Rainy day

It’s been raining all day here. Autumn has definitely arrived…went for a walk yesterday in the sun and felt that familiar chill in the air. I love this time of year….it’s crisp and fresh, you can dig out your old comfy jumpers (dressing is SO much easier at this time of year!) and I start to get excited about Christmas! I love snuggling up on the sofa in soft pyjamas with a cup of tea, putting the fire on…..ahhhh, I’m sounding all wistful!

My boy has FINALLY fallen asleep in my arms……and I’m stuck with Star Trek on the TV as I daren’t move in case he wakes up. He now weighs 10lb so my arm is beginning to buckle slightly. Today he has mostly cried and grizzled.  I think the curry I had last night might have upset his tummy…..it’s been making these weird gurgly sounds. Instead of being content after feeds, like he usually is, he’s screaming the place down…..I think it’s trapped wind, but it’s a bitch to get it all up. I’m using this Colief stuff before every feed-it’s supposed to break down the lactose in the milk, or something- but I don’t think it’s making a blind bit of difference! Thank God for my Baby Bjorn sling-when all else fails, I put him in it and he stops crying instantly! It must stretch his tummy out or something.

Despite all this, we had a big triumph last night-he fell asleep in his basket with only a few grizzles after his middle-of-the-night feed!!! Woohoo! That’s a first!

I’m so tired. I don’t know where the hours in the day go! I don’t feel like my entries are very inspired at the mo. In fact all I seem to write about is feeding and sleeping!  Ok, so here’s something a little bit different……and I need help from you guys……Jess aka utopian*dream did this, and I think it’s a fab idea. Ask me questions! Anything at all. Or request pics. Anything to get me writing about something other than baby stuff!

Be back to note later….the little man is stirring…………….

AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

lots of love happycookie and William xxxxxxxxxxxx
