Sister Act

Beth seems to have that calming influence on Emily, brilliant news. Now Strings and I can pop to the pub!

Smile

Got my first genuine smile from little Emily at 2:30am this morning. Makes being up at that hour worthwhile. She has got a cold, as has her mother and Beth has a cough. I have escaped for now...

Dumpton: Emily spent her first night on her own, in her cot last night. And she did really well! Only one feed and a couple of windings. We think she has a little colic as she is really suffering with wind but we have put her on a colic relief medicine and upgraded the teats to super rocket flow.

Ramsgate: Happy Mothers' Day Parkes! Pizza Express with the girls.

Weight Update

Emily weighed-in last week at 7lb 5oz, after being 6lb three weeks before. Good eating, girl!

Diva number 2

Emily's first hair wash, at home though.

Diva!

Beth having her first Salon hair wash, a diva in the making...

Emily Update

The whole family is pretty tired right now. Emily is doing really well and sleeping at night, but the broken sleep is taking its toll and early nights are definitely the way forward. She is shifting more to formula milk now and this is helping her bowels. Parkes is still sleeping in Emily's room for now and, next weekend, I should be build Emily's cot. Beth is taking all of the changes in her stride, like the true pro she is.

Tomorrow, the Richborough towers will be demolished. Not sure quite how I feel about this. I think they are part of that particular stretch of coastline, however, ask me in a week's time and I will have probably changed my mind (I can be like that, y'know).

Also, tomorrow, I will be joining Thanet Bowls Club. They seem a jolly friendly bunch and hopefully I will be able to devote enough time to make it worthwhile.
