Here’s a picture of Edward looking cute in his first bib. I’m not quite sure why it has taken me four weeks to use a bib, I suppose muslins are just too easy to pick up and mop up spills. Yesterday was also the first time we wore socks and the first time we tried…
Day 28
Here we are sporting one of our new outfits bought by Grandad yesterday. As we don’t know when we’ll be able to go home we’ve registered with the local health service. Baby is now weighing in at 4940g – an increase of 970g since birth 🙂 I was discharged by the community midwife and will…
Day 27
Edward is official today as we managed to fill out a Declaration at the Register Office on the Isle of Wight. This will be forwarded to our local Register Office and we can finally get his birth certificate. We had a little shopping spree in Newport and bought some new clothes as the newborn clothes…
Tired
Another busy day spent taking the baby for a walk along the seafront, visiting daddy in hospital (with the baby who slept beautifully and quietly throughout) and lunch out followed by another hospital visit. Grandad is still visiting so spent plenty of time with our little man. I registered with the local midwives today. I…
Still marooned
Here is the little man sporting stripes on a visit to his auntie’s house earlier this week. We’re still stuck on the Isle of Wight and my husband had a big operation today. They finally diagnosed what’s wrong with him which is a start to his eventual recovery and us going home. It is strange…
Marooned
We’ve been marooned on the Isle of Wight since Saturday when my husband became too ill to drive us back to London after Easter. Fortunately we’re staying with my mum who is kindly looking after the baby during the night so I can catch up on sleep. My husband is spending every day in bed…
Another cute baby pic
We had our first outing today (with the help of my friend Sophie) to Wood Green. I needed to prove to myself that I could make it out of the house, manage the bugaboo (in the rain if necessary!) and get on the bus. Luckily it was all fine and the baby slept the whole…
Week 2
Eeekk, the time is going sooo quickly. Here’s a picture of baby, who now has a proper name, getting ready for his bath the other evening. I’m really enjoying spending time with the baby and my husband. The last time we spent this much time together was our honeymoon in 2008! Today we all went…
Week 1
I’m not quite sure where the time has gone but I am still the proud mum of a little week old baby. The last week has been a bit of a blur, consisting of nappy changes, lots of feeds and little sleep. My little one seems to sleep happily all through the day and then…
