Update on Ruben.
There has been a bit of trouble these last few days with little Ruben...but it seems like he is going to be fine.
He's had quite bad jaundice which is now pretty much cleared up but the doctors are still going to be keeping an eye. He has also had an infection and has been put on a five day course of antibiotics, ending on Tuesday (which means he has to stay in hospital until then). To top it off they found out that he has a underactive Thyroid, which has been affecting his digestion quite a lot but thankfully, now they've discovered it, there should be simple medication he'll have to take to sort it out... just feeling a bit sorry for his parents because they know he'll have the problem for the rest of his life. I am just glad they found out when they did because on Thursday (the day he went into hospital) he really was quite ill, his heartrate was very low and his responses weren't up to much...and the doctors said things could have ended up a lot worse. =\
My dad went to visit yesterday and apparently things are improving a lot. Abbie says Ruben had the best feed he has Ever had yesterday (probably due to his Thyroid medication) and his heartrate is right up where it should be. Hopefully I'll be able to visit them really soon, hate to think how stressed out my sister and her boyfriend, Harry, are at the moment...
I'll post more once I've heard what's going on...

The past week or so has been fantastic...and more is yet to come!
A little explanation of why I am so damn hyper at the moment!
Wednesday 21st
Given, my Mum and Brother did forget to get me from college, which pissed me off a little bit....However, what made that day AWESOME was the fact that Ruben (my lovely new nephew) was born! Also had a pretty good time at climbing, greatly enjoyed watching two of the people I know there have it out with eachother about whether BMXing or Track Cycling is more for pussies. Lol.
Thursday 22nd
Woke up all excited at the prospect of meeting little Ruben which put me in a Great mood for college. Took my camera in and got some truly fun pictures of all my crazy friends, especially Alfie who made an excellent ninja/spy/lion =]
Went to TKMaxx with dearest Ella after college for chats and dress shopping for the Christmas Ball. Didn't manage to get anything myself, but in a way I'm glad because it gives me an excellent excuse to be girly again... something I am getting fonder of as the days go by!
So a note to anyone else looking for a dress at the moment: I'm probably free!
Whizzed home from TKMaxx and went straight to St Marys, all hyper 'n' stuff. Got there around 6:45 and I believe my words when entering the teeny curtained off bit were 'AAAAWWWWWWWWWWW, WOW!'...fairly quietly mind, he was only a day old. I think we left at about 7:45 but I didn't stop thinking about him for aaages... wouldn't shut up the next day at college! Apologies to anyone I annoyed with my 'D'y'wannaseeapictureofmynephew?!!' stuff.
=D
Friday 23rd
This day was excellent primarily because I couldn't get Ruben out of my head, he is so unbelievabley cute.
Anyway, this was not all that brightened up my Friday!
Had one of the best sessions I've had at climbing for ages which was made even better by a girl I haven't seen for about 8 months turning up and saying she's back until April! This girl is called Alex, about 23 years old and seriously one of the friendliest people you could meet. Before she left (to go to Alaska to study some birds and stuff) we were at a really similar ability at climbing and could always encourage eachother really well, so I'm very much looking forward to having her back and getting some properly decent climbing done finally!
Saturday 24th
As usual I spent Saturday with my lovely Dad =]
He's a bit great.
We went and got my moped all sorted out after its really rather traumatic start to the week then went to Sainsbury's where I bought a whole bunch of chocolate! Wahoo =P
After coming home from Dad's, I had a quick blast on MySpace and then the wonderful giggle pot that is KATHERINE LEADBETTER came round for a girly sleepover.
It was faaaantastic.
Chocolate, wombats, hot teaspoon, rownies, port & lemon, more chocolate, singstar and a nice big serving of Fortune Drive. Enough said.
Sunday 25th
WOKE UP NEXT TO KATHERINE, SCORE.
lolzorz.
I had a bit of a pampering session on Sunday morning...needed it! Felt soooo much better afterwards =P
Then, you'll never guess who I went to visit. Here are some clues: he's not even a week old and his name sounds like n00b-en! That's right! RUBEN! Also got to see my wonderful 9 year old nephew Oscar who is apparently 'always asking after Sophie'! Yaaaaaaay. I've decided to take him to see 'The Golden Compass' as a reward for being cute to his Auntie, haha.
Sunday was nice =]
Monday 26th This one was the most exciting...]
Kinda boring morning at college BUT I got to leave at one so I could go to London to see QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, supported by THE EIGHTIES MATCHBOX B-LINE DISASTER!!!!!! Weeee!
Queens of the Stone Age have been my favourite band for quite some time now and Eighties Matchbox are in my top 5 so, as you can imagine, I WAS VERY EXCITABLE. Not to mention, it was at Brixton Academy...the best venue in the country!
Was at the front, jammed against the barrier (which I now have quite impressive bruises from!), screaming the words as best as I could for the whole of both sets. Eighties Matchbox aren't very well known but my god, do they put on a good show!? Went to see them at the Wedgewood Rooms about a month ago but the sound quality wasn't up to much and the band did try their best but obviously it's a bit difficult to get a crowd Really going when they can't hear the words properly. The 25 minute set they played at Brixton was better than the whole Wedge gig. The singer, Guy McKnight, is such a great showman... got in the crowd, let everyone grab at him, even got his sparkley scarf tangled up in his mic lead hahaha. So yeah, I was very impressed with them. Can't wait to see them again.
& Well, Queens of Stone Age.... What can I say?!! I love those guys so very much.
Started with Sick, Sick, Sick (from Era Vulgaris, one hell of a sexy song) and went on to play literally all their best songs... Do it Again, Hangin' Tree, Little Sister, Burn the Witch, No One Knows, Go With the Flow, 3's and 7's, Battery Acid, Misfit Love etc! I was ecstatic for every second of it, my throat tasted like blood afterwards and everything.
It was such a memorable gig... and the best part is that I'm seeing them again in February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAY!!!!! Cannot bleedin' wait.
Tuesday 27th
Didn't do a great deal today but still feel well happy.
I've seen lovely people, done some alright work, listened to some excellent music, cooked and eaten what I must say was a very enjoyable dinner so the day has gone well.
Also found out today that Fortune Drive are playing in Southampton on Saturday night and I'm going to go help out. Should be awesome tbh. I love them =D
Not that much could really upset me right now, for once!
Just be warned, I might randomly shout and hug people lots this week... Just ignore me!
Hehe

