Mother's Day

Bit late I know, but when do I have time to do anything anymore?

So, how was my first Mother's Day? Fabulous.

In the morning (not too early) Bayli climbed into bed with Scott and I for a cuddle. While we were having our morning cuddle she gave me the present she picked out on her very own (Scott assures me it's true). I was very impressed that she thought to get me a super-duper-u-beaut-top-of-the-range paper trimmer for my scrapbooking. (Not sure when I'll get time to use it now is the only thing :P)

After I got my present Scott headed off to the kitchen to make his Super-Sunday-Breakfast (incidentally, he hasn't made this for me since before we were married). Mum had come to stay for the weekend so she joined us on the deck for a terrific Mother's Day breakfast.

Not long after breakie Scott's folks arrived. We then had more present opening. I was lucky enough to get two more presents, one from Scott -- a new jaffle maker so I can make more pies -- and one from Mum -- two tops, some new shower sponge thingys and some scrapbooking paper. We gave our presents to our mothers too. I think their favourites were the photos of Scott/Bayli for his mum and Me/Bayli for mine, along with the mini photo books I had made for them with photos of them with Bayli. So it seems this Mother's Day was all about Bayli!!

I suppose I may as well fill you in on the happenings since then...

The renovations are coming along. The new study has been completed (currently used as the nursery though while Bayli is so young), and the lounge room is sans wardrobe. It has already made a huge difference without the wardrobe in the room, it looks much bigger. Not an awful lot left to do in this room now either, just the fiddly bits which usually take just as long as the main jobs. We've been looking at paint colours too and have narrowed it down to a few favourites.

Bayli still has some jaundice. This had us sent off to the doctors last week to get blood tests to check on her liver function. This was HORRIBLE!! They needed to get enough blood for three small vials and then two other small test tube type thingys and the only way they can get it is to cut her foot and squeeze it out drop by drop. She screamed the whole time. Her levels came back high from this first test so we had to go back on Monday for another round of tests. Not quite as bad this time, they didn't need as much blood and she only screamed most of the time. Found out yesterday that the levels have dropped slightly so we get to go back for another go in a few weeks to check that they're still going down. We're just grateful that it doesn't seem to be too serious.

Ooh, and she's having trouble getting rid of her wind. Normally we could get something from the chemist to help with this (have tried everything else) but with her liver tests not quite right we can't give her any. So it's fun for everyone when she's got wind pain. I just hope she gets through it before she gets too used to being held so much or it's going to be very hard to break this habit.

And that's all
