1 Month Old

I've become so famous now because of my blog I have to go out in disguise when I go for my morning coffee and sit down to read the Irish Times.

Today I was 1 month old. It seems like I have been here forever and hard to believe I wasn't around 32 days ago. Had a great day again today with lots of new visitors.

Fionnuala, Julia, me and mum chillin' on the couch.

I got to meet my cousin Julia for the first time today too. Auntie Fionnuala and her came over from London to visit me. We had a lovely day together and went for big long walk down to the Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham. Some of the pieces were stunning, others looked like something I could do myself, and I can't even hold a paintbrush yet.

At the end of the day I got to meet my Godfather, Jamie, for the first time. He dropped around with Ciara but he refused to have his photo taken with me because he was having a "fat day". It was just as well because I couldn't find my wide angle lens. 

Busy Week Again

Una looked after me for a whole afternoon while mum got some sleep.

Sorry for the delay in my posting buts it's been very busy since Dad went back to work. Mum and I have been to see doctors nearly everyday this week.

All week I've had visitor coming to give me big hugs and cuddles. It's a hard life.

Whenever Granny holds me she doesn't want to let me go! 

Granddad is even more comfy than dad!

My grandparents dropped around again this week and it was nice to spend more time with them.

Auntie Ev got me a lovely new blanket to go in my Moses basket.

It's so warm and comfy!

Auntie Iseult dropped around from Martello. She had lots of questions for mum and dad. I wonder why...

An illegal imigrant called Aidan dropped in from Bratislava. He was a bit scary but quite funny.

After all the visits to the Doctors I again got a full clean bill of health. I've put on over a pound in the last 3 weeks and they are very happy with me.

I have been given a date for my first operation on my cleft. On October 30th I will be going into Temple Street to have my lip and nose repaired. I will be in there for 5 days but then I will get to go home again to mum and dad. 

Day 15 - Around the Hospitals

On Thursday morning I went to Holles Street with mum and dad for my 2 week weight check. I had put on the right weight and the doctors were very happy with me.

Later on that evening I started to have a bit of a choking session. Mum and dad managed to help me breath again but we rushed to the Coombe hospital so they could make sure I was ok.

The beds in Crumlin Hospital were nice and big and very comfy!

They then recommended that I spend a night or two in Crumlin hospital. So we all went up there and I was checked into the intensive care unit. They ran some tests and kept me monitored 24/7 but they didn't find anything. They all thought I was fit as a fiddle and think that it was a once off thing. So 3 days later I was allowed to go home.

When I got home I was very happy and so were mum and dad. Now after I have food the doctors said I should sit up for about 20 mins afterwards. This is great, because now I get to play dad's Playstation 3 everyday. Woohooo! Can't wait for GTA4!!

I wonder if all the Heineken I'm having had anything to do with my trip to the hospital...?

Week 2 - A week of new friends

My second week was nearly as busy as my first week. I spent the whole the week meeting lots of new honorary aunties and unlces as well as my Godmother. Had such a busy week don't have much time to blog in detail so here are all the pics!

Auntie Bairbre aka The Godmother visits from Holland.

Honorary uncle Steve and auntie Adrienne bring over my new friend (not boyfriend!) Conor who is 3 months older than me.

Jan and her mum arrive with Jan's new arrival and my new best friend, Hazel.
I am older than Hazel by 12 hours so I will be the leader of our gang.

Hazel and mum got on very well. She has much more hair than I do. I
hope I haven't got dad's receding hariline.

As well as all those people, I was also visited by my Grandparents, Auntie Mel, Auntie Ev, Auntie Helen, Unlce Ro and my cousins Morgan and Charlotte. Don't want to hog all my bandwith just yet though so will post those pics another time. On top of all those visits I was also very busy opening all the nice cards and pressies from my friends, Aunts, Uncles and cousins around the world. Thanks everyone!!

Day 7 - 1 Week Old

A birthday kiss from mum.

My first week was very eventful. At 12.40pm a week after I was born mum and dad celebrated with a bottle of champagne. They offered me some but I declined as I realised that they were actually drinking Cava... cheapskates.

Not for me thanks, it Bolly or nothing!

After the big celebration mum changed me into my fancy new clothes and I was ready to celebrate the rest of the day.

For some reason I find the changing mat very comfortable.

That evening I sat with dad and watched my first movie on the big screen. I was very impressed with the PS3's HD upscaling from DVD. Very good.

I wonder what would have happened if they'd shot the escape pod at the beginning.

I finished off my day updating my blog as usual.

It's a busy life this blogging.
