Edward is 11 weeks old now...

Haven't had him weighed this week. Has been an up and down kind of week. We stayed at home for most of the time, battling with the washing (endless loads of) and tidying (never-ending) while Elizabeth increasingly tantrums and shrieks, and Edward feeds and is sick. Went out to meet friend with baby on Monday for a lunch-time get-together at a pub. Nearly had a nervous breakdown as trying to manage Elizabeth was so exhausting, then Edward wouldn't stop crying and having changed both nappies in the boot of the car and managed to drop blankets and all sorts all over the place... well!! I was approached by a complete stranger who said how well-behaved Elizabeth was though! We also got out on Friday to Pirates Playpit, an absolute Godsend. She ran off loads of energy and could go on the slides and ball-pit etc by herself, so I could wander around with Edward. The only problem came when it was time to leave!

The car went in to get its window/alarm problem fixed but they weren't able to fix it, so I've got to have another day without the car this week. Other than that, a quiet week.

We went shopping yesterday, Edward in his sling and Elizabeth in her buggy. Husband has a £30 haircut but it still looks like it hasn't been cut. I got a couple of packs of t-shirts in 6-9 size for Edward from Primark (£2 each) - he's just moving into 6-9 month now. I'm considering putting the bath into the loft now as he's getting too big for it. I've tried him a couple of times in a sleeping bag at night, but with little success. In fact he had a dreadful night last night, and woke up 3-4 times. He's grown out of the first size sleeping bag before he's even been in it! The products we bought from the Reflux company have arrived, namely a series of plastic blocks to raise one end of his cotbed, and a cotbed wedge to save me having to use the small pregnancy bump support that is quite useful on his changing mat and gym. So far not had much real call for them as he's still in his small cot, but their time will come. He's been playing on his gym a lot more, and is a lot more into grabbing his toys.

We've been thinking about making money again. Need to make £40,000 to get a new house. Had the house valued on Friday evening, and that is the basic maths!
