Introducing...

...Rowan Patrick. Born 9/11/11 at 2.20pm. Not quite as an impressive a birthday as the 11/11/11. The local newspaper even managed to find a baby at the private hospital up the road who was born at 11 minutes past 11 on the 11/11/11.

But we think he's pretty cute even without the super-cool birthday. And doing very well. He started breastfeeding while I was in recovery after the Caesarean (the first time I'd been able to have a new baby with me in recovery so that was very exciting for me) , his blood glucose levels were excellent for the first 24 hours, and we are now home getting used to the new addition. A thunderstorm is passing over but it doesn't sound like it will amount to very much.

Rowan is now sleeping soundly in his new bed upstairs. So now let the sleepless nights begin.

Whenever I have come home with a new baby, it always feels a bit weird for the first couple of days. Remembering that last time I was at home, I was pregnant. There was one less child to deal with. Realising that the new one is going to be with us for a very long time. But I always get a teeny bit emotional when I arrive home and it's all new and changed from what it was before.

Hope everyone else out there has had a good week.
