Well the first week of my diet didn't go too well. I ate fine after Monday but I only managed to lose 1lb! Not happy with that so trying to be extra careful with what I eat and making sure I stay active, not hard with 3 boys under 4!
Last Thursday I had my hair done. I had some dye put in it and some highlights and then she chopped away at it. It is still long and I can tie it up but I left it down for a whole week! I've never done that before.
In the last week a few things have happened. I've had my first proper chuckle out of Oscar and it is so cute! I will try and get it on video as it's just amazing when they first start laughing. He gets the hiccups quite quickly when he does.
I've also started to put him in a sleeping bag this week rather than the blankets as they are just a pain in the bum, plus you end up disturbing him every time you want to tuck him back in.
He has finally found his thumb properly now and I'm able to leave him in his chair and he settles himself to sleep. I also think it is helping him to go longer at night as last night he went from 9pm to 6:30am! Then he fed and went back to sleep until 8:30am. What a good boy. I know it won't last so I just enjoy it while it happens.
I've finally put him in 3-6 month grows and he is very quickly growing out of the 0-3 outfits. More clothes to sort out! I have bought him a few new outfits though.
We left Oscar with a baby sitter for the first time! I turned 32 on Thursday and wanted to go out for a meal. I was happy to take him and I assumed we were but Saskia said she didn't mind having him for us. It was so strange driving to the restaurant without him. Even stranger was eating, drinking and chatting without any distractions. I had a fab time. We had to rush a little bit at the end but I'm certainly not complaining. He was a good boy though and went from 10pm to 5:30am.
As for me, I'm feeling quite well. I feel on top of things at the moment and not too stressed out about anything, which is nice and refreshing. Oscar seems to have settled down recently and he isn't really any trouble apart from the evenings when trying to get him to bed but even that I'm not stressing about as in time it will sort itself out.
The debate of adding to the brood continues. I discuss it with friends but never with Rob as I don't want him to tell me a definite no. I'm still open to the idea and if he said yes to having another I don't know when I would want to do it. 1/2 of me says get it out the way, do the hard work early etc and then settle down, and the other half says give yourself a break for a bit and then decide. It's such a hard decision to make with only 5 months to decide really if I want a similar age gap as the first 3. Will approach the subject with Rob when Oscar is older.
As for Oscar, the name still doesn't sit right with me so I have started to call him Oz which I quite like and think suits him better.
Right off to get ready for a party and Oz is stirring for a feed anyway.
