1 month / 4 weeks

On Tuesday Cohen was 1 month old. 

I got him weighed and he now weighs 9 pound 8 and 1/2 ounces (4.5kg).

Happy boy :)

0 ... Zero

I got this idea from Colleen, who got the sticker from Carolyn. I found the stickers on etsy and couldn't resist. And seeing as though Cohen is 1 month tomorrow I thought I should put his 0 ones up before his 1 month ones :) I hope to keep on top of this photography thing monthly, as I totally regret not having any photos of me whilst pregnant.

Peanuts Due Date

Well yesterday we reached a milestone. 

It was my original due date.

Happy to report though that we still have a happy healthy boy growing and changing every single day. 

I can't imagine what it would be like to only just be close to having him now. 

Four weeks have flown past. :) still loving every moment!

Baptism

With thanks to the Lord we could present Cohen for baptism on 27th February. 

It was a beautiful day shared with family and friends.

One of my favourite photos.

I guess Damien can be in these photos now that they are engaged ;D (family joke)

The boys are still warming to the fact that Cohen is around.

They can't wait for him to grow up so they can play with him.

US!

But wait there is more ...

Below is a mix of hospital, coming home and family photos.

Enjoy.

Sleepy time

For now he is really good at letting me take photos of him, something I am sure he will get sick of very quickly. :)

Self portrait, was rather hard because the camera ways a ton. :)

Love my daddy!

Beautiful flowers from ... the Londoners. 

Thanks Owen, Bron, Ella & Sami.

Home time.

Now it was probably 20 degrees inside and was close to 40 outside. Was hard to figure out what to put on him. So we went with minimal clothes and just rugged him up with blankets till we got outside. :)

Cohen Lucas

This was at two days old. All snuggled up in lots of clothes and blankets. 

The aircon in hospital was freezing and it was 40 degrees outside.

Peacefully sleeping.

Welcome ... Cohen Lucas

With thankfulness to the Lord we welcomed

Cohen Lucas 

into the world on 

15 February 2011. 

However be it 4 weeks early he seemed to want to come out. I dont think my body was quite ready for him to leave and he thus ended up entering the world through an emergency caesarean after 14 1/2 hours of labour and only being 2cm dialated. We were hoping it wouldn't go this way but we would rather a happy healthy baby then wait around for things to progress, and thanks to all the wonderful staff at St John of God Mudoch and with Gods blessings that is exactly what we got, a 7 pound 5 ounce (3328grams) healthy baby boy.
