ello all.

i have the best news ever!!!!!

Alfie George Perry was born at 7.56pm on the 6th of may 2011 by c-section.

ellie developed an infection and higher heart rate, blood pressure and tempeture and also when examined at 7pm she was still 2cm after 4 days of being in hospital after all the drugs so we decided it was best to just get him out asap.
later found out tht becuase of the width of her hips and the way he was laying there was no way he was ever coming out on his own without making ellie seriously ill so it was a good thing we had it.

he is 8lb, and the most gorgeous baby i have ever seen. he is just like me when i was a baby. very quiet, loves his sleep. he has a a few winges when ellie first tried breast feeding and as soon as he latched on he was fine.
he has been asleep ever since.

honestly anyone expecting there first child, belive me there is no feeling like it when you baby first takes a grip of your finger.

he is so cute. i havent got anyphotos on my computer yet but i will get a few and upload them tomorrow if i get a chance to.

just want to say thanks to everyone who supported us all throught eh pregnancy from the first day we announced it 42 weeks ago. you've all been brilliant support.

good luck to everyone expecting and anyone who has recently had thier little ones. im so happy i could cry. im back home now until i go back tomorrow but i cant stop thinking about them, i miss them both so much.

i was the first to hold him and the first to dress him whichj is that special something i will alwys hold. also i am still wearing the scrubs i was given to wear during the c section. these will be put into storage for future memories.

Good luck all!!!!
