Just been to see Philip's new cousin / our new nephew. 4 days old and gorgeous. Parents look like they're doing great. Philip seemed to enjoy seeing the new baby so we're pleased, though there's a lot of difference between visiting one and one invading your house!

I've had slightly raised blood pressure and a couple of trips to the hospital for subsequent monitoring when it's happily calmed down so am trying to take things easy. Not the simplest of tasks with a demanding toddler in the house, but a great excuse for lots of sleeping and relaxing baths when opportunity presents. Next midwife appointment not til next Monday so they can't be too concerned.
