liam's first week

Hello all

welcome to the blog for little Liam , where you can follow along on our journey.

Liam Patrick was born on the 20th March 2007 at 1.45pm.

Victoria really wanted Liam to be born on St. Patrick's day , but depsite all her pushing, he didn't want to budge. He was getting too used to the indoor life.

But he decided to make a very quick move on the 20th , and was born a very healthy 7lb 10 oz.

A small turkey , as they say !
We arrived at the Mercy women's hospital at 1.15pm and he was born 30 minutes later , so not a lot time lost , by the little fella !

The widwives at the Mercy Birthing Centre were really fantastic and made the whole birthing experience a really positive experience.

We only spent 2 days in the Birthing Centre before we came home, but they follow up with midwife visits at home to make sure you are coping , so they have been really helpful and giving us great advice.

So far , since we have been home , he has been feeding well and sleeping very well. He is a pretty quiet baby really , and long may that continue !!

But he's docile , just like his Dad !!! once he's fed and cleaned !!! :)

thats all for now , till i figure out how to insert more pictures and put them where i want , not where this blog wants to put them !! :)

wishing you all the best ,

Paddy, Victoria and Liam
