After a lovely evening Saturday night at Nic’s seargents house for dinner in which I got a lot of time to talk to another sewing mummy , Eli got to run around like a mad thing playing with their two beautiful children and Nic was able to talk cars and his usual aerosexual talk (that i usually have to smile, nod and pretend to understand!)
Eli went to bed quite late but in a great mood due to all his play and woke up very late Sunday morning also in a lovely mood!
I slept until ten whilst Nic performed the mundane parental morning duties, and , feeling very spoilt i received my bacon ,eggs and toast in bed having only to surface finally from my bed to get coffee
The rest of the day was relaxing . Nic and the boys from next door took Eli for a cruise along Stockton beach where they took some lovely photos and Eli was delighted to be allowed to play in the driver’s seat of the Prado whilst Nic cleaned the car afterwards.
Bug did not want to go to sleep at the routine settling time on Sunday night so understandably I was freaking out, after staying up late to finish sewing his cloth wipes, that he would wake up early this morning , especially as this was his first night in his pea pod MCN (modern cloth nappy)
This morning he DID awake at the unfortunate hour of 6 am and not clinging to much to the hope of him resettling I brought him downstairs and put him to bed with me where he slept in until 8!
I drifted in and out of sleep snuggling my beautiful little bundle, sometimes just gazing at his gorgeous peaceful sleeping face wondering where the time had gone and realising just how precious the next few weeks are going to be.
These 5 weeks (or less as my doctor and body are pretty sure of) will be my last chance to spend such vast amounts of one on one quality time with my firstborn before having to share my time and attention with Fyn as well.
With this realisation unable to leave my mind, Eli and I ventured forth to the pet shop where he spent a good half an hour giggling and yabbering at the little puppies for sale there. He greeted them with exclamations of
“dog dog”
And then waved goodbye when we did need to go.
Still feeling bad about soon having to share my time with Eli I spoilt him and treated him to a juice and donut sitting up on a big peoples chair at the food court at the shopping centre.
Nap time now zzzzzzzzzzzz
Lovely long nap by my precious Eli bug meant I got a nice chat in with my bestie, Bec who is enjoying her day off work And I managed an hour’s nap as well!
Today is wonderful!
When Eli woke up we had a nice long bath because as aforementioned I have only got 5 weeks left of this pregnancy therefore the curse of the lower back pain is rearing its ugly head more and more often!
Another long phone call with my Bec whilst watching Eli play happily with his toys I found that my attention had wandered off him and solely on my conversation and then
SMACK
I was hit fair and square, with much force right on my forehead with a wooden puzzle board!
And Eli laughed
Little demon child!
It’s amazing, even though i was actually in a substantial amount of pain how quickly my anger subsided as he happily went back to playing after being heavily chastised for hitting
How cute and perfect are these creatures we create?
I am feeling the afternoon heaviness now and Eli (after helping me clean up) is getting his creative juices flowing and drawing some pictures as a present for when his little brother arrives to stay!
Tonight, my plan of attack was to finally finish my second attempt at the playsuit pattern I had created.
When I began sewing something instantly ignited in me.
Finally something just for me that stimulated me enough to keep me entertained plus boosted my self esteem to find out how well the end result turned out!
I began with very easy patterns for pants (as before this id sewn a few toys and some cloth wipes) I had never sewn clothing before and was hesitant.
The pattern was easy and turned out gorgeous! So I’ve adapted it and others to make it MINE
How nice does it feel to find that one thing that that is yours, something other than your children that you can consume your time with and be passionate about
