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….

It’s the end of my first day back at work and I am absolutely knackered! It was really busy at work with 2 weeks worth of catching up to do and although I didn’t get up last night (thanks Vic) it was midnight before we got to sleep and I was woken two or three times. Poor Vic looked shattered when I got home and has just woken up from a 2 hour nap so I’m off to make dinner. Bit of a bugger that we won’t eat until 10 but as I had no lunch, later is better than never!
And a big event in Max’s life today – the remains of his umbilical cord fell off. He now has a belly button!
Three days since the last update and to be honest not a lot has happened. I have put another 4 pictures in the image database but that’s about it. We’re both absolutely knackered for the most part and just taking things day by day……
I’m back to work on Monday and am feeling pretty ambiguous about it. Although it’ll be nice to get back and be busy I’ll miss/worry about Vic and Max. Vic really needs to get more sleep and hopefully without me there she’ll nap during the day some more.
That’s about it for now, Max has just woken up so it’s another round of feeding and changing……..
Max is a real porker! The midwife came around today and weighed him – 8lb 2oz, that’s six ounces in 4 days!
We’re having a good day today though. Vic and I are feeling OK, probably due to us going to bed at 17:30 yesterday – lol!
And for the grandparents especially here’s our first family shot
Marc, Vic and Max (and yes I have put weight on 
)
It took me 9 hours to find my wallet yesterday!
We went to see David and Claire on Sunday and if you had put me up in court and said “did you take your wallet to David and Claire’s flat?” I would have yes straight away and without a hint of doubt.
After 9 hours of hunting high and low I found my wallet in my camera bag of all places. As I can’t remember opening my camera bag at all yesterday then it must have been put in there before going to Davids. If you’d asked “did you put your wallet in your camera bag AT ALL?” I would have said “hell no!”
So there are two options – 1) I took my wallet to D&C’s and then put it in my camera bag after that and don’t remember it…. or 2) My wallet was in my camera bag before we left the house and I didn’t take it anywhere.
Either way I am losing the plot!
