On the 19th of April at 7:40 pm Nicholas Luke was born into the world at Newcastle Private Hospital. He was 52cm long and weighed a whopping 9.8 pounds. After a “natural” labour of 15 hours with an epijural and forceps delivery he finally made his appearance.
We came home from hospital yesterday to settle in at home. So far Nicholas is a very calm baby who just loves to be cuddled and snuggled up. We absolutely adore him. I am still recovering from the labour.
I will try and snatch a few moments here and there to post some pictures.
I hope you are all well,
Alicia xx
Many congratulations on your happy news Alicia and your little chap is absolutely adorable.
Sending my best wishes to you all.
Hugs, Fliss xx
