ROBERT'S ROOM

After many discussions on where to put what and when, we finally moved the furniture around in our livingroom/Robert's future bedroom and started putting his stuff where it will be and moved stuff out that will go somewherelse. It's all a big mess in the whole house as I still have a mountain of ironing to do and I have still to finish the drawers of the piece of furniture I've been working on instead of continuing with the old door, also I did not have yet time to make a picture of the other night table, but it can wait. So I've been doing this piece of furniture for Robert's bedroom and it will be not only his changing table but his personal storage, for all his clothes, towels etc...

Here is the result so far.

It's already in the room acting as changing tabel, since i miss some screws for the drawer handles and therefore I'll have to wait to finish all when I've got them I also worked on this lovely (and full of holes) coat hanger that is from the spare house (the one that needs restored). It was a must keep for me, an antique of the house that has its own hooks on the wall since ages ago.

THE DOOR'S TURN


After finishing the other night table (picture will follow in the next post) we started together (my Love and I) on the antique next door door (part of the house that needs done up), this is the result after stripping the paint and sanding so far...

FIRST VACCINATIONS

Robert the day before the vaccinations


I must say I did not think it would have been like this...
Since my fiancee' has no simpathy for needles I was the one that had to keep our little Robert still by holding his legs down on the doctor's table...
Up until just a second before the injection he was smiling away, which mad it even more difficult for me, then the first needle went in and he looked at me with a face like "what was that?" and a few seconds later he started crying, the doctor encouraged me to pick him up and hold him and then put him back down for the second shot at which he screamed horribly and I felt so helpless and mortified...
I was crying too, I had to put my baby through that pain!
After 10 minutes he had stopped crying and I was still going on even though I was smiling at him pretending all was fine.
CONCLUSION: Gods forbid he hurts himself as I'll be the one in pieces...I'm such a crybaby!
I strongly recommend information about vaccines is read before taking your baby for vaccinations, they can be dangerous (encephalitis etc.)and even fatal (sids, allergic reactions, intossications etc.)if certain circumstances are present (premature babies, flu, colds, etc.) and most countries still use harmful chemicals in them so watch what you do... I'll never vaccinate my son again nor my next offspring after I came to know the truth that revolves around vaccinations, the risks are far too high than the benefits. This said I breastfeed so his immune system will always be better than a formula fed baby. Everyone is different.
