Random Ramblings

  The last four days have been every busy. We had a wonderful dinner with MIL on Sunday night. I cooked a roast chicken with lots of vegys, then we had home made ice-cream. Callum really enjoyed having Grandma around. He was smiling all the time at her. She can’t believe how big his is. The last time she saw him was at the beginning of the new year. He really is growing up to fast. We spent Easter Sunday at home, playing with Callum, then we all went for a walk down to the river. There where lots of families having afternoon/early dinner there. I love watching the families. Sometimes before Callum was born I would just sit and watch for minutes at a time. I sat on the bench and Matt and MIL walked past me and kept walking, it wasn’t till Matt yelled out for me, that I saw I’m now apart of my family. I wonder if people watch my family?

 My parents never rang and said “Happy Easter”. I know I could pick up the phone and call them, but just once I would like them to do it.

 It was like Heaven having Matt home for 4 days. I love him being around all day. We got so much done. We started on fixing up the garden. I love gardening. I finally got around to staining the french doors this weekend. They are looking good. They still need a clear gloss over them yet. Maybe next weekend, if I can find the time. 

I’m still waiting on my sling. I ordered it over three weeks ago now..I want to ring them, but I know if I do it will come in the mail tomorrow..and I’ll feel like a dill for ringing and asking them where it is.

 Callum is still not taking to the breast. Yesturday after I fed him he cuddled up right in the middle of them. It’s the first time, in a long time that he has cuddle up there. No screaming or kicking, just cuddling and then he fell asleep. He just looked so peacefull. I love these moments. I’m so luck to have them. I’m so luck to be a Mummy.

 There is play group on this friday. I really want to go. It’s all the Mummies and bubbies from a AP forum that I post too, I’m so nervous about going. I think it has to do with my fear of meeting new people. Yet I know them from the board. I can be very weird sometimes. I really want Callum to be social with babies around his age and interact with them. In the long term, these babies are going to be able to grow up together, play together and just be friends. I would really love that for him.

 We have two older ladys that live across the street with us. On Saturday morning I took Callum to met them. They just love him. They are very sweet. They have grand children of there own, but they live interstate. They fussed over him, like he was the only baby in the world. Callum smiled and played with them. They just loved it. They told me stories of when they had their babies and when their babies, had babies. I love older people, so many stories..So much wisdom to pass on.
