Once again I've let you all down and my blog go! So time for an update!!

Oliver now weighs 7lb 5oz! What a porker! He was due this week 15/7/08 so is now officially meant to be here and is officially a sort of newborn size! He's starting to have wakeful periods now which is nice.

He was seen by the peadriatric consultants this week and diagnosed with GORD which is reflux the answer to why he is so sick after every feed and doesn't go long inbetween feeds. They have started him on some medication for it which so far seems to be helping. Abi had a birthday party to go to at go wild which is a childrens indoor play area she loved it.

She also had her taster morning at nursery where she will be starting in september she was so excited going and was fine as mummy was allowed to stay, she enjoyed painting and the play dough but as soon as I had to go out to feed Oliver she flipped. I think looking back now it was a mistake going for the taster morning as now she'll expect me to stay when she starts in september and I can't. We'll see though. She's going to be doing Wednesday and Friday mornings. I'm sure she'll love it once she is into the routine of it.

We gave up this week and brought a double pushchair the buggy board is brilliant when she is in a good mood and not tired but she's just not ready to be without a pushchair yet. We got a really good one on ebay though which is in almost new condition.

Only 3 more days and then Ed is off for 5 weeks I can't wait!!!

Brother and Sisterly Love

Here are two of my latest favourite photos! Ollie and Abi having a cuddle in Abigail's bed at bedtime and Ollie and Abi looking at each other ready for bed laying on Abi's bedroom floor.
We're all really well, had a busy week if you haven't checked in lately scroll down as i've posted a few updates over the last few days.
Oliver weighs in at 6lb exactly :) or I think it 2.72kg he's feeding really well I'm still breastfeeding but pretty tired as he feeds so often! I really want to feed him myself for as long as I can as its so good for him and also so much easier than sterilising and making up all those bottles!!
I just love this weather when we've been home Abi and I have just been in the garden - its so lovely to be able to be outside. Oliver's jaundice has almost gone now through all the sunlight we've had.
Off to get some sleep now please read Abi's tumble tot olympics post and sponsor her if you can!! x x x

3ft People Festival 01/07/2008

As my long time blog readers may remember (or you can just cheat and read back) This is the 3rd year we have been to the 3ft People festival. We went with Abi's best friend Eleanor&her mum Beccy.
It was a really hot day on Tuesday reaching 30 degree's, it was a very long hot day&hard work as it was my first real day out with both Abi and Ollie but its a great festival for toddlers and definately worth going. There are lots of shows&activities making things and doing things also animals to touch( abi even touched a snake!!!! soft play areas and a disco at the end. It really was a great day!
Photos attached!

Tumble Tots Olympics

On Thursday 3rd July 2008 Abigail competed in her first sponsored event. The tumble tots sponsored Olympics! They raised money for St Johns Neonatal unit which is where Oliver was cared for and treated for 19 days after he was born 8 weeks early - they saved his life so was a charity very close to our hearts. Abi raised over £450 and did so so well here are some photos of her taking part!
If anyone wants to sponsor her its not too late we are still collecting in sponsors please leave a comment or email me at charlottearscott@hotmail.co.uk It is an amazing cause.
