SUCH A HARD LIFE...

I walked into the family room last night and saw Teddy on the couch :

ABOVE: just how comfy does he look then? Little muppet.

ABOVE: oh sorry, did I disturb you? I see you are still hogging your pillow!
lol

ABOVE: Coco's favourite place, Steve's lap. Nevermind what he's doing... she just parks herself there. So cute.

Today? I want to find a tile place still... will look into the cost of a glass splashback too... But I kinda like the idea of doing my own tile one.

ABOVE: my kitchen... and the blank wall where I want the splashback... can't be anything too busy... hmmmm.
Think we have to do damn grocery shopping too...

And much later on today Amanda and Andrew are dropping Emily off as they have a work Ball to attend in town. We get to babysit Emily! Hope she doesn't get hungry! I have not got 'working' equipment like the Mum!

ONWARD...

*SQUEALS*... I found the tiles I LOVE!
But... as we are heading out again right now to find some wood to build the 'whelping box' for Coco... so I will show you later. Might even be tomorrow... just so ya have to come back ! ha ha ha

We went out for wood to make a whelping box eh? Ummmmm...

ABOVE: whoops! We got a new airing rack, bringing our number of those to 4... much needed in this wet weather... and a rice cooker ($50 off) and some beside lamps. Never had any before. Nice ...

Got home and bought a whelping box off Trademe as the guys reckoned it was easier to do that. Suits me!

ABOVE: the whelping box... hopefully it arrives in plenty of time. Coco is due early August (5th the latest we think)

End of Day: Amanda and Andrew arrived, got dressed, fed Emily and left us to it. Minor glitch though, Andrew had left their tickets at home so he had to turn around and go back to Hamilton to get them! 2.5 hours later he got to the ball! Isn't it Cinderella who's supposed to be late? lol

Emily... very unsettled. No boobs... Will NOT take the bottle. So I fed her baby fruit and breast milk on a teaspoon... I'm sure in between the screams she got some. Very hard on a wee baby who's fully breastfed and not used to a bottle. Hopefully Amanda does not stay out too long, baby is missing her.
nite nite

Edit: Emily had a little nap and has woken up a bit happier:

ABOVE: giving Uncle Steve 'the look'!

ABOVE: nummm, nummm... finger a bit like boob...yes?

ABOVE: still giving Uncle Steve that look.

Going to try giving her a bottle again soon, she's getting grizzly again.

nite nite (AGAIN)
