Hospital Visit and Christmas Shopping

Natalie and Mum came to town for Christmas shopping over lunch, taking advantage of Dad's works bus into town. This was our first test of feeding her out and about, although we ended up using the work kitchen rather than trying to feed her in town. She did not need a feed while Dad was in town, and Mum was too tired to stay in town when Dad returned to work, so we all came back to Dad's work on the bus. We had a check up appointment at the hosptial later in the afternoon. The hosptial only gave us one days notice as I think they had forgotten us and were fitting us in last minute.

We arrived on time at 15:00, but were not actually seen until 16:00. This meant that by the time we were finished, the rush hour had started. Added to the Christmas shopping traffic and we were stuck in terrible traffic for over 1 hour trying to get back to Dad's work. Natalie was well overdue for her next feed by this time, and not at all happy. So we had to feed her at Dad's work before going home. Natalie cried all the way home from Cambridge too. We were all completely exhausted by the time we got home. Had a fish and chip supper and then Mum and Natalie fell asleep on the sofa before Dad finally put everyone to bed after midnight.

Natalie now weighs 2.960Kg (6lbs 8oz).
