the weekend was great. i was scared to be on my own to start with but then i settled down. it was my nans birthday on friday so we got there in the afternoon and went out for a meal in the evening. i was so tired from the journey i left cj's food at the hotel by mistake. mum was trying to calm me down but my nan, not thinking, said "how could you forget such a silly thing". not helpful. the waitress was really helpful and said we could have some veg and gravy from the carvery at no charge. he ate a bowlful of brocoli, cauliflower cheese, cabbage and mashed swede. then nan ordered ice cream for pudding but she only wanted a small one coz shes diabetic. we said whatever she didnt eat cj would have, but the waitress, who had taken a shine to cj, brought out his own portion of Mr Whippy ice cream with chocolate flakes on top. he ate all that too.
saturday morning i tucked into bacon, fried egg, beans, toast and prunes. it was lovely. mum took cj for me while i had a shower and got ready to go to nans house. we went out for lunch in pevensey, which was nice. i had roast beef followed by rhubarb crumble and custard. we went back to nans and had birthday cake and champagne. i had ham sandwiches for tea. we played cards in the evening then went back to the hotel.
nan was doing lunch on sunday so we werent allowed much for breakfast lol. i had prunes, fried egg and fried mushrooms....lovely. got to nans at 11.30, had roast beef at 12.30, followed by raspberry trifle. we left for home at 2.30 and got home last night. it did me good to get away but i missed stuart, and my own bed. cj settled well after the travelling, but now screams every time he goes in his car seat in case he's going on a long trip again.
this morning i woke up at 8.15 and realised stuart was still in bed. he should have left at 6.30 so i woke him up. cj woke up too so i got him his bottle. so far hes been quite relaxed so i hope ill have a good day.

cj slept thru again last night. i feel a bit more relaxed now im on the tablets. im not getting so many thoughts now. libby, the health visitor came today. she was on time, which was nice. we got on really well. cj had his 9 month check, was weighed and measured. hes only put a couple of pounds on this month but she said thats coz hes really active. she said he was developing well for his age so im dead chuffed. hes just having his nap now so i had lunch for the first time in a while. very nutritious too-NOT!! lol i had pancakes from a packet, precooked, with black cherry pie filling. it still counts as fruit lol

Sounds like everything is going well, that's great. You've just made me drool talking about pancakes. I love em, especially hot with maple syrup. It's so true isn't it that you only start thinking like this when you're on a diet, lol!!

the health visitor said i can get him on a normal diet now, as long as theres no added salt or un-natural sugars. im going shopping with mum in a bit to stock up on things. he loves fruit and veg which is handy lol. i can also now give him whole cows milk to drink as well as in cooking. i mixed his cereal with some this morning and he liked it. she said i can get a big box of ready brek too to save money. also lots of meat, fish and eggs. cj slept thru again last night. he went to bed at 8pm and slept til 6am. stuart was going to work and cj wanted a cuddle from him so he held his arms up! then when stuart had left, he went back to sleep til 9.30.

took cj swimming this morning, he was worn out bless him. theres a special session at the local pool where an instructor gets in the water with us, we sing songs with actions, then get some toys out, then do some floating, splashing and jumping in off the side. mum took me out to lunch afterwards. when i got home, stuart had tidied the whole flat, and said he was taking me to see a film. stuarts mum looked after cj for us. we saw underworld evolution. it was great!
