Sofia came with me for dress shopping after Mike and I had researched places that might have a dress suitable for a gala. The idea was to just have a look to see if there was any dresses that were worth going back a second time to try on. I mean, it’s hard to try on dresses with a baby strapped to you – and I didn’t think she’d be happy in the pram or that the pram would fit in the stores. In the first store I hit the sales women said; “I’m happy to have a hold if you find anything you’d like to try on”. I answered; “Are you sure?” in disbelief, and she replied; “oh yes please!” ha ha. So I tried on 5 dresses. One I liked and two I really liked. One of them was more bridesmaid/ summer dress, but the other one was very classic/ vintage yet modern. I thought this is the dress! It is blueish red lacy on top of red mermaid shaped dress (Ok so I’m terrible at explaining how dresses look, but I will include a photo later). BUT there is always the nagging feeling, maybe there is a better one? This is only the first store, and as I am in the neighbourhood of the other store I decided to go to that one as well. Just a lot of bling, not really my style – either bride, bridesmaid or pageant dresses. I had sent a picture of the dress to Mike to see if he liked it and he did… so I went back to buy it. Poor Sofia… she was soooo tired and trying to sleep and I kept taking her in and out of the car seat. She slept all the way back home, and a bit more at home.
She is becoming very difficult to get to sleep during the day however, she screams until I pick her up. It doesn’t matter how many times I pick her up and put her back down she still screams :(. She wants the boob and nothing else will do… I tried for about an hour this afternoon and I had to feed her because it was time to feed her again so she could have been screaming then because she was hungry. I must be doing something wrong, but I’m not sure what :(. If she is this dependent of the boob to sleep now, won’t it just get worse as she gets older?
Mike had to work late and wasn’t home until 7.15pm, so I had to put her to bed myself. I am happy to say that went really well, but I am now exhausted and will be going to bed in about 30min… I just need to unwind a bit…

Gleder meg til å se kjolen. Og få vite hva dere skal…..
Sofia klarer nok komme inn i en rytme etterhvert. Kan vre hun trenger puppen for å sove når hun er ekstra sliten. Barn har alltid problemer med å sove hvis de blir overtrøtte 🙂

There are lovely people in shops…….. Well done, she held Sofia, who would not do that? …she will not forever be on the boobs, don’t worry….. It might be sometimes too much going on, and she has to settle again…..?

Takk kjaere mor :). Synes kjolen ser rimelig flott ut – digger broderiet i den… synes den ser veldig klassisk elegant ut 🙂
Yes Claire, she needs the boob when she is over-tired and over-stimulated… Feels good to be able to help one way or another.
