Since my return from Paternity leave things are immediately back to how they were before I had time off work for mental health. This time he's even more (I can't think of the word right now but essentially argumentative and interrogative). I'm going nowhere in this business and the golden handcuffs ...

Found myself on the lookout for new jobs again.

They are so stupid. Also, they increase vehicle emissions by increasing the amount of time you end up using your brakes to control your speed. No one ever considered brake dust but it's really bad for you. There's an average speed 50mph section by Pontygof west of Abergavenney which, when travelling...

He's doing well thanks. He's slowly gaining better control of his tongue but we've been having difficulty getting his wind up which has given us genuinely sleepless nights.

Otherwise all good.. super chill child in the daytime

Sounds like they're attempting to help but they've gotten the wording all wrong IMO. You aren't allowed to have 2 friends anymore

All new drivetrain and bottom bracket for my mountain bike (Enduro Bearing MaxHit and SRAM GX AXS Transmission for those interested).

And some socks.

That's appalling mate.. I've never understood how people in offices don't understand that when you sum all the hours, if it's over the max, it is too much and cannot be done.

Thank you all so much!

Big Brother is being incredible.
Little Brother is being incredible.
Mummy is being incredible.

So far I'm loving being a family of 4 plus our dog and my heart has definitely grown to accomodate the extra child to love.

Going home

We are being induced.. balloon going in then they're break the waters. After that we will reconvene if not making favourable progress

We are off to Triage due to no movements. 41 weeks today. We have all our hospital bags packed and ready to chuck in the car. Understandably Mrs Cav is stressed.

Ooh 15 minutes from me. Take a wander around Roccoco Gardens.. it is beautiful. There's also a deer park nearby but I don't recall the name.

Sounds like exhaustion to me

Yeah I believe 3% of babies are born on their due date and 85% after... UK stats.

Also I think the due date in France is 41 weeks... so different countries have different opinions anyway

Baby Cav #2 still hasn't arrived.

I also fell down the stairs today very narrowly avoiding taking out Mrs Cav too.

I'm not saying the two things are related... but maybe they are in my subconscious

My son... he's got his first fat lip and it's a WHOPPER! He fell onto the top of the footboard of his bed on his lip/teeth. The amount of blood and instant ballooning was quite astonishing.

Send him Paul's way....

Unexpectedly it worked.. baby was successfully flipped out of the breech position! Honestly, I couldn't watch. It's BRUTAL. Midwife did all her things to monitor baby and ensure all was safe to go ahead. 2x Doctors came in, did their scan to confirm position of baby and determined their plan before ...

I'm off to hospital with my Wife shortly for an ECV.. manual manipulation to turn baby from breech position.

Slight chance of emergency caesarean. <50% change of desired outcome. We are already booked in for a caesarean on Monday if it doesn't work today.
