Sunshine

28 Weeks - but who's counting?

Today is daylight savings for NZ (thank goodness!!! I'm really not a fan of the Palmerston North winters....at all!) The gov't decieded that NZ need 4 extra weeks of summer sunlight, so this year they have started daylight savings 2 weeks ahead of schedule. It makes it so much nicer to wake up to a warm, sunny house and before we know it the evening BBQ season will be upon us - yay!

Nothing too eventful has happened this week except that I got a stomach bug and was in bed for 2 days unable to eat anything. That was pretty miserable. Of course I read up everything in our baby books to make sure it wasn't someother baby complication thing, but after visiting our Dr, I was reassured that with time it would go away. The thing about being sick with a baby is that you are afraid to take any over the counter meds...so you basically have to wait it out. When I regained my health, James and I went down to Welly to visit Karyln, Moi (it was his B-day) and baby Jaycob - who looked about the same size as last week, but seemed to be doing better :-).

We also bought our next big ticket item....a cot (crib) for the baby. It's perfect, exactly the kind we were looking for. I had been searching the internet for weeks to find a used one at a good price, and lo and behold we found one. Not only is it in great condition, but it was also very inexpensive - a little victory for us. More money to spend now on the mattress, change table/drawers, bouncer, rocking chair.....
