At 3.50 today, Jess has got her third set of immunisations. I'm looking forward to this about as much as I would look forward to root canal work, and wish I could have them on her behalf. Still, in all other respects she is thriving. Took her to baby clinic yesterday, and at 20 weeks, she weighs 16lbs 1oz. Good girl!
Today is one of those days just to be got through I think. At least having Jessicat's grandparents down means we have got some company for our post-injection misery. I'm looking forward to a BIG glass of wine and curling up in bed with a good book (my addiction to Caro Fraser novels continues apace).

A blog about the books I share with my daughter
About Me
- Val
- Bristol, United Kingdom
- My daughter,Jessica, was born in November 2006. I am a voracious reader myself, and interested in all kinds of different books, including books for young children. I thought it would be interesting if I kept an online diary for my daughter focussing on her development, and the books we share together. If you come across my blog, please say hello, or recommend a book that you think that Jess and I might enjoy reading together.
