Ouch!

I'm taking the opportunity to check in as I'm stuck in the bed with CC snoozing on my front face down on my boob! He has been pretty grizzly today so I'm letting him lie as an undisturbed sleep for him had been a rare thing of late. No sooner will he get settled when he gets scooped up and put in his car seat to kart his brothers around, or placed in his pram or vice versa!

Picking up on the title of the blog it has been a painful day for a couple of reasons. Firstly CC had his first jabs today (I can't believe that's 8 weeks passed already) he had a grumble, but bless him he settled pretty quickly and fell asleep (probably because he'd spent the whole morning awake and complaining!). He had only gained 2ozs though (compared to 14 the week prior) so I think I have to up my fluid intake. It would explain why he's been wanting to chomp every hour and a half - he's obviously trying to get my supply up!

The other victims of painful outcomes today have been objects surrounding Station House. We had severe gale force winds yesterday and BFS's Mini, a rather large beech tree, our shed contents and window, an outdoor container and teak patio set have all fallen foul. The mini had a large plastic play tower hurtled against it which left lovely divets, the tree has been uprooted (luckily it missed the house) and everything else was generally blown about and either battered or broken! I'm mostly gutted about the tree as it was the bonniest in the garden and it will take decades to establish another one to the same extent.
