Evelyn is definatly teething, the drooling has increased and she's been much more cranky than normal, she's been a bit hard to handle at times. I would like a little break. But I don't think I am going to get one until Saturday IF Ben doesn't have to go into work.... Otherwise it will be Monday when I am home in Toronto and my wonderful doula Jennifer comes at 8am-noon before I get some real me time... I admit I AM SO looking forward to those 4 hours of bliss....
Ben worked until very late AGAIN tonight, some major issues apparently. He's stressed to the max and it's sad that he hasn't seen the baby or awake since Sunday for more than 5 mins. I hate to see him so used up at the end of the day, and dreading the morning.
I did take a a wee bit of time for myself tonight and had a bath in our giant bath tub I have no idea why I haven't taken a bath before today, it was lovely. But it was also only 10 mins long since Evelyn was fussing. The teething is also causing her not to sleep well like usual as well. Which means I am not sleeping well, and am tired so I have not been up for sightseeing at all... sigh....
I had hoped to do/see something interesting and different this week. Instead today I spent the day cat napping with the baby until 1pm then got up and went to the "pound store" (like the dollarama) and got a few kitchen & bathroom type things we needed.
I bought Evelyn a Paddington bear and the original story book. Which she promptly threw up on uggg :( Lucky he is a nice washable kind, the lady recommended this one because of Evelyn's age and she's a grandma and said this is what she give to her grandkids at this age. She was right, this Paddington is quite resilient and washable :)
It was mostly a lovely sunny day, but with a nice cool breeze so it wasn't too hot or humid today. I enjoyed the walk to the pound store and to the shop that sells the Paddington bears, I had been eyeing the shop since the first night we went down Portobello road, and had gone in a few times, but hadn't yet decided what to buy until today.
I also went to Green Baby to buy Evelyn some more cloth bibs this whole teething and drooling thing kinda grosses me out so I feel the need to wipe up after her and change her clothes or bib often, to see it sopping wet with goo just won't do. I got some nice cotton organic ones that are particularly for catching the drool of teething babies.
I looked in the mirror today and think that all my walking around the neighborhood has been paying off. I think I have lost some more baby weight. So that was pleasing.
I really can't get over how often people comment on Evelyn and her blue eyes and how lovely she is. I mean I think she's lovely but I'm her mummy. Everyone thinks her blue eyes are stunning. I should try and take some more photos of them along with her big smiles!
So I guess nothing new or that exciting to report today. I guess it was a pretty average living in London kind of day.
