Another week gone

Sunday 22/5/11

Where is time going? I can't believe my Monkey is 7 1/2 months old. Crazy.

I got a bit caught up in the news of the world ending on Saturday. I'm ashamed to admit there was a slice of fear rip through me when I thought about it all. Not that I could do anything if the world does end, but I fear for my little Monkey when we cross the street, let alone anything bigger! I think this irrational fear also comes from teaching about the Holocaust at the moment. My perception has completely changed as a parent and I can't watch the documentaries or even read passages that describe what happened to the poor babies or children. It's just chilling. I guess that's every parent's question- how do we protect our children from the evils of the world?

Anyway, the world didn't end and we've had a nice week. Monkey has been loving her Jolly Jumper, with plenty of bouncing going on now rather than hanging about or walking in circles as she did at the start. She's big on blowing raspberries this week which is adorable, but not so amusing when she has a mouthful of boob or food!

Speaking of boobs, I think I have boob thrush coming back again :( plus, Monkey has a horribly red bum right now. I fear we both have it going on, so back to creams to treat both of us.

I've been sewing up a storm and loving it. Just some change mat covers, breastfeeding covers, taggie style blankets and bibs.

One person came and looked at our house on Sunday. She's not looking to buy immediately but we're told by the agent that she loved the house and it was the best she's seen so far. At least someone came and looked!

My only bugbear of the week is my weight. I've plateaued at about 76-77kg. I'm thinking of going back to weight watchers. I don't know much about any of the diets out there except weight watchers (which I was doing before I got preggers). I really need to drop this last 10kg. Willpower, where are you?!
