Last week, we welcomed into the world our gorgeous baby boy Charlie!
Weighing in at 8lb7oz and after a four hour labour, it is so good to finally have him in our arms. To those who asked, yes – unfortunately I did still have my cold during labour but to be honest, I didn’t really think about it a lot except during the early stages – much more important (read=painful) things to concentrate on! The birth was quick and intense (after labouring for 20 hours with Mia all up, 4 hours was a bit of a shock to the system!) but wonderful in that it turned out exactly as I had hoped for, with just the gas to help me along.
It is such a joy to have him here now and I still stare at him wondering how on earth I could have possibly grown such a complete and perfect little person in only nine months. It is truly an amazing and wonderful thing.
When he cries he looks very much like his sister, but he is most definitely a boy version of her. Even now at just under a week old, he has changed so much already and even though the days are a bit of a blur just rolling into the next, I just want to breathe in every bit of his newness so that I can enjoy it while it lasts. I adore him…
Mia, of course, is besotted by him and reacts every single time he makes a noise (“bebe Sar-wee”) and loves to touch him and give him kisses all over. I even managed to capture some moments of him at just over one day old playing with his big sister and daddy:
My thanks go out to all who have wished us well and come to see us, it means the world to us – so thank you.
And also, I thank each and every client (and enquiring clients!) for your patience during this time and I will try and get to your messages and requests just as soon as I can!
