Before Peanut was born i thought that being home with him would be, well, being at home. In the house, not much to do, and the only place to go would be the local shopping centre to wonder around and not spend money that i don't have.
How wrong was I!!!
His (and by default my) days seem to fill up rather fast. I have to have my calendar up to date for fear of double booking him (and me).
There is the whole 'pop over to see a friend who also has an underling for catch-up', that activity i kind of expected. But there are many more activities that i had never thought of and had never been exposed to pre-parenthood. Mind you if i had of been hanging out at these activities i would probably had the cops called on me.
To give you an example of what our week this week looks like, here is what is in the calendar -
Monday: Meet with other mums and bubs from our mothers group at the baby health centre to discuss setting up a baby play group (and of course catch-up in general)
Tuesday: Go to M34b4LL's work so the "groaning uteruses" can coo over Peanut and wish they could have another baby
Go to Eastland shopping centre to say hi to person who normally works at Local Starbucks but is doing a shift there, and buy some of the cute bonds socks that look like sneakers that they did not have at the local shopping centre
Be at the council building by 6.00pm to get the four month immunisation done (the closer to 6.00pm we get there the less time we have to wait in the queue)
Wednesday: Drive to Collingwood to have lunch with Auntie Lulu and her friend and her friend's bub.
Thursday: Four month check-up at the baby health centre
Attend the "story time for tiny tots" session at the local library (Peanut loves this, we sing songs and get to try and eat the books)
Friday: Nursery swimming class, for ages three to twelve months.
Friend coming over with for lunch to chat about people we know and reassure me that i am not being a total spazz of a mother
So that is the week this week - calendar full. And next week? Still a couple of days free, but that will change soon enough i think.

Now, now Reggie ... the plural of uterus is uteruses (or uteri if you want to stick closer to the Latin), there are absolutely no grounds for your use of the greengrocer's apostrophe.
And "friends bub" requires a posessive apostrophe, you've applied what I like to refer to as the "anti-greengrocer's apostrophe".
'Dear Auntie' Lu'lu'
