Its been a little while since we last blogged and lots has happened over the past few weeks. We have been to 2 different hospitals, visited Granny & Grandpa in Croydon, stayed in a hotel and been to a wedding not bad for a 6 week old!
We had to visit Sheffield Childrens Hospital after I choked on some milk and nearly passed out. Luckily Daddy was able to pat me on the back rather hard, but Mummy thought it best to get me checked out at the hospital. After the doctor had taken my blood, mummy had to wait for me to wee and try and catch in a funnel so the hospitalcould check to make sure I was ok. The doctor decided it would be best if I stayed in over night to see the consultant the next morning. This was fine by me as I got a nice cot, however, it was rather less fun for Mummy and Daddy whose sleeping arrangements were rather less glamorous. Daddy started in the chair, tried to sleep on the floor with his briefcase as a pillow and evemtually had to evict Mummy from the bed, put the mattress on the floor and sleep squashed up against the wall on the bit of mattress Mummy let him have! After seeing the nice consultant the next morning - he told me I could have milk whenever I wanted it I was allowed home.
We visited Granny, Grandpa and Auntie Emma last weekend. It took ages for Daddy to pack the car - it made a change for someone to have more stuff than Mummy! The journey down was good although I think Mummy found feeding in the services rather uncomfortable.
Our visit to Croydon also included a visit to Mayday hospital after the hospital in Sheffield rang to say that they needed one of the tests repeating. Luckily we did not have to stay in overnight this time so Daddy didn't have to sleep on the floor again!
When we were in Croydon we went to visit Great Grandad and also saw Chris & Zoe. Zoe is much bigger than me at the moment, but I'm sure I'll catch up at some point. You can read what Zoe has been up to at http://www.giddymonkey.com/ I also got lots of cuddles from Granny and Grandpa. Unfortunately all the adults had to eat at different times as one of them was needed to occupy me!
After visiting Croydon we went to stay in a hotel so we were close to Wembley for Sanjay & Kavitha's wedding. The hotel was very nice if a bit warm. Uncle Julian and Ali came to visit having had to cancel the night before when I had to go to the hospital
The wedding was very colourful - Mummy dressed up in a bright pink outfit. Lots of the guests thought she looked very smart and that I was very good for sleeping all the way through the ceremony. I also got to meet lots of Sanjay's family, although Mummy wasn't very impressed when somebody woke me up just after I had gone to sleep after being walked round the block in the pram for half an hour.
On the way back from London we stopped at Great Auntie Sue's and Uncle Ken's house. I needed a feed and Daddy had a sleep in the back garden. We managed to get most of the way home before I needed to feed again at which point we had to divert to Mothercare for another feed!
The health visitor has been this week and I am growing nicely now - I weigh over 9 lbs. Today Mummy took me swimming for the first time with Emma & Hannah. Judging by the weather in Sheffield we could have gone in the puddles outside!
Hoep you are all well
Love
Joshua
