It's official!!!

After being cooped up indoors for the past week adjusting to life with a newborn, we took our little man out on his first outing in the car today and took a trip down to Calderdale Registry Office. His birth has been registered and Dexter Aaron Fleming now officially exists in the world :)

All that excitement was obviously very tiring lol...

Welcome to the world...

On Saturday 10th November 2012 (5.20am) we were finally able to welcome to the world, at 8 days overdue, our beautiful son... Dexter Aaron Fleming, weighing a very healthy 8lb 12.5oz.

Pronounced: Deck-ster Air-on

After 28 long hours of labour and a trip to theatre for a forceps delivery, he arrived completely unphased by the whole ordeal and amazed mummy & daddy with his full head of gorgeous dark hair (we're not sure where this came from as we were both blonde as children)!

After only a few days together at home as a family, it is already hard to remember what life was ever like without him xxxxx

40 weeks (+1 day)

Ok, so it's not uncommon. You excitedly wait 40 whole weeks for your little bundle to arrive... your due date comes around... and guess what, no baby! Not even a twinge! So now the tense waiting game kicks in. Just exactly how fashionably late does he intend to be?

The midwife is due to come visit me at home in a few days time to see if a stretch & sweep will help things progress but I'm keeping my fingers crossed my son attempts to break free of his own accord before then. Wish us luck!

Here we are at 40+1 weeks...
