first day at school
So today as the title suggests is my first day at school. Blimey that was quick. One minute i'm laying in an incubator the next i'm getting all nervous in my ill fitting shorts - you'll grow into them - and wondering whether they still do free milk or did john prescott abolish that? Hmm. So today i'm off to my first baby sensory class which according to the literature provides hundreds of sensory development activities that are great fun for parents and babies to share in the vital first year. The classes include fibre optic light shows, bubbles, bells, musical fun, baby signing, puppet shows, amazing light balls and so much more. Milk hopefully. And alot of it. If i do manage to wake up during any part of the light/puppet/balloon show i will also have the excellent opportunity to see M making a complete *** of herself as she claps and waves stuff about.....bless her.

And we're back...
apologies for the lack of posts but now we're back to normal again. Fingers crossed.....
so....today i went for my first clinical development assessment, where reasonably nicey doc asked lots of questions - and prodded me a bit....
things i passed on.
1. leg and arm movement all moving in the right direction
2. Head circumference
3. Weight.....7lb 8oz. OMG. Call the fat police....
4. Eat like a pig. hence above.
5. Reflexes good when she walloped me with a stick. bitch
6. Knawing of a hand - excellent
things of 'concern'
1. Apparently i look down a bit. This i put down to laying on my back for 3 months and trying to peer out of the cot. They think it may be - and i stress MAY - infact they're not really even saying may - but more like they'd like to rule it out - but anyway - my brain bleed from yesteryear can sometimes create the ventricles to be blocked which can then put pressure on the brain which can apparently cause the eyes to look down. I also look up and sideways and straight ahead - but they are airing on the side of caution so tomorrow i'm off for another brain scan. If thats inconclusive then i'll have an MRI. But i'm sure everything will be fine.
2. They're worried i clench my fists. I however only clench my fists when D is being very slow at feeding me and i want to give him a right hook. So therefore i am not too overly concerned by this either. But hey thats their job.
3. No other concerns.
So this is my assessment. I'm just fine thankyou.
