Max is now 9lb 3oz! We also scanned a few pictures of him just after he was born and have added them into the image database – with a few others that’s 13 new pictures today Here are my favourite ones…..

The chasms in my mouth that used to house my wisdom teeth are not causing me too much strife and panadol is keeping most of the discomfort at bay We also had a good night’s sleep at last and got to sleep from 23:00-04:30 and 05:30-09:00! Yee ha! Life is good…..

I’ve changed this weblog so that you no longer need to register to leave comments.  I’ve been getting loads of hits but hardly any comments and one of the reasons may be that registration was required…..

Anyway, the only thing required now is an email address so please leave us some more comments! Let us know who’s visited and what you think.

I now have 100 photos in the image database! We also received the film from Vic’s P&S camera that we had at the hospital when Max was born and when I find the time I’ll scan some of the shots in and post them there.

As for us we had a shit night last night 🙁 Max was awake and screaming from 18:00 to 01:00! Vic sent me off to bed at about eleven but I got up at midnight to give her a break and Max went down eventually but poor old Vic is knackered today. It wouldn’t be so bad but Vic has a busy day planned with her first tube ride with Max. She’s off to New Zealand house to apply for NZ citizenship and a passport for Max – if I remember I’ll scan in his dodgy passport photo.

Max and Vic have now been discharged by the midwife after her visit yesterday. In just under 3 weeks he has put on 1lb 2oz (500g) which supposedly is quite good – he now weighs in at 8lb 13oz (4.0 kg)

Here’s a picture of the little porker and Mr Piggy

Just added about 20 images to the image database. They are just copied from my old photography pages but if you haven’t seen them before feel free. Now that it’s all working I’ll add the rest over the weekend and hopefully get around to customising the interface

Yesterday was another day where the UK fell apart due to a couple of inches of snow 🙁 Motorways closed, trains didn’t run and people were leaving their cars abandoned at the side of the road because it was faster to walk……… I thought it was just because people couldn’t handle the conditions and this was pretty much confirmed to me this morning. I was standing outside our building and overheard a conversation between two guys standing next to me. The older of the two said “I was driving along last night in the snow and had to brake. My brakes made a funny chattering sound and so I thought they weren’t working properly so I used my handbrake as well. The handbrake just locked up the rear wheels though and I was sliding around everywhere. I was only later that I realised that it was the anti-lock braking”

1) Yes, that’s what ABS sounds like and 2) Who would be stupid enough to use their handbrake in the snow! What a muppet! After hearing this it really didn’t surprise me that there were so many accidents yesterday.

In other news we are still walking around slightly dazed. We had a great night the night before last – Max slept from midnight to 04:30 and then 05:30 to 09:00 which was fantastic. He obviously thought that he’d been far to nice to us though and was up every couple of hours last night. I hope Vic’s getting as much sleep as possible during the day today as she was way overtired last night and all weepy during our 03:30 chat this morning.

Besides that we really have nothing to report – work and baby is about it….
