Illness and a night out!

Dear Aidan

We have both been ill for over a week now. Thankfully we seem to be over the worst of it. We both had a trip to the GP and had medicine. The medicine you were given made your tummy sore so we had to stop it. You seemed to be better after that.

Last night Nana and Papa babysat for you while Mummy and Daddy went out. It was the first time we have been out since Mummys birthday. We had a lovely meal in a restaurant then went to the cinema. I missed you lots but I wasn't home long before you woke me to be fed :-) Sounds like you had a good time with Nana and Papa, not going to bed until nearly 9pm! You made up for it this morning by sleeping until 9.30am, it was lovely to have a longer sleep.

Pressure power!

Dear Aidan

Well we attended the meeting today with the MSP and breastfeeding co-ordinator who had made the decision to close the group. The outcome was good - we won and the group is staying open now (albeit in a new location). You were charming everyone as usual and adding your 2p into the conversation.

Today you are still a bit poorly with your teeth being sore, you have slept (and grumbled) a lot today. Tonight before bed me, you and Papa were playing with your teddies when you decided to start kissing them. Funnily when Papa asked for a kiss you squealed and turned away.

Daddy is working tonight, so Mummy is spending the night watching tv and now I'm going to bed - hope you sleep for a few more hours yet :-)

Big aahhhss xx

Breastfeeding Support Group

Dear Aidan

Last week we were told at our Breastfeeding Support Group that it would be the last week and it was being closed. Mummy has been busy along with a few of the other Mums trying to stop it being closed. Yesterday the local newspaper came to take our photos, I will keep a copy for you. Tomorrow, Mummy is going to meet the local MSP to talk about it some more. Fingers crossed it stays open and you get to keep playing with your baby friends.

Hugs from Mummy

New tooth.

Dear Aidan

Last night when you woke I felt the pokings of a new tooth (your 3rd) and it was sticking right through this morning. You had a grumpy day and tonight when you went to bed your temperature was 38.2 degrees, it's normally about 36.4 degrees.

Today we went to visit N, P and baby R (who is 11 days older than you). You had soup for lunch and then apple crumble which you liked a lot. I think you enjoyed playing with someone elses toys and kept chewing on balloons.

Kisses from Mummy

First Blog

Dear Aidan

This is my first blog *ever*. You are currently 8 months old and such a handsome little boy, you bring me so much joy. I'm on maternity leave from my job at the moment and due to return to work in February, I hate the thought of leaving you but Mummy's Gran will take good care of you. Mummy has recently found out that she is going back to university in September '09 to train to be a midwife. I'm very excited and hope you will be proud of me one day.

Love Mummy
