Needles and cake

28th July saw Chris' birthday and the first round of injections for the bubbas, so a bit of a mixed bag. We had a barbecue a couple of days beforehand. Matthew and Sophie appeared to sleep through most of it, but t'other Sophie and Leni made up for it. A taste of things to come.







We decided to take part in a clinical trial looking at combining the two injections babies currently get. Ironically, both Matthew and Sophie ended up in the control group, so got two jabs each in any case. Both took their jabs well, though Matthew predictably made more of a fuss.

After the jabs, Sophie looked pensive, presumably in case the big bad doctor turned up again with another needle.


Matthew, looking also somewhat nervous, though probably has more to do with the slowly dawning realisation that the big ugly monkey with the grey hair is not going to go away...


One note: the doctor mentioned in passing that fathers in Denmark can claim 8 MONTHS paternity leave, or a year on reduced pay. Amazing, if true.
