Killer Butterflies

Another long day of motherhood...will I ever be less exhausted?

Met with 3 friends down in Mooncoin for another walk to the river...between us we had 7 kids on the walk with us!! Aine learned how to blow in and play a toy harmonica that her friend Avalyn had...and she didn't want to give it back!! Guess that sharing concept will come along at some point? I hope so.

We all took a walk down to the local public health nurse as well...I got Aisling weighed...she is weighing in at a healthy 13 lbs 11 oz at 9 weeks. She has been fussy since the afternoon...I'm pretty lucky as she isn't often fussy. I finally got her calmed and off to sleep...after quite a lot of cuddling :-)

Aine went down for a nap when we came home from our walk. 15 minutes later she was screaming and crying, shouting "bee" at the top of her lungs. I ran in and saw a beautiful butterfly that had landed in her cot... she was terrified of it!! I had to rescue her from the "bee" (she calls all bugs, flying or not, "bees") and she wouldn't go back in her cot again till tonight! When killer butterflies attack!! She was truly upset though, poor thing!

Aine is strange. She has hard words like "corn flakes" and "pizza" in her repertoire, but she just started saying "up" and "out" weird.

I haven't had one minute to myself to rest or relax today, so I'm going to close this now and go jump in our hot tub to drown my sorrows, instead of food...

Oh yeah...am doing well today...have kept within Weight Watcher points and even have some left for a midnight snack...cool.
