Aaron's Blog

Aaron is now one week old, and we don’t know where the time has gone!

The first few days and nights were quite hard as he was always hungry, so we were up until the middle of the night trying to settle him down.   As the days progressed, we have started to get into a better routine where we are all actually getting some sleep at night – even Aaron is sleeping for about 2-3 hours at a time during the night!

We have had several visits from the mid-wife and everything has been OK.  He lost a bit of weight when 3 days old, but this was normal, and it was only a few oz.  The next time he was weighed – a few days later – he had put on nearly all his weight again, so that was great!  The mid-wife also checked him over, and Kelly also, and both were given the all clear.

Aaron was registered at the Plymouth Registry Office on Wednesday 11th May, so we now have his birth certificates.  The same day we also went and got pasties to eat on Dartmoor (obviously Aaron didn’t have pasties!) so it was Aaron’s first little trip out for a picnic in the car.  He seemed to enjoy it as he slept nearly all the time he was in the car, apart for waking up for some food! (he is a guzzler!).

A lot of the family have visited us over the past week, and it was good to see them all.  They all thought Aaron was gorgeous and adorable.

We have received lots of cards and presents from everyone, so thank you to you all!
