We took a video of Milo on his mat this morning

It seems like ages ago that Milo entered our lives, but it is only a month. Here are a few photos from the first month.

 


Milo has had some professional pictures taken thanks to Debbie Wallwork. They can be seen here:

Hello all. And welcome to the long and winding road of labour. The first contractions happened at 4am on Saturday 10th December… They have been coming every 15 mins or there abouts, but 60 hours later, we’re no further forward. Only lacking sleep and motivation!

Andrea has been doing really well and we have already had 2 trips to the hospital. The second trip provided us with a TENS machine, that I can highly recommend as it has made the contractions standable. Andrea can actually get a bit of sleep between them.

We met with the midwife this afternoon and things still seem to be going normally. Apparently the longer this “early labour” the quicker he will drop out. Hopefully there is not much longer to go!

PS – 4 down, 4 to go in the NCT girls group.


OK, so for us it’s only theory at the moment but surely any parent these days knows that giving your kids junk food day in day out is a recipe for disaster?  Not so with the three sets of parents (one of which was a single mother who herself lived solely on junk food and had an unexplained heart attack somewhere in her mid 20’s) shown in BBC1 ‘s Fast Food Baby this week.

I expect they were the most extreme examples they could find but if there’s one thing guaranteed to get the blood boiling it’s watching those toddlers consume up to 3,000 (yep, count those noughts) calories a day.  And one family had up to five take-aways a week!

Seems like the Change4Life programme still has some way to go….
