I am off the strict-ish bedrest schedule and under much more manageable 'take it easy' orders. I still lay down and sit a fair bit, but I now have more freedom in my playing with Emily and am managing the odd bit of tidying up around the place! The baby is kicking gently and quite active.
EMILY currently has a fascination with zippers and loves to open and close any zipper she can get her hands on. She even manages the stiff ones quite well! She's loving climbing the stairs via her bumshuffle technique (then sliding down on her bottom - ouch!) and is getting very good at pulling herself to standing in one swift motion. Today she walked (shuffled on her feet) a little ways along the floor, holding onto the couch for support. Go, Emily! Her morning nap time is starting later these days, which has come as quite a surprise because for so long she has napped from 8am - 9.30am -- we had gotten quite used to it!
JON is quite recovered from his jetlag and proving an excellent ally in helping me to take things easy -- doing all the things that I shouldn't and even many that I could do. (What a man!). He goes away on Sunday for a week in Manila. While he is gone, Ms Lanh will come and help us again in the evenings/early mornings when Mrs Hien doesn't work.
OUR FAMILY is loving our family dates, when we go somewhere for lunch or afternoon tea sometime on the weekend. And Jon and I continue to enjoy our Saturday morning brekky dates at a lovely hotel nearby.
