Sarah went to see the consultant for her second appointment at the hospital yesterday. Although it would appear that the little white marks on her face which have been there since she was born are nothing to worry about, the consultant was still a bit mystified, and wanted to do further research. Sarah was as good as gold while we were there, smiling at everyone, and being her usual beautiful self.
The day before she had her third lot of immunisations, shortly after rolling off her changing mat. It was a horrible moment. I have her changing mat on a chest of drawers in our room, and had gone to flush her nappy liner. Elizabeth was on our bed, and I heard her shout "Mum, Sarah's on the edge!" closely followed by a loud thud. I came in to find her lying with the mat on top of her, with a bright red mark on her head. She screamed a lot, and it was terrifying, but she settled down and nothing untoward happened afterwards, so I thought she was probably ok. She was not happy to be having three injections so soon afterwards though...
Edward was reading 'Little Nut Brown Hare' while waiting for Elizabeth to stop having a tantrum earlier this week, and pointed at 'Mr Brown Hare' as he calls him, saying that he shouldn't be climbing! Edward still feeds in the evening, and has his special pillow to rest his head on now. He is having more and more tantrums "want do it self" and "no" being favourite phrases, but he can also be unbelievably sweet, kissing things better for people, hugging Sarah... he is going through a bit of a phase of being frightened of hairs, which is a little wearing, as I'm losing so much hair at the moment.
Elizabeth has just had her first proper haircut at the hairdressers today - she was good as gold and it went well. We've just been to buy another pair of shoes for both her and Edward, setting us back £64. Thank goodness we're not buying for the three of them at the moment!
We're about to embark on making a pizza for us all this afternoon, once husband and Elizabeth come back from Sainsburys. There are lots of things to do at the moment. Home insurance just renewed, trip to register office in Shrewsbury to put wheels in motion for ammending Sarah's birth certificate, I've applied for some part-time work online e.g. Mystery Shopping, home tutoring etc. Husband is researching mortgages etc, as when he (if he?) gets a payrise we need to look at the stay or move question, before perhaps considering whether we want to try for a forth baby. I love love love Sarah so much, she is a dream to look after, but do I want to go through another pregnancy? Saying that, it is soon forgotten once baby is here, but do I want to go through it all again? Am so tired, and remember how tired I was being pregnant and looking after Edward. We don't seem to have any space or any time, but a baby would be another family member, who'd be here forever, whereas houses and cars are more transient things - we can always get bigger and better ones in the future. We'll see. Husband and I off out for a drink tonight so perhaps we'll have chance to think about it then!
