19lb 8oz!!!!

Our baby boy has got his first tooth coming through bless him but he's been really good. He's just been dribbling lots and chewing everything.

Jonathan is eating lots of solids now, he generally has 3 meals and snacks and has about 3 bottles in the day including his bedtime bottle. We got him weighed yesterday and he weighs 19lb 8oz. Such a chunky monkey.

I signed up to take my Biology Science GCSE using distance learning today. It costs a fair bit but I'm really looking forward to doing it, I will get my grade this time, I am determined.

Ireland

We deicided to go to Ireland for our honeymoon, partly because that's where Tony's Mum's side of the family are from but also neither of us had been there before.

We stayed in a holiday cottages in Bettystown, County Meath. The cottages have a private gate which led onto the beach. First we were in Honeymoon Cottage. It was very sweet but after a couple of days we had some technical issues. When I phoned the people who ran it they decided to put us in Rose Cottage. It was so much nicer and bigger. We want to go back again one day.

We went to Dublin, Battle of Boyne site, Bru na Boinne (mounds older than the pyramids to do with the soltice), Laytown Races (the only horse races on the sand) which we were given two free tickets for and we went to Belvedere House. We were really disappointed with Belvedere House but we really enjoyed the other parts of our honeymoon.

We went out to dinner on our 1 week anniversary. We went to a bar and grill. The food was gorgeous. For starters we shared some calamari. Then for mains Tony had lamb shank with spinach and creamy mash and I had Fillet steak salad. It was all so fantastic and such big portions we couldn't have a desert. We were too full.

Mrs Wiss!!

We did it we are now married!!!

The wedding day was amazing, everything went exactly how I planned it. I was surprisingly really calm in the morning although I couldn't really eat much, everyone bugged me until I had eaten a slice of toast. The only time I started feeling really nervous was after I had my dress on, we still had half an hour to wait before the car was due. Bryony got us playing word association to stop me from feeling sick with nerves. It worked. The car was gorgeous it was much better and comfier than I imagined.

When we arrived at Haldon Belvedere I just wanted to go up and start the ceremony but we had to have some photos done and also I had to go through a couple of things with the registrars. Finally we were allowed up but it seemed ages to get through the intro of my entrance music which was Greensleeves. The ceremony was perfect, neither of us fainted or had any problems saying our vows and Jonathan was being really good.



Next it was the trial of getting people organised for the photos. At the point when it was my families turn the were nowhere to be seen, until we looked up and saw them all waving at us from the roof of the castle. Finally we managed to get all the group photos done. The next thing was to get them to leave so that we could get some photos done of just the two of us.

The reception went perfectly apart from a bit of a mix up with the menus but it all got sorted in the end. Everyone loved the cake and was impressed that we made it ourselves.

We then went of to spend our wedding night in Coombe House. It was beautiful there we both wished we had booked it for longer than one night.
