12 weeks

I was thinking that Edward was getting better reflux-wise, but yesterday and today he has been sick big time. This morning was the first time in ages that it was more projectile, just when I'd removed the green blanket thing that I cover my pillows and the top of the duvet with. In himself though he's been fine - unsettled the last couple of evenings, and feeding until 10pm the evenings before that, but sleeping through 6-8 hours so not too bad.

Elizabeth has actually been better today behaviour-wise. After a few days of not eating (!) and being a nightmare, today passed by quite calmly (relatively speaking). We went to the Pirate Playpit for Oliver's birthday and she seemed to run off some energy there. I feel a lot better for having a more positive day - the last few days I've really been at my wits end with her. I know rationally that she is only two, and is going through big developmental changes in addition to the upheaval of having Edward, but the reality of dealing with her is something else. She is so difficult. So wilful. So demanding. So intense. She has me screaming and shouting and in tears and usually before 8am! There are so many funny things she does and says, and so many positives, which are very easy to lose sight of when I'm stuck in the middle of this. I know their childhood will whizz by and I'll regret wishing this time away, but I do long for a bit of an easier ride.

Nothing remarkable about the week really. Saw Lorna and Louisa on Monday, didn't make group on Tuesday, went to Sainsburys on Wednesday... Been trying to get into affiliate marketing, and have been accepted by a few different programmes. Not made any money yet though!
