Weigh ins / Xmas prep / Vaccinations

I got discharged from hospital Sunday night and we made it to the Xmas Fayre. Old Windsor did get more people wearing Xmas jumpers than the previous world record did but Guinness doesn't confirm anything for many weeks so no-one really knows. We had a lovely time though with David and Saffy too and started to feel very festive.

The babies got weighed on Monday and as expected they are really putting on weight well now.

Carl is now 4.05 kilos (8lbs 15oz) and wearing Newborn/First Size clothes although it won't be long until he is in 0-3 I'm sure

Ella is now 3.25 kilos (7lbs 2oz) and wearing Tiny Baby up to 7lbs clothes. Again I don't think she has much longer left in them

We are getting ready for their first Xmas. Stockings and sacks have been purchased with their names on. Now I just need to find some time to wrap up some presents for them.

The tree is up thanks to some help from Mum last week and the lights seem to have been catching their attention.

Can't believe it's only two weeks away. I haven't even started writing cards.

Post has been arriving for the babies - how cute is that?


They had their first vaccinations today. Mum came to help which was very much appreciated. They both screamed and needed lots of cuddling but calmed down quickly too. They didn't seem too bad during the day but got a bit grouchy and clingy this evening. I gave them their first ever dose of Calpol - sure there'll be more to come over the years and they got quite sleepy. Fingers crossed it lasts through the night.

I have Swedish nursery rhymes stuck in my head from a CD we've been playing them in the car! Think I had better start playing the English versions soon too or they might get some strange looks when they start singing.
