No such luck as planning on how to sleep with Mary Ann. She can feel that I want her to sleep with me and then she of curse doesn’t want to.
The Health Doctor was pleased with her again yesterday. She said everything was normal about her. Compared to her due day she is a little more mature. So that is fine. However we need to remember to place her on her tummy and on her left side. Her favourite site is the right one which means that her skull is a little awry. Mary Ann has a peppery temper as soon as we move her. She gets angry at us because she wants to be left alone sleeping. That is also okay as long as the Health Doctor again assured us nothing was wrong.
We went to the baby bio today, Neil, Mary Ann and I. Her first time in the movie and she didn’t even realise it. She slept all through the movie.
I can just about remember my first cinema experience, but it's unlikely our daughter will remember hers. Not half as well as we remember it, anyway. For one thing, she slept through most of it. For another, she's only 16 weeks old. As such, she can barely recognise her parent's faces or voices, let alone those of Jerry Seinfeld or Renée Zellweger. So I doubt young Mary Ann fully appreciated the merits of the irreverent cartoon BeeMovie - but we did. A mewling baby is about as welcome in your average multiplex as a ravenous wolf, but cinemas are steadily waking up to the fact that new parents are just as hungry for movies as anyone else - if not more so. The solution is screenings laid on exclusively for parents and their babies, which leave nobody with any right to complain about the mewling. Or the nappy changing, vomit wiping, breastfeeding and other problematic baby-related activities. Movie going is often cited as one of the "outside world" activities parents miss the most, and these dedicated screenings, which can now be found in Aalborg and other cities, have helped convince new parents that their lives have not exploded completely. They're good news for cinemas, too, which are drawing back customers they would otherwise have lost. Furthermore, they can fill the house with an old movie on a weekday afternoon.
We had lunch together in town afterwards. We had such a nice day together Neil and I with Mary Ann on the sideline.
