly 4 weeks and it has been going on for some time!
Starting to allow people to come round to visit now.BUt they have to be friendly souls who are happy to help out with the meals/ tea/ coffee etc as no matter how good my intentions are i am not quite up to providing an efficient service yet! Thanks Lisa for your help and understanding the other day- we might never have eaten otherwise! Going to Mum's is still the best though as she makes lovely meals for me not only to eat here but to take back to put in my freezer (I wont let Simon not shut the door properly again so i lose all my carefully prepared meals!). She (rightly, i'm sure) thinks that i need to eat well as i am still eating for two effectively. I do make it a priority but that doesnt mean that i am always able to conjure something up as much from scratch as i would ordinarily like. Let's hope that ability returns when she is out of her nasty first few weeks!
So we are both v jaded and have asked both the mums over at some point to do the 9-12 slot at night so Simon can get some rest (he usually does it until she needs feeding so I can get some rest ahead of the rest of the night which I do as he has to go to work....). We wouldnt be getting through this time without our mums.
I have been asked whether I am going to do the birth story. I need to look back at what I ahve already said as I thought I ahd done that already! And I am not quite clever enough to link it separately so those who arent interested dont have to see it. BUt it will be nice for Charlotte to see in times to come apart from anything else...
