28th April 1998 Today we went out to the gardens for lunch, and then out for dinner. Something about Great-Grandma going home tomorrow. I wonder where home is, and if we'll be able to visit her? Maybe she'll come see me again some time. 29th April 1998 Mummy and Daddy took me down into town again. We went to the video store and got some videos out, and then went to the office and saw Donna and everyone else. And then we went into town and bought something for my cot, and Mummy and Daddy had some food. Then we came home and Mummy and Daddy watched videos and I annoyed them by my normal evening of discontent. 30th April 1998 Hehe, Mummy's got this thing about taking my nappy off and sitting me on her lap in the sun with a bare bottom. I don't know why she does it - one little poo or wee and she has to change the nappy that I'm lying on. They're getting behind on washing too - I might have a talk to them about that. 1st May 1998 Today Mummy and I were supposed to go out, but just as we were about to leave, I needed to poo, and it started raining. Mummy said something about fate working against her. Daddy was down there though, so at least someone got to go. 2nd May 1998 It was a nice day today so Daddy caught up on the washing. Then in the afternoon Mummy's friend Pip came round with her son Ingmar, and her twelve week daughter Ariana. Wow - she's a fair bit bigger than me! While we both slept, Mummy and Pip talked about Mummy stuff while Ingmar watched Return if the Jedi. 4th May 1998 Mummy took me to one of her lectures today. I didn't learn too much, but everyone there thought I was pretty cool. Then Mummy and Granddad and I went to a cafe for lunch. Daddy doesn't seem to be too well - something about having caught the flu from Mummy. 5th May 1998 Daddy took me down to meet Mummy so he could go to his lecture, and she forgot about us! No brownie points for her. Paula also came again, she seems to be pretty regular. She weighed me and said that I was now 10lb 12 oz, almost off her scale. Her and Mummy and Daddy were talking about vaccinations and stuff. What does that mean? I hope it doesn't hurt too much. 6th May 1998 Daddy was really sick today, he spent most of the day in bed. I spent some of it sleeping next to him, waking up once in a while to demand to be fed. He was weird, he put on all these clothes cuz he was cold, and then he took them all off again. I was crying lots in the afternoon, and it took Mummy and Daddy ages to get me to settle down, but then I spent the evening asleep in my pram. 7th May 1998 Daddy seems to be getting a bit better, though he's definately not over it. I wasn't very happy at all tonight - didn't feel right, and so I demonstrated this by not settling down all evening, and then sleeping for a while, and then keeping Mum and Dad up for a fair bit of the night. And dammit, my milk isn't coming when I need it, so Mum and Dad had to give me some formula 'cause I was so hungry. 8th May 1998 Tonight Mummy and Daddy took me on my first march! It was the reclaim the night march, organised by some people in the office. It was kinda cool. We also went to the office and then the student cafe, and everybody in it wanted to hold me and look at me. I was so popular! I think I might start charging by the minute. 9th May 1998 It was graduation day today. So we went down into town and watched Renee and Brooke and Baxter march through town looking all funny and Daddy took some photos of them with me. Then we met up with Granddad, and Mummy's friend (also called Brooke) and had some lunch and stuff. 10th May 1998 Today was Mother's Day, so I tried pretty hard to be good for Mum. Daddy helped me give her chocolates, and some 'get out of nappies free' cards. Mummy and Daddy seemed to spend most of the day and night watching the television, so I just fell asleep on Mummy's chest and tried to look as cute as possible. 11th May 1998 Nothing much happened today. No, really.
