My little tall baby, 15lb5

Theres no hiding the fact that im a short arse (hense the blog title), and to me Craig is tall but in man terms he's not that tall. Sorry babe. So i was shocked today when Rio was measured to be told he is rather tall. His weighs 15lb5 which is fine for his age, at first she said compared to his height he was 'slight', to which i did the panicky mother thing and said "is that okay?" she assured me that its fine, his weights actually great and he looks really in proportion. Some babies are just small and really chunky arent they? dont get me wrong i love chunky little baba's but Rio just seems to be, well he looks more like a mini little boy, than a baby baby.

Next time i go im dragging Craig along too, im convinced they think he's my invisible friend as he hasnt yet made an appearance, and when they came to the house he was in the shower.

What else?..I got back into the saddle the other say for the first time since i fell pregnant. It went okay, im abit achy and i kinda walk like ive shit myself at the moment but i'll get there :) Being a mum changes it alot too. Yes i love being back around horses, and back in the saddle but theres this new worry there now. When your young your fearless, you bomb around fields on racey ponies without a care in the world. As you get older you realise the dangers abit more. And as you become a parent its not only you you need to think about.


So i may not be uberconfident anymore, but i enjoy what i do do. Theres nothing id like more than for Rio to grow up around horses too. Both me and Craig (im not sure if he wants this to be public knowledge or not) rode as youngsters so im secretly hoping he'd like to try it too. Dont get me wrong im not going to push him into it, just like im going to make sure Craig doesnt just push him into football..he can do what he wants, be what he wants and aslong as he's got that cheeky little smile on his face... im happy!

The horses in the pictures are just random ones next to my mums. If by the randomest chance in the world their yours, then i hope you dont mind me fussing over them when i pass they really are lovely.
