Will goes through his tests

Today was a busy day for Will, he had his 10 day checkup at the doctors... closer to 14 day really but never mind. He passed with flying colours. Then he had his hearing screening done by the health visitor... again no problems. Nicky and I were very pleased.

We have definitely classified Will as a hungry baby though... feeding every hour. On the flip side though, although he fights sleep all day, he has had a good couple of nights... hopefully a sign of things to come :-)

Also very positive he is gaining weight nicely, at one week, he had crept back up to 7lb 5oz from his lowest of 7 lb 2oz... just 70 hours later he was 7lb 10.5oz.. amazing.

I started an all Apple web presence solution, its just the easiest way, anyhow, website on its way, and over at mobile me some movies of Will.

Our son Will was one week old today

We can't believe how fast time is flashing past, probably the lack of sleep :-) We have already had a load of worry, as first time parents I understand this is perfectly normal. The good news is he is feeding well, and starting to get back towards his birth weight. It is amazing how well Nicky has taken to motherhood. I am struggling to keep up with things but trying hard.

Tomorrow we are going to register Will, so we need to figure out his middle name(s).

Our baby son was born today

Today at 09:55 our son Will was born. He weighed 7 lb 13 oz. The birth was quick but not easy, mother and son are recovering well. I am hopefully going to pick them up tomorrow. I can't believe this day has arrived. He is an amazing little baby, and Nicky and I are both already completely in love with him.

For Nicky and I this is a dream come true. After our sad news last summer, we have worked hard for this, and Nicky in particular has been a star. I am so proud of her. Here are some pictures.

I am looking forward to seeing them both again and I only just left the hospital :-)
