3 weeks old

Im 3 weeks old tomorrow and when Mummy took me to the clinic to get weighed I was 11lb 14 1/2 oz thats a 20oz weight gain in 7 days...wow! and I have gained over 2lb since birth.
I eat a lot and sleep a lot, im usually awake in the evenings.

BIRTH REGISTRATION

Today Mummy & Daddy took me to register my birth, so I am now officially Rowan Thompson.
We had some visitors today but because im such a sleepy head I dont really know people are coming to visit me.
Here is me sleeping on Mummy, I love cuddles.

WEIGH-IN

I got weighed this morning and am now 10lb 9 1/2 oz, so have gained lots of weight in the last few days.
We have now been discharged from the midwife.
Today my big brother Riley fed me from a bottle...it was strange but as long as I got my milk I didnt mind.

11 days old

Im 11 days old today, Im quite a sleepy baby compared to what my big brother was. Mummy quite likes it though because we have lots of cuddles.
I have my eyes open a lot more now and today I have been trying to make noises and sometimes a nice noise come out.

I have had my 1st bath, I shared my bath with Riley and he helped to wash me. Mummy & Daddy expected me to cry lots but I didnt. Here is a picture of my 1st bath.....

BIRTH STORY

On Wednesday 22nd Mummy had mild contractions most of the day but they were not getting stronger or regular. So Mummy walked up & down the stairs and did lots of housework to encourage baby out.

At about 8pm I had a 'show' when getting out the bath, from then on the pains got worse and worse and by midnight I needed to ring the hospital, I stayed at home for a while longer but then Daddy rang Nanny Montfort to come out and stay with Riley as he was asleep.
We got to hospital at 01:10 and was assessed and was about 3-4cm dilated but my waters were about to break, so went into a delivery room at 02:00, I dont think the midwives expected things to progress so quickly because my waters broke then needed to push and baby Rowan was born at 03:17.
It didnt seem that quick at the time for me and the contractions were MEGA painfull and so was the pushing, thanks to gas & air and lots of back rubbing from Daddy. I managed to do it. (asked for something stronger but labour progressed so quick there was no time).
Rowan weighed 9lb 14oz which shocked everyone.


After the birth I felt exhausted, was in shock and my legs were shaking. After a small sleep I went into the bath and felt much better.
We were allowed to go home as soon as we got Rowans blood results back.
By 07:30 we were back home to greet Nanny and Riley (who was just waking up).

HERE IS OUR GORGEOUS NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY....ROWAN THOMPSON!
