Big bruiser. Phwoar.

My first health visitor came this morning, to weigh me and to give Mum loads of leaflets.

Last Thursday Louise-the-Can't-Be-Too-Careful-Midwife had predicted that I would weigh just over 6 lb by after the weekend. And Roz, the antenatal teacher, had said that by my due date I'd be 6 lbs 1 oz or maybe 6 lbs 2.

So I surprised everyone this morning by weighing in at 2.92 kg - that's 6 lbs 7 oz!

Everyone's glowing with pride, but I'm not telling them that the only reason I'm packing in the protein is that Mum and Dad have fixed up to meet with loads of new parents from their NCT class on 4th August (Dad's birthday). And... all the babies born so far have been girls! There's Dana, of course, but I haven't yet met Gracie, Isla, Chloe or Emily Ann yet. They'll all be gorgeous and fluffy and dressed in pink. I desperately don't want to be the weediest one there if I'm the only boy!
