Announcing the arrival of my gorgeous little man, Jude! He arrived around 2 weeks early and took us all by surprise, though at a whopping 9 lb 1 0z, mum's rather glad he didn't have another few weeks to grow!!!These pics, cute as they may be, are deceptive, as sleep isn't high on his list of priorities, especially at night!
So please excuse my absence here for a bit, while I pry my eyelids open with match sticks most days...
Will try to keep you all updated as often as I can :)
While I was in hospital, life went on for other people, especially my buddy Fiona Lowe who has finalled in the RBY (Romantic Book of the Year).
Congrats Fiona! I loved 'Her Miracle Baby', a truly gorgeous book.
Can you tell I've got babies on the brain at the moment?
Ooooohhhhhh now even I HAVE TO SAY HE IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all that hair!!!! You clever girl Nic! Now just you sleep when you can and we'll all be thinking about you...
Can't wait to get to *see* you both! x x x
Congratulations on the arrival of your gorgeous boy. Sorry he isn't keen on sleeping - I know what that's like. If it's any consolation, everyone told me when I was blessed with non-sleepy twin boys that they often turn out to be extremely bright kids!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteTry and catch some zzzzs when you can. I think the house will run on 'Jude' time for a few weeks:-)
Nic, he's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKelly

ReplyDeleteCatch the zzz when you can and enjoy him.

Congratulations!! What a nice early surprise!! He's lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is just gorgeous!!!! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Nic, what a handsome guy you've got there! I had bald babies so the hair is just precious!
ReplyDeleteI too had a toddler home that wanted to stay up all day and a baby who wanted to stay up all night. Make sure you get some rest, chicklet!
Congrats!
Wow! He is beautiful, Nicola. Congratulations. I love his hair, just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck,
Marcy
Congratulations Nicola! :)
ReplyDeleteWith that mop of hair you must have had some considerable heartburn...!

Nicola, huge congrats...he's a little dote! Hope you get some rest in between the awake bits!

Look at all that hair! And that mouth. Oh, I love baby mouth. And baby feet.
ReplyDeleteAnd you...should be sleeping. Or at least horizontal. Do you guys have Crayola Color Wonder Markers? They color only on the special coloring books, not on furniture, walls, etc. Great to give the big one so you can take a breather.
I'd say there's a pound in each cheek!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Nic,
He's divine, now let's all pray to the sleep fairy for a visit soon so he gets the hint.
Hope you're resting too.
Love Ebony
Hi Nic,
