Just wanted to say that I love your new avatar of Ellis, he's absolutely gorgeous.

I can't figure out how to reduce the number of pixels in my photos so I can't load an avatar on

Hey, it worked, it worked!!!
Whoop whoop

Thank you! Spencer has a lovely smile, looks like a right cheeky chappy!

I know what you mean about the pixels, i have to keep cropping pics so that they work!

How are you today? I went to my first mums and tots with Ellis today and we had a great time, wish i'd gone earlier now. I was a bit worried that the mums will keep to there little groups and no one would talk to me but it wasnt like that at all.

I'm so glad that you had a good time at playgroup. I really enjoy going and I like that Spence can watch older babies/toddlers and possibly pick up some tips on crawling and pulling up.
I met a new mum on Monday who's also called Liz (my real name, shhh, LOL) and her little boy who's 10 months old and I think weighed even more than Ellis at birth!

Spence is up to 21lbs11oz which I'm so happy about cos he's finally back up the centile he was born on (75th). While I was bf he gained weight very slowly so dropped down the chart to below the 25th, its taken nearly 5 months of formula and solids for him to climb back up. Both me and HVs are very pleased.

I'm off to the physio this afternoon cos I've been struggling with my back for the past couple of months. Its a weird kind of "ping" pain, like being flicked with an elastic band, in my lower back muscles. Its not really painful but I don't want to ignore it and have it get worse.

How are you feeling? Any sickness? I hope not.

Well done to Spencer for getting his weight back up, Ellis weighs 24lb now and has started to slow down with his weigth gain as he was heading towards the next centile! I bet you feel now, i know i would have worried a lot if Ellis had dropped that much.

I'm feeling completely knackered all the time! I'd forgotten how tired you get in early pregnancy. Not really feeling very sick, if i do its in the evening and doesnt last too long. I cant stop eating though, ha ha! This could be a problem as i go to weight watchers with my friend every thurs (got to my goal so i just have to stay the same) but i don't want people to know i'm pregnant till i've had my scan so i'm having to think up a lie for why i will need to stop going!

I hate all this lying! It's my birthday soon and my mates want to take me out for a meal so i need to think of a lie for why i'm not drinking, then its my friends hen weekend next month so i'm lying for that! I'm sure they're going to suss me out!

Hope physio goes well. We are going to visit my mum and dad soon so i'll get to have a little rest as they will be fighting for Ellis as soon as we get there.

Take care xx
