Water Baby

Tom has a new bath toy which i bought for him yesterday, a great big blue slide thing that attaches to the sides of the bath. he has been having great fun putting anything and everything down it, but as of yet has not got the hang of putting water in it yet. therefore they tend to get stuck halfway down the slide, resulting in grunts of annoyance!

Also took him swimming on Friday, that was quite funny as he clamped his arms round my neck and would not let me put him down the whole time. strangely enough i took him when he 4 months old and he loved it. there was a really nice woman who let us use her inflatable baby seat thing, (you know the ones the rubber rings with a seat in the middle that u put small babies in) and he seemed relatively calm in that. me and the girls have all decided to go once a fortnight as tom wasn't the only baby seemingly terrified of the water, to get them used to it and as a form of exercise for us. luckily one of us has a little girl who is 2 so she had her hands free most of the time to help everyone else, this will of course be invaluable when Ellen arrives! i hope to break toms phobia of water soon because the thought of holding 2 babies and trying to stay afloat is not terribly appealing!

Tom had his dietitian appointment yesterday, the woman said it was obvious i new what i was doing, and that as long as i was happy with his weight gain and diet she was happy to discharge him. which of course i was brimming with pride about lol! he weighs just 19lb 6oz, but that puts him on the 25th percentile almost which is good enough for me as he has followed that line fairly consistently so i know he is gaining the right amounts.

went bra shopping yesterday too, hurrah! Marks and Spencer finally have maternity bras that don't look like something your nan would wear! its amazing that a good bra makes all the difference, my boobs didn't ache like they had been and they were up on my chest instead of resting on Ellen's head! they were pricey for what i would usually pay for a bra, but i didn't have alot of choice.
well that's it for now speak again soon!
