Welcome to the world baby Aiden!

The past couple of days have been magical…

On Friday 3rd October, Aiden Joshua Sebastian made his grand entrance into the world at 2pm, weighing 7lb 6oz. Thankfully, no induction was needed and we managed a wonderful natural labour, which will be on the blog soon. It did get a bit hairy at the end as AJ got more tired, but he pulled through and is a healthy baby boy.

He’s just so beautiful with his big brown eyes, dark curly hair and pouty lips. Both of us can’t stop staring at him in awe, he amazes us everyday and can’t believe that he’s finally here. Right now we are enjoying our time in our little baby bubble and loving life as a family of three.

We got home from the hospital on Saturday evening and are still trying to get to grips with our new reality. Spending lots of quality time with my gorgeous baby is my priority. At the moment, I’ll be updating the blog when I can (more posts scheduled for this week) and generally just go with the flow until we get more settled.

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful messages and warm comments of congratulations on the birth of baby Aiden!
