Rainy Monday

Another good night for Megan. Only woke up twice, crying for 5mins each time! But why am I so tired? Need to catch up on some sleep!
Work is hectic but my parents/babysitters are back now so with all the work, I may be able to afford some patio furniture! Cant wait to have a BBQ again!

Sleep!

Well last night was much improved! Megan only cried for 10mins at 1.30am then woke at 5.30am and cried for 5 mins then played with her toys for a while!!Much better!

Well, we're a bit tired,

Well, we're a bit tired, but not much more than usual! Megan woke up at 11pm and cried for an hour then she woke up at 3am and cried for an hour then woke up at 6am, which wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, as Duncan said I fell asleep through some of the crying! It was hard leaving her for that long, but no pain no gain! We'll see how it goes this week.

The health visitor said no

The health visitor said no feeds at night. Okay, must be strong. Musn't buckle! She said it could take a week. Who needs sleep anyway!!

Was a fluke!

She was back to her wakeful self again last night! 2am, 4am, 5.30 awake! But getting used to it! I may see what the health visitor suggests later.

Bliss!

I got 8 hrs solid sleep last night!! Bliss! She slept from 8.30pm to 4.30am then had a short feed and slept till 5.45am which is very good for her as she has been waking up at 5am for a few weeks. Typical as I just bought her some curtains for her room yesterday! (Its a small window).

Work is going well as I have three jobs on the go! But cant wait till Mum gets back next week so that I can get a bit more done. We're off to our mother and baby group this morning, walking the there and back (about 3-4 miles). Its amazing what you can do when you've had a good nights sleep!

Multi-tasking!

Well I've just about recovered, with just a hacking cough to show for it,  after last weeks going's on! My new freelance status is taking off a bit too well! I am now loaded down with work! And my babysitters have gone on holiday for 4 weeks, which is just typical! My sister has been helping me out but I have had to take Megan around with me for most of the time! And she's watching a little too much Cbeebies for my liking!! But I am going to plan my time a bit better this week if I can. I also got ill with a sore throat/ cough and was a bit feverish for a few days just to add to it! But its much needed money, so its all good!
Congratulations to Lisa on the news of her second baby on the way! Can't wait!

Teething!

Megan is being a moaning minny at the moment! But she has an excuse, as her to two front teeth are coming through!
She is also rolling quite often now, but only to the left! And once she's on her front she gets stuck! She'll work it out! She managed to unhook a plastic ring from her play ring so that she could chew on it! Very clever!
Also my new business cards arrive at the end of the week! (Designed by Jeremy Cook - top graphic designer friend!) My new website will also be coming soon. ( Designed by Duncan Hughes - top website designer and father of my child!) - www.escape-design.co.uk

Work

I spent the morning at work today, as I am filling in for someone who is on holiday from my old company. I am working mornings all week apart from thursday which will be all day! It was a bit of a rush getting out the house by 8.15am but I made it! It was quite enjoyable to work again but when it got nearer to 1pm I was itching to go and see Megan again! She had a good time with Mum and ate her lunch like a good girl!

6 Months & 1 week old!

Megan rolled over and I missed it! She was on her back, then I went into the kitchen for a few minutes and she started moaning because she was stuck on her front!
