Ok, so we went to look at a possible car today. It's hard to have Baby Girl Adventures without a suitable vehicle and the one we have now is just too small to get kit in so we can go away from home. And we have trips we need to make. Car was beautiful, very well looked after and all the things we need.
But Baby Girls car seat did not fit in it. And she isn't going to be ready for the next one for some time. She may be 8 months old, but she only weighs about 14lbs, and needs to weigh 20 before she can have a front facing car seat. We may be here some time.... The only other option is to fix her current car seat into the front passenger seat until she gets to that weight..but who knows how long that will take. She's not even double her birth weight yet.
Nor will she be anytime soon if she doesn't eat!! The snot is still present so there hasn't been much eating going on and she's been very bitey today. I think that she's teething busily again and that the ongoing "cold" might be part of that pattern. There's been a lot of dribble. Hmm..perhaps the stuff I gave her isn't stimulating to the gums enough? She ate most of a cold sausage at lunchtime, and bit on the crust of my toast in the morning..... I think we need to start letting her loose with things a bit more foodwise but until I can stop pumping I don't have time to cook the way I would like to for that to happen. She is also very clingy and tired...nights are sucking big time at the moment. The last two none of us have slept that much. I am exhausted, my dh is exhausted too (and has to be at work at 0730 in the morning tomorrow, so I am going to be prepping like a LOON in a minute so that we are ready tonight for tomorrow). I don't know what to do with our precious girl! So many things we need to sort out for her...sleeping arrangements, physical space, need to book development check.... aaaargh!!
We need more time, and the spare hands of anyone available. Thanks!! xxx
