Greatly loved and will be missed

Today is also a day to celebrate Auntie Beats life and try to think of all the happy times we had together as we know she wouldn´t want us to be sad. We have some wonderful photos from our wedding that we have uploaded. She will be missed and thought about often and Connor will learn all about Auntie Beat as he grows up.

connor is three months

Connor had his three month check up today at the Doctors .He now weighs 5.1kgs thats 11.2lbs for all the oldies out there .That is a little under the average weight of what the charts say is the "norm" but Dr Fiedler doesn´t seem bothered so neither are we.He is now 61cm long and that is 4cm longer than the "norm".It seems like he may be tall in later life.He also had his second set of jabs today even though he has had a cold and a cough last week .But he is definatley feeling better as he screamed the place down.In Germany the also measure circumference of his head and that is 41cm well above average ;He needs all that room for his brains.He is sleeping through the nights most of the time on average 7hrs a night.He enjoys playing with his spider and he smiles and laughs alot.

connors ten weeks old already

Well ten weeks have gone really quickly.Connor had his first set of jabs and mummy and daddy had a sleepless night lets hope the next set in two weeks arent quite so bad.He also had his first Journey in his car seat to visit Alan and Peter .This was also his first sleep over.He also had the last visit from the midwife unless we need any advice.We cant believe how much he has grown and how much he has changed.He loves to play on his playmat and espically loves his spider.

Bed times are made alot easieer by his mobile that grandma and grandad ward bought him but mummy and daddy are getting fed up with the tune.We can tell how much he has grown by the fact he is now in nappies that are for 5kg to 9kg.Time to go now heres one more photo his mummys favourite.

Connor´s One Month Birthday

Hello again yesterday was Connors one month birthday and he had his first check-up with his new doctor Dr Fiedler. Dr Fiedler thought he was fantastic and doing really well, Connor has grown 4cm and put on nearly 1 kilo and his head is 2cm bigger. While he was there Connor aslo had a scan of his hips and they were fine but the best news of all was that Dr Fiedler couldn´t hear Connors little heart murmer any more.

We also have Connors Nanny Robinson and Uncle Neil visiting at the moment and they like everyone else think he is fatastic. They have both enjoyed loads of cuddles . Uncle Neil is also going to help decerate Connors bedroom this week if mummy (yellow) and daddy (blue) can agree on a colour.
Well ta ta for now Connor sends his love to everyone especially his cousins Caitlin, Ryan, Marc, Emma, Jessica and Paul. Loads of love from us both to.

Connor has had his first visitors from England when his Grandma and Grandad Ward came to visit. He really had fun and enjoyed lots of cuddles with both of them. We were very thankful for all the help they gave us to I don´t think our house has ever been so tidy. We think they both had a really good time to.

Connor is putting on weight really well. He has now added about 800 gramms and has nearly lost all of his jaundice and he has his next check up with the doctor next week.

Elaine had visitors from work and they all thought Connor was really cute and Anita didn´t want to give him back and after that nights sleep (or lack of) we were almost tempted (only joking). Connor is now looking forward to a visit from his other Granny and Uncle Neil at the weekend and we will let you know how that goes.

So ta ta for now

Connor is here !!

The day we have been waiting for for ages is finally here (all be it 16 days early). At 3:52 am on the 4/01/08 little Connor popped out of his mummies tummy after 15 hours of labour. He was 3170 gramms (7lb for the oldies amoung you) and 51 cm long.
Connor and his fablious mummy came home from the hospital today and we are trying to settle into a routin. Connor still has a little touch of jaundice so is a little tired but he seems to like his new home.
Connors two new best friends Willow and Whiskas are a little unsure of what to make of him Whiskas is quite cilled out and Willow thinks an alien has arrived in the house.

Three Weeks To Go

hi everyone,

Well we thought it was about time we set up a blog with the baby almost here. We have had a really nice Christmas Elaine´s mum and Dad have been visiting and we had a lovely dinner Yesterday.
We are now in the final countdown to little Naomi or Connors arrival and we can´t wait. Elaine is very big now and finding everything a bit uncomftable but really healthy. She had her latest check up last Friday and everything is coming along really well the baby now is estimated at just under 3 kilos (6.6 lbs for the older generation) so it looks like the baby will be a good size. We also visited the maternity hospital on the 18th and were very impressed with how posh and high teck it seemed. It was also a bit scarey because it made us realise how close we are now.
Well I´ll sign off nów this was just a little test post to get things started we both wish you all a very happy and healthy new year.
