Did the lazy 6km run last night. 34min is OK for me
Reality check about 3am this morning. Aghhhhh what are we gonna do??? We are having a second baby and we are just not ready. Ok, conduct a quick revision of what is causing these thoughts. Hmmmm, nothing immediate comes to mind. Well perhaps the money side of things could be a bit (read, a lot) better but apart from that things are looking quite good. Finishing off all of those last jobs. Today included Windexing more windows and clearing a walkway from my side of the bed so that in the middle of the night I don’t stumble with a baby or toddler in my arms.
Went to get a quote for setting up a toddler seat in the car as well as changing the baby seat back to a basinet style. Unfortunately my vehicle was just before the compulsory installation of baby seat anchors so I have to get an anchor installed as well. After 15 minutes of waiting I had already decided not to go with these guys as they obviously did not know what they were doing and rang up Littles from Blacktown who installed our last anchor point & seat. Fortunately they were close by and could do the job today. $300 later but feeling a whole lot more confident about the whole situation both bassinet and toddler seat were installed. Thanks mum for your kind donation!
There must be a stage in life where everyone thinks about a second/third job and then has to have a quick look at what you are qualified for. Now my dad, being a truck driver into his mid 60’s, is pretty lucky that way as there is always someone that wants a long haul driver but that would kind of defeat the purpose of taking 3 months leave if I had to be away for a few days & nights. Anyhow, enough of that sort of thinking. Number 2 baby is on the way and from all reports it is going to be ‘busy’!
Went through a box of Kaelan’s memorabilia today and it was great to feel the joys that particular items brought back. 2 years is not that long a time. My favourite was definitely the umbilical cord clamp which was the one still attached to him after I cut the umbilical cord. Although he was already separated from the placenta at that stage. Too many nervous dads dropping medical instruments for anything else to occur these days.
Home made hamburgers and pre frozen chips for dinner.
No more major jobs to do except :Fix the side gate
Clear out the medicine cabinet
Clear out the bottle cupboard
Tidy up the man-cupboard
