Here are some more photo's of little
Jake with Alison, Connor and friends.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Also as a special bonus please read the following from our official sponsor of Jake...
Alison
Well here he is, finally home and out of his hospital-issue clothes, and looking very handsome, we think.
Can't believe it's been a week since Jake was born, it's just flown by.
Luckily the labour was short - mild
contractions started around 9 pm last Wednesday evening,
we were at the hospital by 11.30 pm and Jake was born at1.31 am on Thursday
morning.
Paul didn't even get chance to read his book!
(Yeah- right :))
We were both glad that things
happened so quickly,
but to my horror I was told when we got to the hospital
that it was already too late for an epidural!
Talk about sheer panic.
So I had the complete natural child birth experience, which I have to say
I would absolutely NOT recommend.
It was certainly intense, shall we say.
I can't believe that before epidurals, everyone had kids that way.
I'm surprised the human race kept going.
Anyway, so far Jake is a very good
baby -
he's very quiet, even when he's awake -
probably because he can't get a word in edgeways what with the dogs
barking
and Connor being the world's biggest chatterbox.
Connor is very pleased to be a big brother
and is always trying to hug and kiss Jake.
I think he's a bit disappointed that Jake is not quite up to
playing soccer with him yet - maybe next season . . .
On a final note, we wanted to say a
huge thank you
to all of our friends and family for all of their e-mails,
cards and good wishes.
We are keeping everything so that Jake can
see when he's older...
WHAT GREAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS WE HAVE!
Hope to see you all soon
Alison and the boys
