Well it’s Easter Sunday and poor Gracie didn’t even get to eat any chocolate today! We are being mean parents and have decided not to give her any for a while yet! I really wanted to get some yoghurt frogs for her but couldn’t find them anywhere! Duane and I each got a small present. I got a box of tiny humpty dumpty’s and Duane got a Guerlein egg with 2 choc bars!

We had breakfast here this morning with Duane’s parents. Yummy omelets! Then just spent the rest of the day laying around playing with Gracie…in between trips to the spa!

Gracie has also gone down to 1 sleep each day! She was having 2 up until about a week ago but then she was finding it hard to go to sleep at her normal time! Some night she wasn’t going to bed until about 8.30….and that is just way toooooo late for us considering I go to bed just after that! So we have been on project “keep Gracie awake until at least 10.30’! She has only been sleeping for about 1 ½ hours but by about 6pm she is exhausted and goes to bed without a fuss. However she has been waking at about 5.30….I am hoping that she will start to stretch this out!! It’s not too bad I guess…she lets me sleep longer and just plays and dozes in our bed!

Also for a while now she has been having conversations on her play mobile! It’s so cute to watch. She says hello and then talks in her a little jibber…goes silent for a bit as if she is listening to what the other person is saying. She then jibbers again and sometimes acts like she is laughing at what they are saying. It is so cute...I really should try and video it! I guess she must copy us on the phone…she is such a little mimicker!! Also yesterday she came out with lipstick all around her mouth! She had got into the top drawer in the bathroom and had found my (probably only!!) lipstick! She even let me take a photo of her with a trampy look on her face!!

Blobby #2 is kicking a lot lately. Also I am feeling lots of tightness and also lots of rolling! I couldn’t find the heartbeat the other day but it seems he had moved to the other side! Duane also said that I am starting to snore a lot…especially when I am lying on my back! I know that I shouldn’t do this but somehow I end up on my back overnight and then wake up really sore the next day!
