So this is probably our birth announcement... the girl who did it is going to do a few more, but we really like this one. So soon I'll print some off and send them to all the relatives I'm expected to send such things to!

Well yesterday was a very long day. The hospital rang at 7:30am inviting us to have Eden's tongue tie appointment at 12, due to a cancellation. So we slept a few more hours, bundled him into the car (it was awful weather) and then into the hospital. We sat with 2 other couples with tiny babies waiting for the appointments... the first child went in, came back crying (as to be expected) and then it was our turn. We went in, both of us nervous but Eden was fast asleep...and they decided there was no point!!! The surgeon looked in his mouth, which Eden didn't like at all, and said that although there is a tongue tie, his tongue is extremely mobile and it's actually just the thick base of his tongue that makes it look more tied down. She said there was simply no point in doing the procedure. And that was a-ok with us!

So then we decided, since phil had the day off anyway, we may as well go to the Trafford Centre for some Christmas shopping. Except there was some incident on the motorway and what should have been a 40 minute drive took over 2 hours... We eventually got there though and had a nice time...Eden was in the sling (being admired constantly), we took turns wearing it, fast asleep!!!

Last night when we got home he started making happy noises. This is a first. Quite exciting. It was before we even gave him his new and improved dummies... i also got an expresser which is oh so exciting...and weird.

I'm starting to wonder if we need to move him into the cot...as whenever I let him sleep on the bed during the day while I play on the computer, he spreads his arms out as far as they will go (kind of like a starfish). That's no so possible in the cradle. We'll see though, as it's SO convenient having him next to me.
