Ouch

First immunisations today. I was a bit shocked by the size of the needles, I’d have been worried if it was for me but for a baby it looked quite scary. However Ifor took it all in his stride and I’m sure has forgotten it all by now. One mother in the waiting room was there with her mother in tow. The grandma was there to take the baby in to see the nurse as the mum was too frightened of needles to be in there, that’s quite a phobia.

The other ouch of parenthood is the constant expense. I read something the other day that said that babies cost £8000 in their first year. We’re trying to not spend anywhere near that much, which I love ebay and freecycle so much.  There are some silly baby products out there to spend your cash on, the tummy tub is a case in point. Babies do look cute sat in the tub, but at the end of the day it is still £20 for a bucket.
