The temperature really dropped last night and it was forecast to snow, we woke up this morning to the lamest amount of snow ever (I’m glad, I hate snow!) it rained not long after and most of it disappeared.
The only plans we had today were to go and visit Pierre’s folks before lunch time as the midwife said she’d be here in the afternoon sometime after lunch. We drove over as the weather was fairly heinous, it was cold and raining and we didn’t think it was fair to keep the babysaur out in it so we drove over so Nana H could have lots of baby snuggles 🙂
We stayed for about an hour or so before having to go back home, it’s rubbish the Midwives can’t give you a specific time they are going to be with you as it kind of keeps you indoors all day. I probably wouldn’t have wanted to go anywhere but it’s annoying that you can’t!
The midwife came over late afternoon, she weighed the little dude and he’s put weight on again so is now 7lbs 9oz. He’s a little trooper when it comes to putting weight on, I’m so proud of how well he’s doing. I really really like this midwife, she made me feel lots better about the mix feeding, she said she only managed breast feeding for 3 weeks before giving up so not to feel bad about it. She’s coming to see me next Monday before signing me off but I think that’s because I was a bit emotional when speaking to her. I feel fine but I’m still crying at the drop of a hat because of how emotional I am. It’s annoying but I know it’s just hormones, worries etc.
I’m quite worried about Pierre going back to work, about how I’ll cope on my own. I know I will but I’m just a little bit scared at the minute because it’s unknown.
I took today’s picture in Pierre’s car on the way over to his folks house, we were visiting with Jack as the last time they saw him he was being super grumpy and cried the whole time they were here.

There are bunches and bunches of things that are blue around the house (I had no idea we were so blue enamoured, we tend to always go for either purple or green but obviously blue has a big share in that too!). So despite there being a million blue things I took pictures of around the house, I decided to use the one of the paper recycling bin as it shows how frosty it was this morning! 
Today’s a bit of a write off as Pierre is working from 12 onwards then I’m working from 3 onwards so I’ve done bits and pieces of housework this morning but I’m now well aware that I’m not going to be able to leave the house until tomorrow and it’s making me a little cagey but hey ho, the perils of working a shift related job I guess.Â
