We've been busy this last week as Simon had the week off work on holiday (yippee from Thomas!). It has gone so quickly and we're all wishing he had next week off too, but alas he's back to work on Monday. We were hoping that we would have sorted the bottle problem this week and that Thomas would now be feeding from it...but no of course he's not! We've spent a fortune on different bottles, different teats, different brands of milk, with Simon trying to feed him, Nana trying to feed him and I've even had a go....but the answer every time was "NO!!". It got to the stage where he was going 4-5 hours without a feed during the day and that's a long time for a lttle boy who normally feeds every two hours. He's now started waking up every 2-3 hours at night to catch up on his food, poor little boy (and poor me too as I am the one who has to feed him!) We sought advise from the health visitor and have a few more things to try so fingers crossed they work.
So what have been up to this week? We went to Bluewater on Monday and ordered a toy box for Mr T's bedroom and got him some new clothes too...what a lucky boy he is! Tuesday we went to Herne Bay and had a walk along the sea front. It was lovely and sunny with a brisk breeze off the water but were all wrapped up so didn't feel cold.
As you can see Simon and Mr T had a lovely time!
Thomas and I enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate!
We then drove onto Whitstable and had a nice strole around the town which hasn't changed much since Simon and I went there a few years ago. We had lunch outside at Zizzi's (an Italian resturant) which was lovely (but actually means that Simon cut my pizza up into slices which I ate whilst cuddling Thomas!!)
We were all very tired after being out in the sea air, lucky Thomas slept in the car all the way home so he was nice and refreshed but Simon and were shattered as we didn't sleep!!!
Wednesday we met everyone from the NCT group and in total there were 9 babies and 10 adults. We all love meeting up every week and it amazing to see how they babies are all changing and that they're all at different stages. Simon,Mike and Tom all oped they'd be able to pop to the pub at the end of the lane but us girlies all thought it would be best if we left them at home to look at after the babies and we all went to the pub! In the end no-one ended up going to the pub, maybe next time!?
We've been busy getting ready fr the NCT nearly new sale which was held today, Thomas has now outgrown all of the 0-3month clothes we had so we decided to sell them and use the money to get him 3-6month size which hopefully will last him a while. I went to the sale and picked up lots of clothes for Mr T and I went back at the end of the day to collect anyting of ours that didn't sell and it had all gone!! So we are very happy and are waiting for the cheque to come in the post.
Nana, Grandad and Auntie Debbie came over last night for a take away curry to help us celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. We all had such a lovely time, lots of cuddles with Mr T of course, then lots and lots of laughter...won't go into details Nana!!!
Thomas hasn't really been himself the past few days, not sure what's wrong but he's not feeding properly and crying a lot too which isn't our Mr T! He's still smiling lots and is in good sprits so fingers crossed he has a good long sleep tonight and is back to normal tomorow.
Right, bed time for me (9.45pm on a Saturday night!!!) so will write more when I can.
