CAKE - 8 WEEKS OLD

I was gutted this morning when the scales showed that I haven't lost a pound! I have been reasonalby good the last 10 days or so, so was hoping to have lost at least one pound. Ah well, best try harder I think. I need to get my heart rate up to burn some fat. Currently I am doing a lot of physical exercise but it is mainly lifting, so I'm building up muscle again but remaining fat.



Measurements:

Weight = 12st 11lbs
Tummy = 95cm
Upper arm = 29cm
Upper leg = 63.5cm
Ankle = 24cm
Neck = 33cm



Leo was weighed today too. He is now 11lb 13oz which is average for his age. He was also measured, although not that accurately as the health visitor didn't pull his leg straight, at 60cm which is on the 91% line in his red book. So he is doing really well.



The night routine is still going well. He tends to settle around 8pm, sometimes all by himself but usually with a little help. He then doesn't wake until 2am ish although last night it was 12:06am. Very accurate I know but I just remember seeing it on my phone. I do always check what time he wakes anyway. Then it was around 5am and Ellis was awake too!



As Leo was 8 weeks today, I took some macro pictures of his face. I will do the 2 monthly pictures as well.









I did a short video yesterday as I don't want to just suddenly realise that I missed a huge chunk of his life. I love looking back at all the stuff I did when Ellis was a baby. I would love to see what I was like as a baby so I hope the boys like it too when they are older.





Leo pretty much remains in a vest and grow but occasionally I have been putting him in an outfit. I really like this one bought for him by Huw, Nicky, Evie and Ned. It makes him look older though so I quickly put him back into a grow.



I have my 6 week check tomorrow, even though it is actually 8 weeks ago, and Leo has his check and first jab. I hope it goes okay. Will do an update.

He has also had the snuffles for the last few days and has sneezed a lot today. I have cleared his nose out quite a bit with a cotton bud and that seems to help his breathing. He hasn't had any problems feeding which is good news.

Feeling sulky about my weight, so in order to make myself feel better, I ate some more cake! Go figure!
