Some news finally!


Well I thought I would give you a quick update while I have five minutes. It has been a while so i will fill you in on the major things and try to be more up to date in futre. Since the last blog we have made a trip up to Liverpool to see all of the Bennett side of the family and friends up there too. It was nice to see everyone and Martha seemed to enjoy it. We also managed to make it to the party for Grace and Hannahs Christening and saw Catherine with Sarah there also which was nice.
Marthas last weigh in was 9lb 12oz but that was nearly two weeks ago and is due to go again on Monday and she has been guzzling loads lately so I am dreading what she is going to be- still not quite in her 3-6 month clothes yet though. Although I do have a bit of a grumble about this- there is such a jump on the length of thins from 0-3 to 3-6 months its amzing the difference. I keep buying trousers thinking they will fit her cos they look shorter than the ones we already have for 3-6 months, only to bring them home and find they are about the same!! Anyway thats my little moan,
Martha has had her second set of immunisations this afternoon and she cried a little afterwards but glad to say Mummy was better this time and I didn't cry. She has also done two weeks through the night of sleeping through after her dreamfeed at 10.00 which is really nice, what I don't understand though is why I still feel so tired- whats that all about I am getting a good 8 hours sleep!?
We have done some baby massage over the last few weeks which has been really lovely and Martha certainly enjoys it. I have had some pretty hectic weeks and this week hasn't been so manic and has been really nice enjoying spending time with Martha just us two.
Anna came to stay with us last weekend and Sarah came the weekend before and both of them enjoyed spending time with Martha and doing feeds and stuff.
Jen, Shea and Lynn are coming down tonight and are off to a baby show tomorrow and are staying till Sunday. Then next week my Mum and Dad are bringing David back to London and staying for a few days to help prepare for our new carpet- moving furniture and flooring! I am quite excited about the new carpet I must admit. Anyone ever got excited over carpet!?
David broke his upper arm when he went skiing a few weeks ago and has been in Wales with my Mum and Dad getting some tlc, although they did abandon him this week to go and sun themselves in Tenerife! (Only joking Mam and Dad!)

It was Liams birthday this week and we had a nice meal at our table which was nice rather than in front of the tv, we had decided to do it more often too.
Martha is now waking up so best be off before she throws a hissy fits wondering where I am!!!
