Well tomorrow starts the 4 day long weekend for Easter! It will be nice to spend the time with my little family of Gracie, Duane & I! We are going to go for a picnic tomorrow and then maybe a BBQ at Lisa’s house! Saturday Duane will be playing golf in the afternoon whilst Gracie and I go Easter egg shopping! We are not going to get any chocolate for Gracie….maybe just some yoghurt frogs! That doesn’t mean that we miss out though…Duane wants Guirlein and I want Lindt….Yummo!

Gracie seems to have a reaction every time she eats a lot of citrus fruit. She has a urine scold and it burns her bum! She had it awhile ago after a big feed of Pineapple and then again the other day after an orange. The other night she was up for about 2 hours crying and not wanting to put her bum down. She was trying to sleep on her head…kinda in the dog yoga pose!! I thought that maybe she had done a poo so I checked her nappy and there was nothing It wasn’t until the next morning that I realized that she had a really bad scald! Poor little poppet! It seems to be getting better now with lots of Nappy off time and cream.

She is being incredibly cute though. She loves feeding her dolly her water cup. And then tonight she dragged over the pink tri pillow (the one I always breast fed her on), she layed it on her lap and then fed her dolly the milk from her cup! She still seems fascinated by my boobs when she sees them but hasn’t tried to feed again!

We went to 2 different playgroups this week. The first one was in Nerang on Tuesday and the second was at Mermaid Waters. I don’t’ think that we will be going to the Nerang one again….a few to many ferals! It’s a shame because it is fairly small and organized quite well but I didn’t really like how a few of the mothers treated there kids. The spoke quite nastily to them and I really don’t want Gracie around that. The other one was good but very big. I think we might try the other one at the PCYC in Nerang and then if that’s no good I’ll go with Jenni (a mothers group Mum) on Thursday to the one in Mudgeeraba. Gracie really enjoys playing with all the other kids. She usually runs off and joins in with whatever they are doing. She especially loves playing with the older kids!

I had a few tummy pains the other night. I think that they might have been stretching pains because they were on both sides of my stomach. Some days I feel really big and heavy and then others I don’t feel big at all!
