Starting to wonder if this baby will ever arrive, I have done hot curry, pineapple, walking, riding an exercise bike for half an hour, and am now back to the beginning again, with thai food tonight. Nearly ten days late and counting. I am trying my best to keep as busy as possible, picnic yesterday, lunch out the day before, pet shop today, but tomorrow is a full day on my own so who knows what I will do. Hubby has an interview for a new job in the morning, so that is bound to get things moving. I have been reading the Sears book of Attachment Parenting, which is great, but it seems that it is something natural that has to be given a name, so people can make money from it. On the other hand, the methods they use allow women to keep their sanity while keeping their baby with them.
Speaking of sanity, avoid 'The contented little baby book' at all costs if you want to keep yours. The routines, feeding advice and principles behind the book are enough to drive anyone to the brink, with almost every minute of the day being accounted for.
Just relax, especially for the first couple of weeks, I am keeping my fingers crossed that is what I will do, if the boys let me, I only have to fit in school runs, housework, lunchboxes and the needs of two other children, how hard can it be?
