Well it has been a while since I’ve written on the blog so I guess it’s my turn. So what’s been happening I hear you say?

We had some good news last week, the physio told us that she has seen excellent progress with Tomás and it looks like we will be reducing the weekly sessions from twice a week to just once. Also on the medical front, he had an ear test last week and they gave him the all clear for his hearing. So Praise the Lord on both accounts.

At the moment, my in-laws are here spending a few days with their grandson (they fly back on Thursday). Then this weekend we have a conference in church (friday evening, saturday all day and sunday morning) – watch this space to see how well Tomás behaves himself.

Apart from that things are just going by just fine. Unfortunately the big tour of Spain that was planned has not yet taken place due to Tomás’ weekly commitments at the physio. Hopefully once he goes once a week that will allow us to have a little chance for touring.

As far as when we are planning to return to the UK. It now looks like that we will be leaving here at the end of June. We are planning to move from our current flat in Estepona at the end of May and move into a little 1 bed flat in Fuengirola in June (no internet mind, but at least closer to church) Following that we are hoping to return to our flat in London and just see where it goes from there.

I guess that keeps you all uptodate for the moment. Until next time.

Finally, after much faffing, I’ve managed to get the video online, converted into a proper size and format. Watch this space though – now that I know what I’m doing (ish) we will probably put a few more videos on here. Click the “play” button to start movie. Enjoy.

Here’s something for the grandparents. I hope it works, it’s a little video of Tomas I did a few weeks ago but have just got around to putting it on the blog now : )

Hi, I thought it was about time I put a better picci of Tomas up instead of his miserable look in case you thought he was like it all the time! Having said that he has had reason to look like it as he had two doctors appointments last week. One was for his monthly check where he has to be weighed and pulled about a bit and the other was for his first major set of vaccines – 3 injections !!!Considering the trauma he was very good and didn’t cry too hard…

In fact he probably cried as much when I went to get his passport photo done. Needless to say it’s not a very flattering photo – just as well he won’t last him the rest of his life!

Mike is finding work alot more enjoyable – maybe due to the fact he only has three more working days to go – and we’ll be thinking about what to do when he’s finished. Meanwhile hope everyone is well and also I’d like to say congratulations to David and Sally on the birth of their daughter!!! : )))

Tomás – Slideshow

Just after I put him into his little cot, with his cute hat (provided by the hospital).
Doesn’t he just look adorable? In the arms of his mother this morning.

Last night at 6.05pm GMT we had a new addition to the Cartwright family. His name is Tomás Christopher Cartwright (Spanish for Thomas). He weighed 3.6kg and is doing very well. Liz is doing ok although experiencing some discomfort – we should be back home on wednesday. I’ve just got back from the hospital briefly to just freshen up and then go back there again.

Enjoy the photos.

Well it looks like the day has finally came upon us. A couple of hours ago Liz’s waters broke and we are off to the hospital (go go go!). Mother and baby are still in great health and we will keep you updated accordingly. Gotta go.
