there was a guy where i used to work that was always banging on about how great it was to be a parent. he would totally piss me off by going on and on about how i should have kids. of course he was totally right. i get it now. being a mum is the best thing ever.
on monday it is the cg's birthday. for the first time ever G is staying home with a babysitter and we are going out for dinner. i think we will miss having her with us. even if she is asleep it's just nice having her around.

i can't believe how lucky we are. although G has the occasional meltdown she's a pretty easy baby to look after. she usually wakes us up at about 8am with lots of coos and gurgles and when i look into her moses basket she gives me a big smile and starts waving her arms and legs about with excitement. i usually give her a big hug and kiss and then put her in the big cot in the nursery for a while. she loves the books and toys in there and will "play" happily for twenty minutes or half an hour while i get myself "together" (nb that sometimes means go back to bed and snuggle witht the cg). not all the new mums i know have it this easy. i feel kind of bad for them and sometimes i just have to keep my mouth shut about how simple it is for us to put G to bed or how easy it is for us to go out for the day and not worry about it being stressful. i like to think that our laid back approach to parenting is what makes G such a good baby but that probably has nothing to do with it and we'll probably get punished later with the terrible two's or worse when she's a teenager.

i seem to have lost my mobile phone. i'm really quite pissed off about it. that aside, i'm in a great mood. the day started off with a massage and although i was the one giving not receiving it, it was still fun. G seemed to like it too. she seemed quite interested in the other mums and babies, probably more so than the actual massage. after the baby massage session i came home and made a picnic lunch and the cg and i sat on a blanket in the garden to eat it. G has been a very sleepy baby today so after lunch i lounged about outside and read a book which was lovely. she's still asleep now but i'll probably wake her soon to feed as it's hot today and i don't want her getting dehydrated. in a couple of hours i'm handing over my parental responsibilities to the cg and going to my aquafit class. it's not a very demanding session - mainly a lot of splashing about with a bunch of older ladies - but i enjoy it.

she slept on my lap all evening. it was so cosy, the two of us together in front of the tv. she probably won't sleep a wink tonight but it was worth it. (i may or may not agree with that statement later!)
