A bit of a dull day today weather-wise, but quite refreshing. Went out for a walk with Jessica in the pram this afternoon but only down to the post office and local supermarket, so not that much fresh air for Jessica unfortunately. I had a bit more exercise myself earlier in the day – Ian’s Mum came over to babysit Jessica while I walked over to my post-natal Pilates class in Reigate. As I missed out on the whole class last week, I thought it was best not to take any chances… Also, as it had been a little while since Jessica and her farmor saw each other, I was hoping everyone would enjoy the arrangement.
And when I got back they seemed to have had a good time together. Jessica had been little bit cranky in the morning, possibly due to a slightly restless night – the night previous she slept through from 10pm to 6.15am (!) but last night she woke up for a feed at around 3am and was tossing and turning a bit in her cot from around 5am – but when she saw her farmor she cheered right up! Jessica isn’t yet at that age when only Mum will do – to be brutally realistic about it, she probably doesn’t mind much at the mo who’s feeding, burping and cuddling her, as long as someone does…! But I’m sure she still recognises people, voices and smells. And she’ll start having her preferences sooner than we know it.
