  • The First Journey

    With some trepidation the trip home approached. This would also be the first on an aeroplane for our Little Boy, and considering one half of the family suffers from bad ears on flights, it was a little worrying – especially as the flight is seven hours long. Purposely we had chosen a night flight as […]

  • A Song for a Smile

    I discovered a song my little boy likes.

  • Angel Spotting

    There is nothing much to look at on the ceiling in our apartment, or on any other ceiling usually. So what do babies look at? At first we thought he was looking at the light fitting but he wasn’t. Followed by laughing and chuckling as though he might be conversing with something, or someone. We […]

  • Another Learning Experience

    Being new parents we, like all other new parents, seem to have a tendency to get overly worried or protective. There is nothing wrong with this of course, and it is the norm but it does cause some difficult situations. In the middle of this week our Baby Boy started to regurgitate his milk – […]

  • The Birth II

    We were lucky enough to find a superb Gynaecologist who delivered our baby. Through every step of the process he helped and guided us while still managing to instil great confidence. The day eventually came when we parted ways – a healthy Baby Boy had been born and the Doctor moved on to other patients. […]

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • Facial Contortions

    Just over a day had passed and the decision to force our Little Boy to have his first movement was made. So a little before midnight, my son was taken away by the nurse and was screaming blue-murder down the corridor. When I got there, the nurse had stripped him and was giving him a […]

  • Beautiful Boy

    Last night we had a phone call that put back the time of the caesarian. Not psychologically the best thing that could have happened. So this morning we left for the hospital later then originally planned but no one had been able to sleep. After having been given a room, it was a waiting game […]

  • Is he coming?

    Early this morning, we phoned the hospital as we thought there may be a problem. They told us to come in straight-away. 11:16 Have arrived at the hospital, and have been hooked up to a heart and toco monitor. I had to look up what toco meant – basically it measures contractions. A little bit […]

  • Plastered People

    At first thought, the idea of plastering the torso to create a memento of the [future] occasion is a good one. Putting thoughts into actions is an infinitely more difficult concept. You are supplied with the plaster strips, and then have to cut them to size, which is easy enough. Then the first hard part […]
