I'm sorry for not keeping this blog up to date. Have I already used the excuse about time whizzing by? Ok then, I'll try and think of another one. Anyway, I've been saving myself for a really important entry - today young Thomas got himself a sister. I have a wonderful little daughter - Sophie Georgina Davies was born unexpectedly at 1.47pm weighing 5lb 6oz. That's pretty light but she is more than a month early and the weight is not bad for her gestational age.
By sheer coincidence Kate and I were going round to Wrexham Maelor Hospital anyway this morning for a scan so the nurses could assess whether Kate would be up to a natural birth (as Thomas was by Caesarean). As we were driving there, Kate suffered terrible pains in her tum.
At first I thought it was just last night's curry but the pains grew stronger and as we pulled into the car park we decided to go directly to the labour ward. This, as it turned out, proved to be the right decision!

Thomas is changing by the day and becoming bigger and bigger. He's looking more like a little boy now than a baby.

Yes, Thomas is off to nursery today - it's only a trial run to see how he gets on. He will start going regularly in September when Kate's maternity leave runs out. But it's sort of scary for his parents because we've never left him in the hands of strangers before and we're a bit jumpy about it.

Apols for lack of entries. Life just seems to whizz by with hardly a moment to spare. Hard to believe I'm 40 today and in three days' time Thomas will be five months old. He's changing too - very much a baby still in some ways but he's on his way to becoming a proper little boy.
