Patrick - One Week Old!




Hello Everyone :)



It's me, Patrick - I am one week old today! Mummy and Daddy cannot believe I am here already and that 9 months of pregnancy is finally over, let alone that I am already one week old. Mummy says to tell you that I really am a perfect baby (so far) - I sleep well (I am even sleeping better at night time) and my feeding is improving and I am now above my birthweight (after dropping a little in hospital - which is completely normal)! We saw the Paediatrician yesterday - she said I am doing well. She listened to my heart and said it sounded good and strong! I have a little jaundice (very very mild) but that will clear up and be gone in about a week or 2. It is worse under some light than others. I had a hearing test in hospital and passed with flying colours - what a relief!





Daddy says to tell you that he loves me more and more everyday (which I know because he loves kissing and cuddling me and telling me how much he loves me). I know mummy loves me this much too because she does the same. I have changed alot from when I was born and Mum and Dad both say that I am absolutely perfect - I know I am not (quite).....but I am pretty darn close!!!





Most people say I look like Mum - Dad agrees.....he says I have mum's chin, her nose (it is even always cold like hers) and probably her eyes - for now anyway. Mummy says I have Daddy's gorgeous smile....you know the one where only half my lips move up to meet my eye. Anyone who knows Dad well, will know this smile :)

I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has rung, text messaged or emailed Mummy and Daddy since I was born. They cried at some of the messages (but they weren't sad because they had smiles on their faces).

Mummy has put some of their favourite photos onto Facebook, so if you want to take a look, follow the link. You can then add it to your favourites list and check it when you have time, as the photo collection grows very quickly. Mum and Dad are forever sticking the video camera or digital camera in my face, so as you can imagine, there are lots of photos to share :) There is a link on the right hand side panel of this page, in the facebook archive section.

Well, thats me pretty tired now, so I am going to go and have some cuddles with Mum and Dad before I go back to sleep.

















Lots of love, hugs and kisses,
Patrick

P.S. Thank you to my God-Parents (Kalee & Ben) for the beautiful flowers you sent us in hospital. This is a photo of how beautiful they were!
