16th February 2012.


Today is my due date apparently - I don't know what this means but Mummy said that perhaps she'd better tell people I am here now, I have been kept a secret from all but the most important people until today because of Mummy being so tired.

I woke everyone at 7.30 today after 3 and a half hours sleep, Daddy looked wrecked but Mummy kept saying "Thank you" and telling me what a good boy I am, maybe I'll try sleeping at night time again some time.

We have no midwives visiting today, it is our very 1st day together as a proper family with no commitments - Mummy and Daddy seem very pleased about this.

We went for a short walk in my pram, Mummy said she'd been looking forward to it for 8 months, since I was the size of an apple pip. Afterwards we went to visit Mummy's boss who'd bought me a new outfit and a bouncy chair. There was also some gorgeous dungarees hanging on the door today from the landlords and even the postman congratulated Mummy on my arrival.

The rest of the day was spent with Daddy or in my moses basket because Mummy was determined to feed me only her milk and spent almost all day plugged into her pump. In the end Daddy did have to make me one formula bottle but other than that Mummy did it all herself, I was pleased as I don't sick up Mummy's milk.

We stayed up quite late again and I went straight to sleep in my own bed.
