Baby Update

Right, slight change from Monday. Just been for another scan, actually two, and the information given on Monday was a result of human error. It has now been determined that the baby is over 6lbs now and is fine. The hospital were not keen to admit human error but it's either that or the baby has grown over 2lbs in weight within 72 hours! We don't have to go for an appointment now until a week on Tuesday rather than a check up every other day. Naughty hospital trying to scare us silly.

At least I know that when alone Suzy is always here to look after me. She does insist on being close! Here she is after getting in bed with me and even utilising the pillow! Cheeky puss!

Here's Rob's nephew Liam enjoying a chocolate biscuit a bit too much.

Also on the Tadpole Front

The tadpoles are doing well now. They are approx' 20 of them and a few are huge. They enjoy their diet of rain water and cat biscuits. Here they are a few days ago, shading in their green stuff.

Baby Update

Lots to update on today. On Friday I went for a midwife appointment and she said she was a bit worried about the size of the baby. He seemed a bit small and had not grown much since her last visit. So on Monday we went to the hospital for another scan and a consultant appointment. They said that he was a bit small and even if he went to full term he'd probably be under 6lbs. We were fine about that as I was a little baby at 5lb 2. The bit that was a shock was that if by next Monday he has not improved I'd be induced! So that would be a baby in a week then! Panic stations has resulted in the baby room being finished and my hospital bag being done and sat by the front door. I've posted 2 pictures today, one of the room with moses basket, futon, carpet etc and one of our little collection of shoes. They are soooo cute! Don't think he'll need them straight away but they are very sweet.

Sunny weather

It been so sunny here the last few days, very cold but really sunny. We went up to Podmore Lake which is not far from the house. Just lots of quacks really, but they were all camera shy and were bathing at the other side.

Tadpoles are still going, getting bigger now, I think we may have as may as 15 but it's hard to count.

General update

Just thought I'd add a blog entry to mock our silly hamster. Got up this morning and found Kanoute the stray cat asleep in the lounge, the water bottle hanging off the hamster cage and no one in at Hammy Towers! "Oh crap!" I thought. I was convinced that Kanoute (or Suzy) would have munched the poor sod. Over an hour later and after a hunt behind every piece of furniture in the house, I found a small pile of carefully placed cat biscuits in the corner. So she had been somewhere at least. I then decided to have a peak under the sofa and saw the trembling rodent cowering in the middle. Shaking like a leaf she eventually ventured out and I captured her in a tube. She's spent the whole day and evening sleeping her adventure off.

Staying on the animal theme, Kanoute's hurt his foot again. What will we do with him. Think I'll have to take him to the vet again. He is a pain.

I've stopped work now until at least September so I'll have to start 'nesting' as they call it. We will be getting the carpet for the baby room this week so once that's in I'll get some more jobs done.