I feel real all of a sudden.
Ruben.
Two simple syllables that are going to mean more to me than most other things for the rest of my life.
He is my sister Abigail's new son, born yesterday. Exactly a month early but it seemed as though it was the right time...strange how nature always appears to know what needs to happen and when.
I went to see him for the first time this evening and despite the fact that he weighs little more than a bag of flour (born 4lb4, quite the midget), the little prune-face managed to completely change my current outlook.
You know how sometimes you can't help but sit and ask all those 'big questions'...
-Why am I here?
-Where is my life going?
-Am I even real?
-Is anything real?
Well today, those questions seemed to be answered.
Seeing Ruben for the first time and talking about how amazing pregnancy, birth and babies in general are, I thought to myself 'Of course he's real,' because how could something as special and complex as him really be a figment of my imagination? The detail of him; his fingernails, eyelashes, folded little ears and beautiful shiny eyes are just too perfect for me to have imagined. I can safely say, from now on, that the only thing I know I have to do during my lifetime is have children. It's my purpose. Who knows when or who with at this minute in time but it definitely has to happen. I knew already that I really want kids, it's only actually encountering one of the helpless tiny things that has put it in perspective.
Heck knows, maybe this is all hormones Ruben was secreting getting in my brain and forcing me to get broody... nevertheless, I'd still want some.
Babies are fun =]
So yeah, a tip for the future: stay away from my womb!
[Sorry if this all seems sappy, it's just the way I feel...]

Yet again I've managed to find something to do instead of my homework...
So, here I begin my blog.
Heck knows if I'll pay any attention to it!
I'd like to think I'll write in it all the time, record every little thought in my puzzled mind...but because I'm quite a lazy person, I doubt I will.
Tomorrow is the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's diamond wedding anniversary.
What an achievement!
I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be with someone for 60 years... That's like spending nearly four of my lifetime in a relationship, in love even. Blimey!
Is it weird that I'm jealous of the Queen now?
I have to go and do homework with Katherine over messenger...
Toodle-pip x
