Seven Stories & Musical Bumps

The three troublemakers (err.. six i suppose) returned to their place of work today for the new exhibition opening. Sadly i didn't get a chance to see the new exhibition, but i'll pop over another time.
We managed to get a couple of Dahl's books signed by the Illustrator Quentin Blake who was in attendance for the opening, i'm just a little annoyed that he spelt Elliot with two T's despite having a written sheet with the correct spelling, but this is becoming a habbit with authors that my wife meets.
One of my x-mas presents from last year was signed "for Billie" when in-fact it was for me, not that i hold a grudge, but DAMN YOU MR CORNWALL!! hehe...
Billie also went to a reunion for one of her antenatal classes tonight, which i can tell she loved, i picked her up from it as she's still not allowed to drive. Musical Bumps has quite a magical effect on her every time she goes. Frankly i know she's going to miss that group more than anything. I hope she keeps in touch with the friends she made there.

Maxine's Last Visit

Well i was pretty sad about this... When i got home today Billie told me that Elliot and herself will now be under the care of the Health Visitor. Which frankly is just another kick in the teeth (yes i know no-one gets a choice in the matter) but just as we'd finally met a midwife we actually enjoed spending time with and felt we had a connection with, she gets snapped away on their busy schedule.
It's nothing really important at the end of the day, but Maxine was pretty much the only midwife whom i felt actually understood why the father was interested in what was happening with the baby and my wifes body. The others just did their utmost to make me feel i was intruding whenever i attended an Antenatal, asked questions or just generally tried to get involved.
Thank you Maxine, you're one in a million. I hope we do see you again next time we decide to go through this childbirth lark.

Kay pops in

And Elliot remains asleep (Can't post much about this visit atm, Billies asleep and i was at work!)

Auntie Mary Visits

And gets seriously smiled at by a delightfully entertained Elliot. So much smiling was done by all that my face aches. It looks like Mary has the magic touch aswell, though after having so many of her own children i'm not suprised!
Jill brought Sophie and Cameron to meet Elliot also today, so Billie was exhausted for most of the next few days after running around chasing after the pair of trouble makers. Which really wasn't the best thing to be doing so soon after the C-Section, but as i'm posting this belatedly i can say she's doing fine now.
Cameron got his hands on the camera and took some strange photo's but i think there's one or two i can crop that might turn out well, I'll have a look and see what i can do later.
Thanks to everyone for the gifts, hope you like the pictures we passed on.

First Day back at work

Damn did it drag! I realy was starting to think that going back to work would be a welcome change, as in all honesty despite how much i love being at home with Billie we do grate on each other after a couple of weeks soley in each others company. Especially when we've been doing "EVERYTHING" together... i guess we just run out of things to talk about.
But every minute at work away from her and Elliot felt like an hour. By the time i finally got home at 5.30 i felt as though i'd worked a 24 hour shift. Not to mention that i was too tired to even watch Heroes which i was desperately wanting to watch this evening. All i can say is thank god for the V+ box.
We had visitors when i got home tonight, Auntie Mary had come to visit Elliot and also Auntie Jill with Sophie and Cameron.
Thanks to you all for vistiting, and thank you for the gifts (i'll post pictures when i remember to download the photo's from the camera).
