Tobias George Crook (Toby) was born at 7:31pm on Monday 3rd March, weighing 4.065 kg (8 lb 15 oz), 50cm long and looking quite spunky.
Elicia's doing well, she sprained a ligament in her pelvis during the birth process which means she wasn't able to walk at all for a few days and now has to use an old lady’s walking frame. She's recovering well and we spent our first night back at home last night. The sleep deprivation isn’t too bad – Elicia’s mum is staying with us for a few days which is absolutely awesome, between the three of us we can alternate shifts a bit which makes life much easier.
And truly, being a parent is awesome, our little guy is the best ever. Even when he’s crying in the middle of the night I just look down at him and think ‘it doesn’t matter how much noise you make, I love you a million’.
Congratulations! that’s wonderfu news. He’s beautiful and elicia looks beautiful. Glad you’re so besotted;-)
Many congratulations
