Induction, Sleeping, Cuts & Blood and anything else I can think of...

I've been meaning to post something here this week but every time I sat down to it I didn't know what to write, and then wondered if even half "so-called" readers would read it. So...I scrapped those plans of posting till now.

This week has been the same as last week and so forth so not much new really to report. Only thing is that yesterday evening was the induction of Rev. Tallach to Stornoway. So, Jett and Sam went up for that meaning they got home *very* late. And the other thing was that this morning began with a late start on the adults side, but the kids were fed, watered, and dressed before we even ate breakfast and then the trouble began...Amy was in her high chair (horrible high chair...NEVER buy cheaply you get what you pay for!!) the straps were SO tight even on the largest setting that I just trashed them, so I was using the tray to keep her in, another bad thing as the tray can be easily forced or pushed off...well, she was warned twice I think and nope, she leaned over too much and the tray gave way causing her to spiral in air hit her head on the table and crash to the floor... then we see blood pouring from her mouth (it was kind of pouring not gushing, just pouring slightly)... off to the doctor we went. Thankfully she didn't go cut through her lip, though it did look like it at first, and no stitches as it would probably tear/rip the lip even worse. I took a picture of her with the cuts but you can barely see the one on the outside (the other is inside). See below...


I'm nearing 32 weeks (right?? I did count right...32 already!?) and wondering where the time has gone! Half of me is wanting it over and done with, but another part of me feels not ready to go through birth/delivery/afterbirth over again.

I decided to go to the doctor about this eczema issue of ours (Amy and me) and got cream for both of us...I'm happy to report evidence to it being under control as it was extremely aggravating to us both. But, I do fear of it just flaring up again once we have used the cream up, or gotten completely rid of the eczema. We shall see.

Here is Amelia Jane first thing one of the mornings this week, she came down with her three little teddy bears (she claimed both that mom in law gave for the kids, and of course John's bear). I thought she looked very sweet here hugging the purple one (Aaron's bear according to Amy!!).And here they both are up still in their night clothes playing with bears.

As far as sleeping is concerned, I must admit my shocking surprises that my son is making! He has been sleeping through the night for quite sometime now (as long as he is fed real well during the day). As well as that, he is learning how to go to sleep by himself in his own playpen/travel cot, without my assitance. I cuddle him for a couple of minutes and then I put him lying down in his bed and he stays that way till he falls asleep (WOW!). He has been an easy baby that is for sure, but this was entirely unexpected, and he has been doing this for at least two weeks if not more - it is wonderful. :)

Speaking of which, here is my little man on the ride-on toy. I put him on, and he loved it, in fact too much because he would get so angry and scream when I took him off...*sigh* human nature comes out so readily.

And then I had to post these. Something else I've noticed different of my boy compared to Amy, is that he likes to get on his tummy to play.

I think it is really cute!

What a cute smile! :)The weather has been lovely here for a good part of the week, what a nice change compared to the winter! So much is coming up in the next week and month (April). Next week (I was properly informed) is the N.Tolsta communion of which Sam will be all being well going to. This monday, Jett hopes to have the students over for dinner, Wednesday a prenatal appointment, and April is covered with Leverburgh communion, the Youth Conference, and our moving to Perth... oh dear, lots to consider and do! But for now, I need to get off and hang up some laundry.
