Hello hello, sorry haven’t written in ages. Tycho has been going through growth spurts and I have been tied down to the sofa feeding him at all hours. He is still not gaining a lot of weight, so now we are topping up with formula twice a day. I really do hate it, but I don’t want to have a sad little man here either. As he is so hungry he hardly sleeps, they say that they should be sleeping 16 hours a day, I doubt Tycho get much more than 8, so he gets grumpy. Hopefully this will improve things. (more…)

I have really enjoyed all 3 days that I have gone to, the group is great, the teacher was fab and I am really happy we went. As I mentioned before we were singed up for NHS courses as well. We have since dropped out of these, two reasons mainly; 1 they were on the same day as the NCT courses and it just got a bit too much, I was exhausted the day after, there was also a lot of overlap. 2 there were so many people there that didn’t want to be there, young dads sitting in the back grumbling about being there instead of taking part, girls looking bored rolling their eyes at the questions we were meant to discuss.
