Babies rule the world !

We are slowly... I think ... getting Darcy to sleep in her own bed, some nights she'll sleep right through, some nights like last night, she will wake at 2 am and stand and shout to come in with us. When we do move her in , she spreads out though !!! Jayne and I have minimal duvet and sleep on the bed edges, and often you wake to find Darcy sleeping sideways, or with her arms behind her head !! Guess who is the one in charge eh??

Baby?? or a Big Girl ??

Jayne was asking Darcy last night .... " are you a baby??? "
Darcy was saying ... " No"
so jayne said ... " what are you then ? "
Darcy said " a big girl"

Hahaha, where she learnt that i do not know !!

though she knows which is the on/off switch, and play buttons are on the dvd !!!! watch out Fireman Sam, and squeaky the mouse episode will be on loop now !!!

Singapore Sling ??

I'm sure this is what Jayne felt like last nite, instead of the sling, and bandage after her hand surgery yesterday!

And of course Darcy thought it was great !! She loves sleeves, on jumpers, coats , you name 'em, she loves sleeves, so when Jayne got home last nite, there was much pointing, and shouting "Biiig sleeve !!"

Darcy is just as clingy though which is going to proove tricky though , as jayne can nt carry darcy for a week or so, because of the stitches.

Weight Loss

This is something that I have been trying to do , for a long time, going back to my myspace days... and also i was weighed recently at 16 st. 7 !! more than i thought, but i'm 192cm high ,

Ever since turning 30, and also having Darcy i have had a stronger feeling of my own mortality, so when the doctor said i should lose some weight, i agreed and now i am attempting to do something about it, though having a 16 month old, excercise is very hard to fit in, plus i travel 2 1/2 hours a day to work and back.

So i am 3 weeks into the diet, a daily meal plan for example consists of..

breakfast = 1 + half bowls of cereal
snack = low fat yoghurt, + 2 carrots
lunch small tin of spaghetti hoops, and 4 rivetta with 2 triangles of laughing cow cheese, and a glass of fresh orange juice.
snack = fruit
dinner = normal meal, followed by yoghurt.

But do not eat after 8pm...

sounds simple, but by doing this for 3 weeks, i have lost 7 lbs !! i aim for 1 stone and see how i feel ! i do feel better already, and look slightly trimmer.

onwards and upwards !!

Clingy !!

Ever since Darcy was in hospital last week, She has gone really clingy to Jayne, I guess this is a reaction, to the hospital visit, it isn't that she is "anti-daddy" , just very "pro" mum !!

Apparantly this could be just a stage she is going through.... but it is still a little hurtful..

No matter what i do, or amount of time I spend with darcy, she still prefers time with mum... deep down I know it is a phase, but when she screams for mum, and then as soon as jayne hugs her, she is smiles again, this does hurt a little !!
