This year…

Posted by: admin In: family|personal|photography

I don’t tend to make New Year’s resolutions, I guess it’s because generally I’m happy with the status quo.

Posted by: admin In: family|hardware|photography

It was Isla’s and my Birthday yesterday. My sister Anna bought Isla a Fisher Price “Kid Tough” Digital Camera which she gave her on Saturday when we all met up in London after going on the London Eye. Isla was thrilled to bits with her camera, and actually she’s taken some pretty good photos (considering [...]

Erin update; two weeks old

Erin’s first full day

Posted by: admin In: baby|family|personal

We took Erin back to hospital Today so that that the paediatrician could give her the once over and make sure that the faint heart murmur that they heard yesterday was nothing to worry about. She was checked over by two doctors; the junior doctor said she thought she could maybe hear something very feint, [...]

After a long hard slog Erin Mae Ford finally put in an appearance at 02.22 today. Weighing 8lb 1. I meant to post lots of pictures, but I’ve bought the wrong lead for the camera with me. Here’s two I took with the phone. I’ll post more when I get home.

Booked in…

Posted by: admin In: baby|family|personal

So, this morning was Laura’s 41 week check with the midwife. She’s now booked in to be induced on Monday.  We’re still hoping baby will make an appearance before then.

Baby Update – 40 weeks 1 day.

Posted by: admin In: baby|family|personal

Just back from the midwife’s, everything continues to be fine. So it’s just a waiting game still. Laura’s cooked Chilli for dinner, I think the plan is to have a curry Tommorow (that’ll be the third in a week); she’s also got the reflexology appointment booked. So here’s hoping something happens soon.
