- Had a wonderful bank holiday with my family. Because of sheer tiredness we haven't been going anywhere far which means we haven't been to visit loved ones but we've been spending time together and its good. It was the first of the family birthdays this weekend which is fab as it always falls on the first May bank Holiday.
- Baby's eczema is no longer causing sleepless nights.. His skinstill itches which cuts the skin from time to time. Skin splits around the ears and it is this area which he rubs when he is tired as well as the cheeks. A mom and childminder recommened Allergenics, a non steroidal ointment made entirely out of natural products available at Holland and Barretts. It has Shea butter as a base, a substance which I'm familiar with. So far, great. My main feat is to now keep the skin well moisturised. The only areas affected are the cheeks, ears, inside crease of elbows and upper thighs. The rest of the skin is beautiful and naturally moist which leads me to believe inability to cool down in these areas is the main culprit of the eczema.
- Baby now 11 months and I love babies from 8 months til the time they begin to walk as it is a magical time where they communicate with you in some beautiful ways. My son stares at me if he hasn't seen me for a while and soemtimes if I look at him from afar he gives me a knowing smile. He dances to the music of the B&Q advert on the TV and has been singing for some time now. He also communicates by humming. eg if I call his name he says a high pitched ""hmmmm?".
- Enjoying adult conversation at work.
Lows
- I wrote out an extensive descriptive list of how a cocktail of a bad period, feelings of inadequacy, pestered by my eldest for food and drink ( I call it being a short order chef!), longer but unrestful sleep; pressures at work etc were the reason behind feeling low . But I pressed something on the laptop and it deleted it!!! Typical! Maybe you weren't meant to see my ranting in detail!!!
So I suppose I'm being forced to "accentuate the positive".
