losing it

I'm trying sooo hard to be good and stick to this whole dieting thing and work out everyday - but this is what I've realised - in polite society we must not acknowledge that we do anything in the struggling types to stay in shape - had wild and by wild i mean pre-baby sunday brunch with my favorite peeps - Varshu and Rash. Went to Shiro, wasnt let in becos of private party went to hard rock cafe, sawed really nice baby t-shirt but my baby too small for it and i'm too large (would not have been a problem in pre-baby days, when most stuff i had would be purchased from the 6year old size rack. So anyway, then I was asking someone else how they lost a whole bunch of weight (This is obsessivly on my mind, since I dont have too much to occupy it right now) and She was like oh, its no big deal - just stop eating....and anyway your breat feeding will take care of it. No it wont damn it - how ironic that she has no kids at all - wtf does she know. And I'm hungry damnit.

Anyway, had awesome girly lunch today - and plan to skip dinner...only the tummy - it rumblth!!!

Turn turn turn

Amelia is finally turning - YAY... we crossed another milestone all in good time.

She does the whole leg swinging thing, then she goes grunt grunt and swings her arm over.... then since she cant quite get her below arm out from under her, she hangs out on her side, 3/4 turned over tra-la-la-la, and sucks her fingers of the free hand. Then she starts sucking fingers of her other hand. and finally, when I think I should swoop in and release her arm pinned under her, she kind of shakes it out from under her like thats what she wanted to do all along,. but couldnt really be bothered when there was the verry important biznez of finger sucking to attend to.

Another milestone is we have finally moved her Mothercare cot here - and she is super excited - she's doing the whole matrix thing just now, where she propels herself by moving her feet through the railings sideways... My little superbaby.
