Today we had another baby card arrive. This one from Sarah’s parents. Everyone is really excited you’re here. I took this picture of you today as it reminded me of a photo of me at Auntie Fyw and Uncle Martins wedding in Thailand. I had just caught Auntie
Big day today! We officially registered your birth and collected your birth certificate you are now Robin Patrick Jackson officially. We completed the registration in Brooklands, where Weybridge registry office had set up a temporary office while the building was refurbished. The registrar was very nice, I think she was
Today we had an appointment to see the midwife. It was at a community hub in Sheerwater. When your Dad and I first moved to West Byfleet we used to walk up the canal and loop around that area, already in 3 years the area has changed so much. I
You weren't so bad last night - maybe you took my complaining to heart? Then again, maybe it was the massive feed you had at about midnight causing you to sleep through until 4am. Sarah came to visit this morning. Sadly she didn't bring Pablo, but I

We went to Ash Vale to visit Nan today - she's your great-grandmother. She already has a few great-grandchildren but - between you and me - I reckon you're going to be the favourite! Grandma Jandma came as well, but she's pretty obsessed with you
It's been just over a week since you were born, but it's flown by. I think you're adjusting to your new home quite nicely. It's been my job to make sure your bottles are cleaned, sterilised and refilled ready for when you
Today we had quite a busy day Auntie Dimbleby and Uncle Daniel came to see us. They were very excited to meet you and heard all about our time at the hospital. Uncle Daniel was very interested to hear about the rare bacteria infection I picked up. He said that
Today was our first morning at home together. Your mum was looking after you, so I made her brekfast in bed: scrambled eggs on toast. She's probably mentioned this to you, but your mum really enjoys eggs. The community midwife came to visit us at about 11 - her
Today we had a good feeling we were taking you home. We woke up and got ourselves organised. Your mum actually got to wear more than just pyjamas. We were told we could leave just after our last lunch in the hospital and your dad went to get your push
