Stressing

I am trying not to stress too much about the house selling and everything else that is happening in the next few months. I am a bit sad at the moment though as I am stressing about keeping everything clean and tidy for inspections/open house and with Cadell being very unsettled the last few days (teething/sore throat) it has made things difficult and I am exhausted. I am sad that I can't let him make a mess and do things like painting and colouring with him at the moment. I can't wait to be in our new place that hopefully will have a really good outdoor area and we can do painting/sand play/water play outside a lot before the new baby is born.

I am also sad that I haven't really given the new baby much thought over the past 6-7 weeks. Really since the beginning of the year. It has been a much different pregnancy to Cadell's, in alot of ways it has been a simple pregnancy, as I have just literally been too busy to think much about symptoms etc. I guess that comes with subsequent pregnancies. I couldn't make it to my 30 week hospital appointment on Wednesday and they couldn't reschedule so I am just going to see the Dr but can't get in to see her until I'm nearly 32 which is when i need to go for another appointment anyway so will just have to miss my 30 week one. Its not like they can do anything anyway. The only thing i might be concerned about is how he is growing, but he moves plenty and I've been keeping an eye on that. I am exhausted and a bit lightheaded often but with what we have been undertaking lately its not surprising.

I originally wanted to start this blog to record lots of details about my pregnancy and time with Cadell but with everything that has been happening I haven't felt like keeping up. I would like to now though. Still unsure if I will make this blog public or not, but I would first like to start getting myself into a routine of posting a few times a week to keep up. Will see how I go. I really want to document the new baby's first months of life well, so want to get into a habit before then.

Project 365 Week 3 Days 15-21

Project 365 Week 3.  Lining up his cars. He says 'Ar ok, tuck?' (Are you ok truck) when one moves out of line. Jan 15 Cleaning the house for photos as it has gone on the market. We don't really want to have to move after only moving in a month ago. :( Jan 16 Holding the bottle himself. He seems to have been preferring the bottle more than me at the moment. Jan 17 Already throwing the ball for Tessie. Jan 18 Slept 13 hours straight last night! First time for months that he has done that. Jan 19 Not part of project 365 but this was Cadell at the park, he had a great time! Jan 19 Happy 7 months to Liam! Standing by himself clever boy. Jan 20 37 degrees today so he came in a bit sweaty after his morning play! Jan 21

Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.
