Marriott hates babies

Posted by Ceri Davies Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:05:00 GMT

For the last couple of weeks we’ve been taking the boy to Water Babies, where they help babies to gain confidence in the water, teach them how to grab for a static object when they fall in, and finally work up to getting them swimming on their own underwater.

The sessions are for half an hour each week at Cardiff Marriott hotel’s leisure club, and have been held there for a couple of years. This is apparently all too much for the members of the club, a number of whom have complained about the sessions and had the classes ejected. Not only does this mean that 20 sets of parents have to rejuggle their weekly schedules and travel arrangement, but due to the new venue being far away from my work, it means that I can no longer watch my son swimming.

So, shame on the members at the Cardiff Marriott leisure club, and shame on Cardiff Marriott for not having enough sense of righteousness to tell whichever miserable bastards complained about babies learning to swim to get a life.

And with that, I have other things to do…

That’s the fantastic news from today’s scan. All being well, it will be the last time we see him until he’s born.

We got a good look at all of him, and we’re definitely looking at a boy.

Some good news that I can finally let out of the bag:

Our very own Darth Vader. We are calling him Hermann for now, though the sex is currently uncertain.
