Theodore George arrived earlier this week and we are thrilled! He is known to all of us as Ted, Teddy, Teddy Bear, Tiny Ted, Big Ted, Little Ted and the list goes on.
He decided to arrive 1 week after his due date and in the middle of the night. Tipping the scales at 4.02kg (8lb 14oz) and 54cm (21 1/4″) he is a big baby but seems tiny to us. The midwife said he would’ve been 9lbs but had already passed his meconium before he was weighed. Keeping up the family tradition, he also has a huge head!
The labour was fairly quick and everything went very well. Believe it or not, I would describe it as incredible! So different to Roman’s delivery. I’m hoping to write up his birth story soon.
Roman is quite taken with him and is being a great big brother, fetching toys and juice cups for Ted. That’s it for now from me and the boys. We just wanted to say hi and let you all know that we are doing great and we’ll be back soon.

Big bubba! Lucy was the same – would have tipped the scales at 10lbs but a huge poo just before weighing meant that she was 9lb13oz.
He is gorgeous – I love that second photo of the two of you!
