finding my feet...

Things seem to be getting easier and more enjoyable. Had a great day today - didn't venture outside (didn't want to as weather totally crap), but managed to get lots done including playing with E-chan and video skyping my parents so they could go all ga gaa over him. Am getting better at knowing what he wants when he wants it, so the crying has reduced quite a lot, and he's getting much more sleep (and so am I), so is happier when awake. E-chan is getting good at lifting his neck up and has started making cute little noises! We get lots of smiles also!! Can only manage one outing a day though - did 2 yesterday, and it seemed like way too much to manage.

Went to my 3rd mothers group yesterday, and gradually we are getting to know each other and have fun together with out babies. At the mention of potentially forming a babysitting group yesterday, about 8 of us exchanged details. One of the other mothers lives a hop, skip and a jump away and most are in the same suburb, so it seems likely that a good support network can grow!
