Wow I’ve got to 20,000 hits! I made this entry on June 4th about making it to the 15,000 mark. That’s 5,000 hits in 86 days or just under 60 per day!
I survived Saturday!
Now you may think this is no big deal but this Saturday was no ordinary one, no siree bob! Yesterday was my send-vic-off-for-12-hours-and-max-will-bloody-well-drink-formula-out-of-a-bottle-if-it-damn-well-kills-me Saturday
I’ve thought for a while that the only way to get Max to drink from a bottle/tippee cup/whatever is to send Vic out for a long time. Not days you understand but more than 3 or 4 hours that we’ve done in the past and we agreed that yesterday was to be that time.
Max awoke at about 07:00 and had his normal morning boobie feed (lucky!) Vic then was dressed and out of the house before 09:00 to meet her Mum in town while I gave Max his breakfast and it was just the two of us……..alone………….
Without going into all the details the day was great! Max, even though he got pretty damn stroppy at times, took enough from a bottle so that I didn’t feel like he was going to get dehydrated. Out of the 20oz (500ml) I made up during the day he had probably 15-16oz (400ml) of it. Not a huge amount but that along with carrot and parsnip for lunch seemed to do the trick. So much so that when Max and I drove out to the MIL’s place at 19:00 he wasn’t starving hungry. In fact he was with Vic for about 30 mins before he wanted a feed!
So all in all a very enjoyable day spent with my son
PS: Thanks to my Mum for popping in to make sure that we were OK and Larry for calling. Mum and I had a nice walk to a local cafe for a coffee which killed an hour and Max was fine until about 5 mins from home 
Max? No – me at 7 months! My Mum sent this through last week – at least this shows that the milkman isn’t Max’s father! lol!
It’s been almost a week and a lot has happened (although it’s probably all boring for anyone but us )
The weekend was busy with a friend around for dinner on Friday nite. I finished a quick-start, week-long diet that night (14 lbs lost!) as well so no nice pasta dinner for me 🙁 Saturday we visited the same friend at her place and I checked all her fuses (one had blown and they are those old wired type and too far up the wall for her to reach safely) That night we had the 30th birthday party of a friend Larry (Laraine) and the theme was 70’s A great time was had with some truly atrocious clothing and pretty scary music during the night!
We got home about 00:30 and as Max hadn’t had a feed all night we got him up to feed him and got to bed about 02:00. 07:00 and it was up again to feed the little monster and then out for brunch at a new cafe that has opened up just down the road. Kai in the Bay was a huge disappointment with coffee very mediocre and the food overpriced for the small portions offered. It’s a shame really as the location is great and it’s within easy walking distance 🙁 Oh well, you live and learn……
After postponing last week, Deb and I got together on Tuesday morning for a coffee. She’s a lovely lady and conversation covered all sorts of topics from pMachine to blogging to life in Wellington to babies, birth and bottle feeding. A nice time and hopefully it’ll happen again at some stage.
On the Max front the big news is that he’s started to pull himself up onto his knees when he’s in his cot! Leave him sitting there and he’ll be up and smiling over the rail in no time
Job wise I had a second, face-to-face interview today with a large international company – yay! Unfortunately I think I could have done a lot better – boo! I’ll hopefully get some feedback in the next day or two……….
I use it mainly for my own amusement but thought that I would let you know that I have increased the number of lines used in the quote of the the day section on the left by about 300% I thought they were repeating a bit too often
Well another 104 emails generated by the W32.Sobig.F@mm virus in my inbox overnight 🙁 The funny thing is they only start coming in about 19:00 local time so that must be when PC’s get turned on either in the US or UK.
It is now officially the fastest spreading virus ever! so that makes me feel a bit better The one good thing about the ones received last night is that they all had the payload stripped so instead of having 104 emails @ 72KB each I had 104 emails @ 1KB each – much better!
Also I’m off to meet Deb in town for a coffee today My first fellow blogger that I’ll get to meet face to face!
You know that sound that old people make when they are sucking and slurping on their false teeth?
That’s exactly the sound that Max has started to make as he experiments with his teeth lol!
