It's A Boy!

Today's Try Stampin' on Tuesday creation, has been made for some friends of ours. Who seem to have been pregnant forever! Poor love glad its not me, madness in the winter but being pregnant when its hot...no thanks!! 

She gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy Tom, on the 10th August. We haven'e been to see the little cutie yet as they have a lot of family, fingers crossed for this weekend xx

Anyhoos, the reason behind this image....Our friend is the kinda Dad who just does the fun bits, no nappy changing, feeding etc unless he is on his own with bubbs. If anyone else is around they always end up doing it lol....so this image just seemed perfect!

Don't forget there is a sketch to follow, you will find it here or scroll down to the end of my post. You have the option of the theme which is HAPPY!

GOAL!!!!!

First things first...update on Nico! He is eating & playing now thankfully, but still hasn't got much energy. The other night when we had all that rain, he decided he wanted to go outside at 3am. So there I am standing in the street with a t-shirt on chasing a skunk in the rain!! lol it must have made him feel better though as all he wanted to do for the next hour or so is play lol!!

So thank you for all your texts, FB messages, email & phone calls he is on the mend xx

Hedgehugs Just For You!

Well what an awful week we had had. Nico has been really sick with a respiratory tract infection. Took him the vets on Tuesday, he had anaesthetic, mouth, throat checked all ok except throat swollen. Had x-ray which showed an infection, also had his bloods taken. Thankfully the vet gave him an injection of antibiotics, as since he has come home we haven't been able to get any in him!! Has been sick & not eaten until today when he ate his scrambled egg breakfast & kept it down. Yay so fingers crossed my boy is on the mend!!
