My husband and I live in a rural city in Central West NSW, Australia. We have a beautiful little boy who we love dearly. I'm a stay home mum while my husband works full-time. We look forward to seeing who Caleb is going to grow into...we pray that he will know Jesus as his saviour!
The community which I'm involved in is exploding with babies...this is great as we can all chat about things and our kids will always have friends to play with. The church that I go to just had it's 14th baby in 18 months born (10 boys, 4 girls) and there are another 4 babies to come in the next 6 months (so far). It's heaps of fun seeing all the babies and watching how each develop so differently!
My boy, Caleb, seems to do things before he's meant to so far...he's only 6 months old and he's already been sitting up for 2 months and is now trying to crawl! No doubt, though, he'll end up not walking till he's 2 or something to make up for it!

Well, today a friend from mothers group & I went to the movies with our bubs (both born on same day - 7months old). Neither of us were sure whether we would make the duration of the movie. But we did, WE MADE IT! We both ended up feeding to "shush" our boys. The other baby actually went to sleep during this process, Caleb stayed awake...he climbed all over me, tried to eat our popcorn, tried to get our lollies, slobbered all over my water bottle, smiled cheekily at us, whinged a little, played with his feet and I finally gave in and let him have a rusk...we were both covered in slobbery biscuity goodness! He tried to offer the rusk to my friend too...it was quite funny!
So, now that we know we can do it, we are going to go again! Cheap Tuesdays are great! It was a nice, relatively stress free outing for a realitively good price!
YAY...Mum power! |

Well, I let Caleb go on Tuesday night to see how long he would sleep for. I fed him at about 7pm and he went to bed not long after. He didn't wake up till 6am! How awesome is that! Last night I was going to do the same but Caleb woke up because of some noise at 10 & without thinking I fed him! In hindsight I should have got my husband to settle him back to sleep but I'm just too used to being a dairy cow that I just went straight to feeding him! We are going out tonight & he'll be babysat till about 9 or so, unfortunately this will be done at someone elses house so he'll be woken up to come home. Hopefully he'll just settle in for the night, but I'll have to wait & see! |

Well, what a weekend! We had all of my husbands family stay with us this weekend. So that was an extra 7 bodies on top of our 3! We also had my family here (an extra 8 people) for lunch on sunday and then my brother was here for dinner as well so that was another 7 bodies on top of that again!!! Caleb was held, played with, tickled, cuddled, fed, etc...by many many people...tonight, he didn't want to go to sleep (I wonder why). The poor little tacker didn't know what was going on tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be better than today!

I'm going through the thought process now of trying to work out whether or not to stop waking Caleb up to feed (or doing a "dream feed") before I go to bed at night and see how long he'll sleep for. Like tonight, I feed him at 5.30, it's now 10.09 and he hasn't woken up...I don't know what's best, I kinda want to keep feeding him before bed in case he wakes up half hour after I go to bed...for my own comfort this is a big issue!
Oh well...here continues the constant battle of "what's best"?
