I took today off work and was glad I did. I left work in the middle of the afternoon yesterday after everyone telling me how pale and spaced out I looked!  After a relatively good nights sleep last night I was up at 07:30 this morning and then fell asleep on the couch from 09:00 until 11:00 this morning! The antibiotics are dehydrating the hell outta me and I think my body’s knackered fighting off the infection. Given how shattered I was today I think I might take another day off tomorrow… yawn 🙁

Thanks for your thoughts, comments and emails everyone

And there was me thinking it was all going so well………… After having my wisdom teeth out last Tuesday I thought I was away laughing when everything was OK on Thursday. Friday my jaw was a wee bit sore but I thought that I had just overdone it and pulled the stitches or something – little did I know that those bacteria were massively busy having asexual sex and multiplying like the little buggers that they are! By Saturday the glands in my jaw were up and my jaw hardly moving……..

Sunday arrived and I had no jawline on the left to speak of as my glands were up so much and I couldn’t open my mouth more than about 1cm 🙁 A quick call to my oral surgeon, a faxed prescription and I’m now doped up to the eyeballs with pain killers and antibiotics and am seriously thinking about leaving work and going home and taking a day or two off work…….

Max has been a little bugger today according to Vic, hardly sleeping always feeding, you know – the usual.

I had a good evening though – I washed Max’s hair, gave him a bath and then gave him a full body massage with sweet almond oil. Hee hee

At lunchtime today I bought a Jabra Bluetooth headset. It’s in it’s wee holder at the moment charging up for 2 hours but I’ve already paired it with my phone so it’ll be interesting to see if it works…….

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…..

Left side upper and lower. Luckily the local anesthetic hasn’t worn off yet……..

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.
