ailbheI've been messing with my schedule. I've decided there's too much in it. So now I have Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings unscheduled, and Monday and Thursday afternoons.
If I ever get around to registering Emer with a GP and booking our postnatal appointment, I will take up postnatal swimming classes at the local pool on Tuesday mornings, which means Linnea and Emer in the creche and me in the pool all on my own. And then me in the pool with Linnea while Emer is either still in the creche or sitting at the poolside or in the pool with us, which might mean we only have one lesson ever, you never know.
I also need to think about my not-a-tupperware party. Fiona-the-midwife about whom you all know so much is a rep for an aromatherapy products company and she gave me one of her catalogues and there's lots of stuff in it I intend to buy, for Christmas presents and so on. Massage oils, essential oils, bases for making up your own bath products, and lots of pre-blended stuff, and some gift sets. It occurred to me that other people might enjoy attending a party where they got to sample things, and since I am going to buy stuff, no-one else has to. Is this a hideous idea? the whole parties-for-selling-things sits very badly with me, but I actually thinnk it might be enjoyable. I know a few people around during the day and Fiona likes babies and toddlers and it could be fun. Tea and cake and lavender oil.
Laundry is becoming an issue. However, I am reaching the point where I actually can heft baskets of wet laundry around, so it will be under control soon.
I've started charting Emer's sleep times so I have some idea what I've got to work with. Knowing ahead of time when it's possible to give Linnea a bath or do a big clear-up and tidy or whatever.
And someone is coming round in the next few days to try a couple of slings and baby carriers.
I need to post about Friday - ERAPA, new computer - and Saturday - found a coat - and Sunday - stayed in bed all morning cluster-feeding and being puked on. There's a growth spurt coming.
