124 + 20 Weeks

The important thing about this week is that tomorrow Jeffrey and I are going camping for three days at Booderee National Park!  Mum and Geoff are coming here to our house to stay with the kids, and Jeffrey and I are taking off for the first time in almost three years.  I am nervous of camping, and really nervous to leave Carmen.  Little Arley will be fine, but Carmie is very clingy to me these days.  Apparently today at school she was sitting off by herself crying, a couple of times.  She wouldn't tell them why she was sad.  She told me later that she "was crying for Mummy".  I hate thinking of her like that.  They tell me at her school that she is very quiet.  So different from the fire cracker that we live with.  They said she seems happy there though, but it makes me worry.

Anyway, we had a good week this week.  We had some rainy weather and some lovely weather, a trip to the play cafe, a trip to the farm, and a trip to the beach (albeit a quick one, Carmen is still scared of the waves).  Arley has now gone four nights in a row without a night feeding, so I think we are done with that, which is very exciting!  He loves his solid food, and seems to be really porking up.  He has been rolling from his back to his tummy, and all in all, he is a very smiley happy baby.
