bits n bobs

Lots of things have been happening this week, but nothing substantial enough to write a blog post about, so i thought i'd lump them all together in this bits n bobs post!

Firstly, i can cross off something else on my 101 list, because while i was waiting for my wedding dress fitting appointment yesterday i wandered round town for a bit and went into one of the department stores and they had those massage chairs in which you can try out, so i did! It was slightly weird at first and one of the settings i didn't like cos it moved around too quick, but once i found a good setting it was lovely. Really expensive chairs though and not worth the money in my opinion, especially when you have a Sir who gives even better massages for free!

So as i already mentioned, i had my first fitting for the wedding dress yesterday, and it was even more beautiful than i remembered it being. It fitted really well, except for it was a little bit tight round my bewbies, but since i stopped breastfeeding they have gradually been shrinking so we are hoping they will shrink a lil bit more to fit in the dress. i still have a couple more fittings before the wedding so the dress can be altered if it needs to. They showed me the bridesmaids and flower girl dresses too and they are very pretty - their fittings are in a few weeks' time.

Talking of bewbies, which i kind of was..... since stopping breastfeeding Poppy Sir has started being rough with them again, and i'm finding that they're even more sensitive than they used to be, but in a good way. Once He starts manhandling them i don't want Him to stop and it makes me go all gooey and mushy and sooooo needy - *blush*.

Hmmm what else? Oh, i know! We had the first 'play date' round our house on Friday - since the postnatal support group has finished some of us mums agreed to carry on getting together, and it was our turn to host it. Because it was also Red Nose day we held a red nose party, where everyone had to wear red and we made red nose cakes and iced biscuits to eat and sell. The babies just enjoyed getting messy but us mums had a great time chatting and laughing and eating too! And speaking of babies - Poppy is developing so fast! She can say/sign a total of 12 words now and she is able to squirm on her tummy to get round the place, pretty fast too. If i start her off she will crawl for a few paces before stopping and sitting back, which is progress from before, so soon we think she will be crawling round by herself. She loves books, baths, music and animals, is very inquisitive and alert and is such a happy contented little girl :)

One more thing to write about in this hodge-podge. Sir said that as a result of me beating the pnd and getting to move my 'tackling big tasks' training to the completed section, He would buy me a little something as a reward. It turned out to be a special 'angel worry stone' which is a small clear glass stone with a purple angel shape inside. i can carry it round with me to remind me that Joshua is always with me and every night before i go to sleep i am to whisper all my worries to the stone, and my special angel will work on them whilst i sleep peacefully - nice idea huh?

Hope you enjoyed that little libby life update, proper posts to follow this week!
