Tuesday Update

Sofia is still struggling to sleep any great amount of time at night while she can sleep like a champ during the day. Last night was no exception. We actually had to be up and at the doctor's surgery by 9:30 this morning. I set my alarm for 8am and Sofia woke me up to eat at 7:55, how's that for timing?

We spent about half an hour with our doctor, Bridget Wilkinson, and Sofia got a clean bill of health. She had to be stripped down to nothing and she was quite accepting of this only crying a little bit. We are back home and I am hoping to get a nap later today. Since the sun is shining I think we will go out for a walk in a little while and I will do my napping once the sun goes down this afternoon.

I bought Sofia a strand of Christmas lights yesterday at ASDA. We were visiting the neighbour's house the other day and she stared intently at them so I figured she might like some at home. And she does like them. Once strand of 100 cost me 8 Pounds so she better like them. I bought myself a new brown cardigan. I also stopped at Sainsbury's yesterday to do the grocery shopping. Our new grocery store, Tesco, just doesn't have a great selection. Much of the clothing at Sainsbury's was being cleared out and I managed to score a few deals for Sofia. I got three little outfits for 2 Pounds a piece. I got a cute Pooh dress and onesie for 5 Pounds. I got her a new towel set for 4 Pounds since the one I got with Terry in Charlotte this summer is starting to tear already. I picked up a few more miscellaneous things that are for her when she gets bigger. I also got myself two cardigan sweaters, one green and one black, that were on sale. I don't fit into so many of my old clothes plus I need breastfeeding accessible clothes for the winter.

Tom is off to Manchester for two nights so Sofia and I are on our own Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Friday Sofia and I have Christmas lunch to attend with workmates in Beverley. We are going to a nice pub in a little village called Lund. It should be fun.
