aww isnt she cute, but then i would say that!


well Ruby will be 6 weeks tomorrow and she is definately feeling like part of the family now. Its funny how you quickly adjust to a new baby and slip into a routine. She smiles loads and has started gooing and gaaing which is very sweet. It is taking some time but she is gradually becoming more of a contented baby. She hasnt enjoyed this hot weather we have been having it must be my Scottish genes she has inherited, more used to the cold weather. I think she is generally just all hot and bothered, lets hope the rest of the summer doesnt get too hot.


My partner seems to be adjusting to having a new baby now, he does most of ruby's baths and feeds before she goes down to bed at night and since she has started smiling at him i think he is feeling a bit more loved. I've told him not to take it so personally when she cries and wont stop he seemed to think it was because of him, but babies cry its what they do and something Ruby is very good at!


Jessica started playgroup last week, its only a couple of hours on a thursday morning but she loved it, i think she is really ready for it. Educationally i dont think its that important at the moment as she is doing well for her age regards to counting, colours, shapes etc but socially i'm hoping it will bring her on a bit. Every morning since she went she has asked if she can go and play with the boys and girls so i'm taking this as a good sign. I'm going to try and leave her this week and see how it goes. I imagine its going to be harder for me than it will be for her.


I've given up hope of losing weight by just eating chocolate sadly it doesnt seem to work, so i've gone on the GI diet, to be honest a lot of it is common sense and just eating healthy while cutting down on portion size. Been to the gym a couple of times but really need to start making it more of a regular thing. Its just trying to fit it in. I pretty much feel knackered all the time and feel slighlty guilty of leaving the girls with their dad when he been at work all day. But i do feel the benefits of getting out on my own for an hour and doing a bit of exercise. I think i'd feel happier in myself too if i lost weight. I put on 2 1/2 stone when i was pregnant i have lost sum of it but still got another 11 pound to go and hopefully a bit more will follow.


take care x

hya,

she certainly is cute! No question about it.

Its bound to take a wee bit of adjustment but i'm sure ya won't be able to concieve of life without her.

i think that its really important for kids to meet other chidlers as you said to improve their social skills which to be fair are just as important if not more imprtant than academic 1's in the school of life!
