I just cant believe how much stuff has moved in our house since abigail arrived, the latest purschase of dads is fruit trees so when shes older she can climb the trees and pick the fruit. pity our gardens a jungle and niether of us knows much about gardening although my plant pots did well last year. Not sure what Abi thinks!!!
And whatever Ste says i dont think she wasimpressed with B and Q as she slept all the way through it.

B&Q
Daddy not blogged for a while and thought while a very special event happened today I would tell everyone... yes, Abi had her first trip to B&Q. Abi pointed out to daddy all the special clearance items on the table and we had good nosey and picked up some great bargains, dont think Lorna would admit it but Abi did enjoy herself.
We all went for a walk also today to Asda, then carried on to guess where (give you a clue it was lunch time).. yes another one of Abis favourite places, the chipshop! We ate them in the park then walked home, Mackie also enjoyed himself and shared the chips.
Yesterday evening we went to visit auntie Val & Gemma, Abi enjoyed herself being the centre of attention as usual. Having nothing else planned this weekend apart from army in the morning, daddy suffering from man flue at the moment and not feeling to well, Abi just brought up her bottle over Lorna and the dog sulking for being locked in kitchen for being naughty.. nothing changes.
Will hopefully blog again soon!

Walkies
I decided to be brave or prehaps stupid depending on your viewpoint. And took both Abi and mackie for a walk. Not an easy task Abi was as goodas gold wrapped up and snug in the pram macy was excitable and didnt semm to realise that run in front of the pram was a good idea as he then would get his lead tangled in the pram. But never the less we managed all though sterring one handed is not to be recommended.
The health visitor came yesterday and abi is now 8lb 9 0z. We again tried to open a bank account after a frustrating 30 mins i managed to finally get through the call centre and get an apointment. Turned up at the bank with Abi and her birth certificate only to be informed thy had no record of seeing any id of me and couldnt open the acoount till they had seen it this was a complete surprise as i have banked with them for about 14 years have arranged 2 morgates through them have a single current account a joint current account and savings. And this is also inspite of when trying to open a joint account them saying there details werent up to date as they introduce a new system and providing them with up to date details. Also i had taken in my marriage certificate in order to change my details. But apparantly all that does not allow you to open a savings acoount for a baby. As they cant bypass the computer and i had not taken any photographic id as i was told all i needed was Abi birth certificate as i banked there.
So we went from there to a building society where niether of us has an acoount and they opend an acoount and all they required was Abigails birth certificate mad or what??? Then i ended the day on a high note finding out a friend at church is expecting twins in July. Theres definatley something in the water what with 4 baby girls last year and already another arrival due in may. I cant wait though.

bathtimes
Saturday night and both macy and abigail needed baths sepratley of course. Ste had the choice of who to bath but opted for us bathing both jointly. So in went macy and after hed been scrubbed and ste was drying him, well fighting him for the towel. The bath was scrubbed and run for Abi. Not sure who managed to stay clean the longest though. On his morning walk macy managed to find some mud and to wade through it.
After two weeks of behaving at the Army this was the week that Abi decided to have a cry and of course it was during a quiet time but she soon settled. Although not entirley her fault as she had tummy ache. And of course as usuall she enjoyed all the cuddles.
We set out together yesterday and managed better with the pram and abi enjoys being out and looking at new things. The aim of the trip was to open a bank account for Abi. Who would have thought it so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can no longer just turn up to open an account but you must make an appointment easier said than done with a baby. So after quing up in the bank and then waiting we didnt manage to achieve our aim. And i couldnt try anywhere else as i had no prof of adress so we going to try to do it online ans see if thats more sucsessfull.

Abigail update
The midwife visited yesterday and she now weighs in at 8ib 6oz so doing well weve had two not so bad nights first night she was woken at 1130 for feed and slept till 5 last night she took ages to settle as suffering with colic but when she did she slept till gone 8
On monday we braved a walk in to town with the pram i seem to be getting better at manuvering it but as peter pointed out could still do with l plates. We came home by bus and abigail enjoyed it so much she went to sleep. Ste been busy in work which i think as helped him because he wanted to stay at home with us. Macy has been behaving but still stickin to plan apart from his toys hes still got them at moment.

New Years Eve
I know were out of sink but last night ste decided we have our new years eve celebration and a welcome to abi. Unfortunatley we didnt make it to midnight. So anyway Happy New Year.
Dady took the obligatory baby in bath photos yesterday to embarras her with when shes older.
We also picked up some thank you cards for Abi to say thank you for all the gifts she has recieved only thing is for her to learn to write now. Its so overwhelming the gifts and cards we have recieved and were so greatful. Its lovely chossing which outfit Abi is going to wear. I cant believe though how the addition of another person and a litlle one at that has more than doubled the washing.
Macy has been behaving and is much calmer although hedoes try to get on the sofa but he jumps up and curls up on you and just looks so cute. But he has been a good boy which means we can enjoy both Abigail and macy. Not sure what helped though wether changing his food to a hyperallegenic brand or us not spoilling him.
Poor ste is back to work tommorow and really dosent want to leave abigail. So im firmly on the night shifts now!!!!!!!! Apart from what Ste calls Daddy and Abigail time i think that will become even more precious to them both espically this week.
