Baby arrival
Dec 15th, 2009 at 7:55am
 
Hello,

Apologies for the delay in the announcement. Baby Otis James was born at 13.33 on the 4th December by emergency c-section after a 24 hour labour. He weighed 7lb 10oz. He's a total angel and is a very relaxed and chilled out baby - thank goodness. It has made recovering from the c-section much easier.

We have been home just under a week and I was quite ill for the first few days thanks to a very low iron count. That's been fixed now and I'm feeling much more human. We have even left the house - we went for lunch on Sunday and it was lovely.

Thank you to everyone for their support and kind words during the early days when I was so poorly and also when we had our scares. It's funny to think after all that he was only a day early!

Hope everyone is well.

Love Em & Otis
xx

Thank you all! Thought I'd post a few more pics for you to see.

We're improving by the day here and I'm hoping to head out for a stroll today. It's cold, but sunny and bright and it'll be good for us both to have some fresh air.

Here we go!

See if, in the next few weeks/months, you can sneak a pic of dad sleeping on the couch with Otis sleeping on his chest. You'll treasure that one the rest of your life.
