I just had 6 and a 1/2 hours sleep in a row.
I panicked and thought the baby was dead, so I got up.
It isn't.
Cupcake (the baby) is just worn out from partying until 1am.
Having a baby has given me a whole new set of concerns.
At top of my list is:
1. Is baby enjoying the purple toy octopus hanging from it's crib? Further, can baby tell that it is a sea creature even though baby has not seen the sea? Should we go to the beach today even though it is raining, so as to give Cupcake perspective? Or would taking her to a fishmonger suffice? I need some tuna for tea anyway.
2. Does baby mind wearing boys clothes? Even when people comment on what a beautiful boy she is?
Refer yesterday.
Lady in shop 'Oh what a beautiful boy' (Cupcake had an electric blue singlet on)
Me: 'It's a girl'
Lady in shop 'Oh I couldn't tell, she doesn't have her eyes open'
Me: 'I usually check their pants to see what they are, not their eyes'
3. What happens if baby does not sit still long enough to have their nails clipped? Do we enter the Guinness World Book of Records in a few years' time for longest set of baby nails? And how does one invent categories to enter anyway?
Ooh I just sneezed and did not pee myself.
I think this is going to be a good day.

LOL that's brilliant.
My children all got dressed in boys/girls clothes at that age- sometimes it still happens.
Arden was dressed in my pinnafore from St Francis by Willow about a month ago and was mistaken as a girl all afternoon. Dressing as a fairy for the day, also confuses quite a few people. (He normally never gets mistaken for a girl, unlike Gabriel who was constantly mistaken for a girl- this I could never figure out, as Gabriel spent the first 8yrs or so of his life looking very messy, unlike Arden who is usually tidy.) Arden also has a very lovely pair of pink bow gumboots.
