I’m having one of those "blah" days today. I’m generally just feeling a bit run down. No one can prepare you for how knackering being a Mum can be! On top of that I think I could be coming down with something. I hate to give in to bugs and they haven’t won in 4 years so I better dose up with some honey and lemon drinks and rest. In fact the DVD of the "Sound of Music" I borrowed off Mum might be just the thing to cheer me up a bit.

I shouldn’t complain, Grace I think is a relatively settled baby but I think any little person has the ability to tire you! hehe

It’s not helping that she still has not achieved a long period of sleep during the night. She is four months old today and I am wondering if it will ever happen, of course I know it will but when?? This has led me to think it’s time for her to move to her own room and her cot. Last night it dawned on me that I think she is waking because she gets out of her wrap and wakes herself on the edge of the bassinet. I was hoping to wait till she was sleeping longer through the night but I think I will give it a go during the day sleeps then night ones next week. It’s funny how I feel about her being in her own room, I worry about how she will cope when I’m know she will be absolutely fine but I still end up with a minor case of separation anxiety! hehe I am beginning to understand why you other Mother’s always say treasure every moment because they grow up so quickly. I can’t believe she is ready for her cot already!

I have been hoping to get some scrapping done, but by the time the evenings come round and she’s in bed and dinners cooked etc. I’m just not in the mood. I’m hoping Craig’s Mum may start to have Grace a bit more regularly soon so I can have some time to create. I do miss having the free time to get creative, I seem to need a few hours to get into the groove.

Well I think that’s enough moaning, I feel better already. Finally here are some pictures of my why in the end all this effort is so worth it….
