What I have been doing...

...generally my day goes like this: Feed and change Evie, get ready myself (this can take anything from 10 mins to an hour, depending on whether Evie is asleep or crying), come downstairs and eat breakfast, feed and burp Evie, try and do the washing up and put a load in the washing machine (again can take anything from 10 mins to...all day!...depending on whether Evie is asleep, or happy to not be cuddled), change Evie, do some ironing/or hoovering/ or general tidying up of bottles/muslins/towels/baby clothes, feed and burp Evie, have lunch, go for a walk round the park, feed and burp, make dinner, eat dinner, bath Evie, feed and burp, wait for Steve to come home so he can take over!, catch up with Stevie, have a bath, feed and burp, go to bed. Doesn't sound like much but that takes all day. And I love it!!! I really really do. She is such a joy to take care of.

So today was a bit different cos its the weekend and they are great cos Daddy is home and we can go out in the car for fun trips. Went to Whitstable today and Steve had a couple of hours of samba music training while Mummy and Evie went to the coffee shop ALL BY THEMSELVES for the very first time, believe me it was a celebratory moment. Evie charmed half the customers with her big eyes and little baby burpies. "oh he's so lovely!" "thank you, yes, she is" "such a perfect little face! how old is he?" "she's 4 weeks" "he's very good isn't he?" "yeah She is, we're smitten with Her" "we've got a little Grandson, he's a lot bigger than he is though" "yeah, She's tiny" "is he a boy or a girl?" "Girl." True story. And he was wearing pink.

Steve and I are very excited about a house we viewed today...will keep you posted on the Kreegers move take 2.

Face it, you need to get her ears pierced and stick one of those bows or head bands on Evie! Steve wears pink and he's a boy, so it's a common mistake to be made!!!!

Hi Joanna and Steve and Evie - thanks for lovely catch up email which I have forwarded to J&M and K&A&M&R and R&K so that covers the NZ lot. Amazing that people would think Evie is a boy when she is way too beautiful! Coming to work each day to read the blog updates is fun. Love Aunty Mary x
