Aaron's Blog

After being 7 days overdue, baby boy Aaron decided that he wanted to be born into the World in double quick fashion on Wednesday 4th May at 6:40am (Jedi Day – May the 4th be with you).  Kelly only went into labour at about 3:15am so it was very quick compared to the 17 hours it took Ben to be born, and she was practically fully dilated by the time we got into the hospital!  So we were both glad that we left home when we did.

The birth was carried out with no unusual complications, with Aaron being fully fit when he arrived.  He was a large 8lb 7oz in weight, which was 1lb 3oz bigger than Ben was, so no wonder Kelly’s belly looked quite large! 😉

Once he was born, he had his usual checks (and so did Kelly) and they were eventually discharged at about 12:30pm, which was nice and quick.  So they were only in hospital for about 7 hours.

Aaron is a lovely little baby with a very loud set of lungs!  We aren’t sure who he takes after yet, though he does have lovely blue eyes the same as Ben and Mummy.  He had a good amount of dark hair and is a very big wriggler.  He also wants to eat all the time (so takes after Daddy and Gramps!) 😉

A special mention to Grandma who helped out with driving us around during the day and for looking after Ben when Aaron was being born!

Here are some photographs from Aaron’s first day. Enjoy!
