We had an appointment at the drop-in clinic at the hospital on Saturday morning. Lara had some blood taken for testing - her reaction to the midwife pricking Lara's heel was to fart forcefully in the midwife's direction.
Everything was OK, Lara had lost some weight, down to 2.66kg, which is fine.
After that it was off to Wycombe town centre for a shopping adventure around Mothercare & Woolworths. Given that I was driving the pram with the carrycot for the first time, 2 Saturdays before Christmas, I only clipped one shopper with the pram, and that was out in the street and not in the crowded aisles of Woolies.
Lara had her second social engagement on Saturday night, when we took her to the Prince of Wales in Marlow so I could meet up with the football lads, who were on their Christmas Night Out. Of course the real reason was just to show Lara off!
We started getting Christmassy today too, we put the tree and some decorations up. I did expect Mishka to either pull the tree down or mark it as "his" tree by the time we got back from the pub, but he'd behaved himself. We'll have our family portrait taken by the tree as soon as all four of us are looking presentable at the same time!
Lara's still being good during the night, Olga is sensing when Lara needs a feed before the tears start, so I'm getting reasonable sleep, and Olga's getting a little more than she was expecting, I think. On Saturday night Lara was particularly good, having a feed around midnight, then again around 3.30am then again around 7am.
