Week 10

Charlotte is 10 weeks today.  She has had a minor cough which has subsided some today.  We are leaving for the US on Sunday and I am a bit nervous about all that travel time with Charlotte.  My 'friends' on the internet suggest it should be fine, she should sleep through but I realize now that I cannot trust the norms anymore with Charlotte.  Plus I will travel with at least 7 bottles - yikes!  Here is to hoping for no travel delays. 

Day 3 of full time motherhood is still going well - perhaps I am in the honeymoon period.  I am very busy this week with preparations prior to my travels (e.g. getting my hair cut).  I made the mistake of reading while in a taxi and nursed a wicked headache for most of the afternoon.

We have to move out of our house as we need to downsize as we plan to spend more time in the US.  I am sad about moving house as we got married, Matt started his business... and Charlotte was born in this house.  But we will have to leave it at some point.  Blah - I just hate moving.  The only upside to moving (every 2 to 3 years for me since 2004) is that I purge my stuff more than if I never moved.  I still have a lot of stuff (the apple doesn't fall far from the, ahem, maternal tree) but a lot less than if I never moved.

Here are some pics from this week:
