POC (the second one) not really paying much attention. I’m on day 6 of my cooking strike (I’m not preparing food for anyone except Jasper until Claudia stops complaining) - food is a major power thing with her and I’m not playing along anymore. Either she gets what Simon cooks or she has Weetabix three times a day.

We didn’t do much today. Jasper banged his head about 5 times (more crawling attempts), ate a whole avocado, banana & toast - I love watching him eat he clearly enjoys it so much (still no teeth yet) - and slept for all of 20 minutes. Claudia watched Over the Hedge & we watched High Society together. We read - she read some fairy tales & I read her some books about Egypt. She measured things. Bounced on the trampoline. Did some Hama beading. Gave Jasper a bath in the sink and knitted a lot.

I’m having oversupply issues again - can you believe he is nearly 8 months & it still hasn’t settled down? Apparently it can be more common in women with PCOS. It was similar with Claudia but she fed more infrequently than Jasper, she *never* comfort fed which J has started doing recently. His feeding hasn’t reduced at all despite vast amounts of solids & water with meals ho hum. The lack of periods is bothering me - I’m in limbo & am putting off making any serious contraceptive decisions. As much as we would love more children I feel hugely ambivalent about the whole thing. Life is just wonderful atm, Jasper & Claudia seem perfect, his birth was brilliant, I *hate hate hate hate hate* ad infinitum being pregnant (although really J was totally uncomplicated and may well have been nice if I wasn’t such as basket case), I don’t want to have to go back on steroids (injections are fine but I hate the steroids they make me deranged) and the last miscarriage was far too awful to be repeated.

Anyway, no particular reason for the introspection, it certainly doesn’t suit me Keira Knightly is even skinnier than she was in the first film.
