Eventually got around to starting this - did plan to do it from the moment I found out I was pregnant then life got in the way, as normal. Never mind only 10 months late but got there eventually.
Zak was born on 18 January 2007, at 20.08 at Sunderland Royal Hospital. He was induced after 36 hours of my waters breaking. A bouncing 9lb 1oz. A happy healthy boy that caused a few delivery problems but got here never the less.
Today
I had drawn the short straw and had to do the 3am feed, never a good time apart from rolling in from the nightclub (distant memory now). He fell asleep whilst feeding and we were both back in bed by 4am. Daddy got up for the next one at 7.30, and his sister Teg and brother Oscar were already awake. Mammy got a lie in and didnt surface til 10am. Everyone fine, Oscar on PS2, Teg on pc and Zak just stirring.
Zak ready for his next bottle at 11am, followed by some play time on his new lotty ladybird play mat. It only arrived yesterday and everyone loves it, has dangly cuddly toys that have been named and sounds on each leg.
He eventually fell asleep in time for the rest of us to have dinner, its normally done in shifts but the timings were on today. Had to tidy out the cupboard under the stairs for his new toy, baby's seem to take over the place!!!
After lunch everyone arrived together, his Aunty Sue and Uncle Grant first followed by Grandma and Grandpa - my family is besotted with him as its the first grandchild. He was asleep but soon woke up with the noise. Was cuddled by Aunty Sue and Grandpa before having his dinner by Aunty Sue. Grandpa and Grandma left with Teg and Oscar to take the dog Jake for a walk before being took back to mammy's house.
Zak's had a viral infection this week, which has resulted in huge pumps and runny poos, very smelly! It also means he wakes with wind pains and has only slept for 10 minutes at a time today.
Its nearly 6pm now, and his mammy has got one hour before the next feed time, for herself for a change.
Bye for now.
