Today's thoughts...

Today's thoughts have been around returning to work! As in, i don't want to! Iv left my child once for 45 mins and that ended in tears all round, how on earth will i manage an 8 hour shift??? It's not like the return is immediate, iv still got 2 months to go, and lots will change in that time, but i don't think my separation anxiety will!!

The other part i'm thinking about is whether i will actually remember everything!! I'm sure my baby brain can now be classed as a medical condition! I can start a sentence and then change tracks at least 3 times, and then completely forget why i opened my mouth in the first place! Who wants someone with this amount (or lack thereof) of brain power giving them their medication or dressing their wounds!!??

Iv also been feeling very thankful for the clothing swap that's going on at the mo! I'v amassed a collection of bubby clothes that my wee man is a considerable way away from fitting, and my good friend has a collection of clothes that her wee chubby cheddar has out grown! So we've swapped! I get clothes that my boy fits, she gets clothes that her boy fits, then we swap back once they'r outgrown so that lachy has clothes that fit, and my friend has clothes that her next bubba can grow into!! Its a fabulous idea! (Open in the sense that sometimes baby clothes can get completely annihilated, and may not be fit for return) And its great when moneys pre
tty limited and your down to one wage!

And on top of that, my sister is an op-shop legend and a, well im not sure what u call it, but she always manages to be in the right place when people are trying to get rid of outgrown clothes!! Yay for me, and yay for Lachy!!


Oh another highlight has been that for the past 3 nights my bubby boo has been going down for a 4 and a half hour stretch on his first sleep overnight!!! The other sleeps are only for 2 and a half hours at a time, but that's ok, they'l improve too! Its all worth it when i look into the bassinet and he's staring right back at me with a huge smile on his beautiful face...and the occasional peek-a-boo!

It was gunna be the weighty issue!!

So I had all the good intentions of a fitness freak from Les Mills last week!! On Friday i did a fitness test to confirm my poor level of fitness (which i totally could have told them without the test), and signed up to my first spin class and workouts, with the creche booked and everything!!

And now my bubby boo is sick again!! Firstly, i cant put him in creche because he has a recurrence of Bronchiolitis that's contagious, and second, i don't want to leave him!!!! I'm already paranoid and sappy enough when he's not sick, but now (his poor voice is so hoarse and scratchy) when he cries he sounds so awful it breaks my heart and makes me want to cry!! I couldn't leave him with someone else thinking that he might cry for them and i wont be there to comfort him!!! Is that totally sad or what!? And ridiculous to, because there are other people that can comfort him! (His daddy's doing that right now!) I just feel like i have to be there for him ALL the time! Is this just me or is it a new mum thing??

At least i got off my bum and walked for an hour! So that's one wee bonus!!

These two scrummy fotos of my boys have been keeping my smile intact this week (as well as the image of me going arse over tip off a cross trainer). My bubby boo is just gorgeous in his new (hand-me-down) Tigga suit (Thanku Petra and Xerez!)!! I love hand-me-downs!!
