Ruth and John are pleased to announce that David Keith Dennison Arnold, formerly known as Splodge, made his entrance at 10.04pm on Sunday 30th May 2010. He weighed in at a hefty 9lb 15oz (4.51kg), came with a complete set of fingers and toes and is doing really well. Ruth is recovering well from the birth, which was very straightforward, and Catherine is coping well with being a big sister.
We’re hoping to record the next episode of “Just Relax” as soon as possible, but in the meantime both John and Ruth are using “AudioBoo” as a means of recording their thoughts and experiences. John’s “Boos” can be found at http://audioboo.fm/floyduk and Ruth’s are at http://audioboo.fm/r2uk
Today we get into a bunch of stuff about how baby number 2 is developing, how Catherine is pushing her luck at bedtime and how on earth you form a government when nobody can decide who they want in charge.
Today is a catch-up show all about what’s been going on in our life and Catherine’s life for the last, very eventful month. Lots and lots of dramatic stuff including Catherine’s move to a big girl bed, building wardrobes, a holiday with friends and a second febrile convulsion.
This is the show where we tell you the sex of baby number 2. Sorry it took a long time to come out. John literally had to re-build his iMac before he could edit it. And iMacs have no user servicable parts! Music this week is from Kenny Chesney, Don’t Blink, buy it on iTunes.
On today’s show we talk all about Christmas and our little ones including how Santa “works” and appropriate gifts for an athiest. We also talk about Catherine falling down the stairs (at last) and answer a clutch of listener emails. Music this week is by Lee Ann Womack – I Hope You Dance
On today\’s show we\’ve got more updates on how Catherine and Splodge are doing as well as talking about both John and Ruth\’s jobs. Then we get into more emails and talk about friends without children, music, bun fights, second babies and swine flu!
