Sitting Pretty

So the little one arrived!  If you're reading this you're probably a friend or close family member, so you'll know that and have probably by now met young master Jacob in the flesh.

We can't believe that he's now reached the grand old age of 8 weeks old - that's 2 whole months people - practically a grown up - and it's lovely to watch him beginning to take more of an interest in the world around him.  The last couple of weeks we've noticed that his upper body strength has improved loads so one evening we propped him upright in his pram, and he didn't fall over!  It's cool to be able to give him another vantage point from which to view the world.

We're off to the doctors this afternoon for his 8 week check and immunisations, so the next 24 hours may contain more cuddles than 'independent play'.  Wish us luck!

It's a boy!

This was a fun time - he wouldn't stop wriggling the whole time, and the sonographer said "I'd lose my job if I couldn't tell that was a boy, it's so obvious!"  Somewhat better live than on film, but this will have to do for the next 20 weeks - no more photos till he wriggles out at the end.

ETA

This is the 12 week scan, the first one we were actually meant to have....  We found out his due date, even though it changed at the next scan. He's shaping up into a real little person by now, exciting times!

Bumpy ride

Then we had a little worry that he might not be OK 2 weeks later (well that's what we told the doctors, but really we just wanted to have another look at him).

Baby beginnings

Here's the picture from the 8 week scan, which we thought was a 12 week scan, but we were, err, wrong.
