- trouble
- sadness
- pregnancy
- happiness
- tingles
- swelling
- expectation
- frightened
- operation
- high as a kite
- comedown
- joy
- rough nights
- routine

alien - 02:33 PM
(filed under 'tmi')
oh my gosh! i think i have an alien growing out of the back of my neck!
no, wait .. it's just a pimple. it's big enough to be an alien. if i suddenly seem to disappear off the face of the earth, stop blogging, stop answering email etc, then you know what happened.
laughter - 01:55 PM
(filed under 'baby')
i forgot to blog about this. yesterday morning was the first time i'd heard riley properly laugh. he's made lots of happy noises before, but this time it was a real laugh sound. he did it when i was blowing raspberries on his bare tummy, with the big build up beforehand, you know, saying, "are you ready?" then taking a long, loud breath before doing the deed.
he's so funny during the build up, because as i take the big breath, he starts to squirm, then stops & his eyes go wide in anticipation. then as i blow on his tummy he chuckles away & squirms around madly. it's adorable.
too hot - 12:31 PM

wants to sit - 08:58 AM

i don't think it'll be very far down the track until smiley is sitting up on his own. already he has the strength to hold his back & head up straight, but he doesn't have the balance yet to stay up. whenever he's lying across my knees or along my lap, he pushes his head up as though he's trying really hard to sit upright. if i support him in a sitting position, he's quite happy.

one thing i can be bothered doing though, is playing with riley smiley.
tired - 06:14 AM
(filed under 'general')
i'm so tired today & it's causing a bit of a 'blah' mood. one of those 'i just can't be bothered' type of days, you know?
fake email - 05:59 AM
(filed under 'general')
it really bugs me when people who make comments which are the opposite of the general viewpoint, or simply different from the general viewpoint, do not leave a real email address. if you have an opinion, then others have the right to respond to that opinion as much as you do.
i think it's rude & cowardly.
