Middle Class Mothering




It was only a few days ago when I last met up with my NCT group. I love the fact we have all stayed in contact but had to have a private giggle.

A small group of women sit drinking coffee and juggling babies, bottles and nappies. The Skip Hop changing bags line the floor and clutttering up the hallway are identical Quinny pushchairs. In between the feeding, playing and hoping that our baby isnt the one screaming this week, we discuss the benefits of Baby Led Weaning and Baby Gap socks. We all get the same guilt trips and im sure we all miss being US. However we seem to have morphed into the middle class mum- we are one of the same and it does make me grin :-)

Ethan is awesome, smiling and giggling at anyone who cares to smile at him. He is eating for England and is getting really active, wriggling and rolling his way around the playmat etc. He loves his hugs and SCREAMS if I go out the rrom. His latest habit is to sit happily with Papa until I come in the room then SCREAMS til I cuddle him. Little s*d LOL!

He has also had four sleep throughs from 10am ti 7am ish which is fab... these nights however are usually followed by a night of waking at least twice and screaming.. dunno why but he will always go back to sleep after a feed but I dont want that to become habit!

Anyway- off on Thursday for our first holiday to sunny SA.... wish me luck!
