It’s been a pretty full on week with Xmas parties and other events, so we haven’t updated for the past week…oops!
Sophie has been pretty good for the last week apart from a screaming match on Monday night when I put her to bed! So for the next six nights I have got Brad to put her to bed for her last sleep of the day and wonders of wonders she has gone straight to sleep – what a daddy’s girl! For the past week she has had red rosy checks and a cut gum where it seems a tooth is trying to sprout – but everyday we check and it still hasn’t come through, so she’s been a bit grizzly, but gorgeous all the same.
Wednesday night was Brads work dinner and drinks, so of course he let his hair down and stumbled in the door at 1.30am a bit the worse for wear! I think it was a very slow day for him at work the next day, but at least everyone else he works with was in the same boat. My work had their Xmas party on the Thursday day/night and very kindly invited me even though I am on maternity leave. Brad came home from work early for me so I could get there at 4pm – but as all my work mates had started the party at midday they were all pretty drunk by the time I arrived, so of course I had some catching up to do! It didn’t take me long and I was ready to come home by 10pm but am happy to report that I was the last one standing! Friday for me was a pretty slow day and of course Sophie was full of beans and ready to go at 6am.
Saturday we went out and bought our Xmas tree. Usually we don’t bother with all the palaver of Xmas, but now that Sophie is here it’s all the more exciting. It took us most of the day driving out to the middle of nowhere to pick the perfect living tree and then buying the decorations that we didn’t have time to actually get any presents to put under it - leaving it a bit late I know, but we spent Sunday at a great toy shop looking around at all the educational toys that will turn our Sophie into a top notch surgeon (a plastic surgeon would be good cause then mummy could get free facelifts when she gets older!). So without going overboard, we purchased a few good gifts for her that we will probably play with more than her, while she finds the wrapping paper and boxes much more fun.
So while we have had a lovely week and the weather in Auckland has been beautiful, proving that summer is slowly on its way, I can’t same the same for our bloody car. Today I was invited to go to a baby shower and got all organized and ready to go and hello the alarm on the car wouldn’t turn off! After half an hour of pulling the alarm apart and swearing at the car we found out that the bloody thing is all computer chipped and doesn’t work on batteries, so off to the local key cutting place only to be told they would need to reprogramme it at a cost of $100 and that we then need to follow these very specific instructions to ‘introduce’ the new key to the car. So to cut a long story short (as it is confusing and goes on for a while) we can’t use the new key without using the old key but we can’t use the old key because its broken and so is the only lock into the car! Bloody technology!
