Clinic day

BB 18lb 8oz, so now only on the 99.9th centile – phew what a relief!

Finally given in and bought some scales for home waitwotchering. Slightly depressing reading! Just 7kg over the weight I put on insurance forms, so need to lose that in the 3 weeks before medical. Will power required!
This BMI site suggests that I aim for 81kg as my goal rather than some unrealistic figure, so that is what I am going to do ultimately, but some weight loss goals in interim – 7kg for ASAP, then 16kg to become overweight rather than obese.

Spent today chasing quotes for new house insurance – come out at about 100pm for just buildings. ony 80 more than current house then. Also chasing up date of aforementioned medical. chris somewhat peeved that my phonecalls to insurers quick and concise, yet they always asked him oodles more questions and then got cut off. I think it is his dodgy sarf london accent!

Going to pick up SB from nursery soon [after cup of tea] House is just SO quiet on a monday!! She will be excited by scales, so i predict a bit of comparitive maths will occur.

The BirthdayParty

photos will have to follow, as still on camera.

SB wet last night. our fault, as she was asleep when she came home from her party, and we didn’t lift her soon enough. So in bed with us. BB joined us at 5am. Hmm, must start waking to feed at midnight if it means otherwise an early feed.

I thought I might try and repeat the breakfast in bed thing, but SB joined me v early on with a book on spacetravel [we got it from dynamic earth]. So we both ate egg with soldiers whilst i read it. When we did get up, we came downstairs and did a rather nice picture of spacetravel. [science, art]

The day was so gorgeous, we went to the local park, which SB enjoys cycling around. today she was in rather a hurry to get to the cafe for cheese on toast. gloriously sunny though, with just a bit of a nip to the air. And I have finally sorted out moorhens vs coots in my head. [PE]

Back with a bit of a rush to get ready and out for the party. At least we weren’t late, though had to stop in Asda for candles on the way there. Party went v well, everyone seemed to be having fun, SB particularyl. We had one drop out due to illness, and one non-responder attend, so all evened out. [socialisation]
It did mean another haul of presents though, including some midi hama beads – v nice. A slush maker, jigsaws, lots of books some craft things and some very girly girl things. We opened them when we got home. We has some cake left over, approx 1/5. SB said she wanted it all, but that we could cut it in half to make it easier. on asking for a piece, she was adamant it was her birthday cake, but we did get a bite!

When SB went upstairs to bed with Chris, I had a wiggle and giggle with BB. It is nice to spend some time purely trying to make her laugh. She does it quite readily now, and particularly likes the word digger.

to my great shame, chips for tea. Not very waitwotchery at all.
obviously as a summary, another happy day. tes, there were the odd aarggh get your coat on etc moments, and SB has started screaming often just before I feed her, which I’m not liking? why?? but has been fun.

3 hours, 1/2 pound of icing and glass of wine.

3 hours, 1/2 pound of icing and  glass of wine.

It’s Stringbean’s delayed birthday party tomorrow, so I’ve spent the evening icing the cake that she and Helen made the other day. The design was her request (it didn’t involve pink…..!)
I’m quite impressed with myself really :-)

now for the daily news

SB woke us up – as usual – by crawling into our bed. I think it was just before 5. BB then woke up for a feed. To be fair, BB had slept through from about 10 o clock. this made SB completely perky. As she said, her blood had carried energy to all her body, and there was no sleep left. Sigh! At about 7.00, chris realised resistance was futile and got up. Yay! I spent another 2 hours in bed with BB, then got breakfast in bed. Almost makes up for the complete lack of mothers day I got. 4 in a bed too many though, and will have to buy a superking. the owners of the next house might sell us theirs for a song as it doesn’t fit in their bungalow.

SB proudly announced she had been doing ‘Art’ [it definitely had a capital to it!]. She got an art set for her irthday, with paints, felt tips crayons and pictures to colour in. She particularly liked the white crayon on black paper effect. We played with her dolls while eating my first breakfast, and her second. She is getting more imaginative with her stories as well. I got some kiss cuddle and tickle time in. We do lots of this, I just don’t tend to blog it – it would be a bit like blogging nappy changes!

When I got up and went to ‘puter, she remnded me we needed some more of the match and sort, so we got the next 6 pages of exeter maths printed off, and then did them all. Obviously with breaks for skipping, annoying daddy, getting felt tip and pen on sofa and sulking when they were put away! Yes, my fault for having them on the sofa. We usually do it at the kitchen table though. Daddy was trying to sweep the floor, and kicking the piles was not appreciated. Anyway shes got the bigger than etc stuff sorted. we had to give up on one of the matching to the number line exercises tough, as she was seeing how long the path could be, and after 2 interminable squiggles there was no clear paper left. I was a giggly heap as well, as she was giving the pen road directions.

Beans on toast for lunch, so nice and simple, and we whipped through some of the phonics flash cards. She’s definitely getting the hang of this, though if she guesses the word, she’s apt to say something begining with the last letter or letter sound cluster.

We both had quite a play with BB, getting her to hold and stretch for a rattle. She is giggling a lot, and it makes SB proud. though she says ‘are you making fun of me’ to BB at this point.They’ve both been in a sunny mood today.

She nipped next door to visit our neighbours and then out to her friend’s party. As Chris went to, hopefully he will add something. She came back fast asleep anyway.

I actually did housework [shock]. blogged, and fed and played with BB. Mostly jiggles, tickles and silly names. She really does love her pudding club cube. I also got a letter re my medical. After panicking, i’ve decided to waitwocher [is it tm?] my meals in points, and limit them to breast feeder amounts. hopefully will lose a bit, and get me in habit. I also found some riviying trash on telly – being americas next supermodel. fantastic! They are so bitchy.

so , another good day, relaxed vibe to it.

hmm, getting passwords to work?

even I can’t get in to my password protected blog. wahts that all about then?
i popped in the password in the advanced editing of wordpress where it says Post Password, and thought that bob should be my uncle? he obviously isn’t. Help!
