Just to prove the point that new parents are sleep deprived and busy as all hell - my second blog entry is 9 months after the first!
Aiden was born on June 26,2007 - a little van Hulsen from top to toe (yes - even his toes are a mirror of Bram's). Poor little fella was a little reluctant to enter the wide world. Here he is wearing a little suction cap on his head ;)
What an experience. It's got to be the most amazing and terrifying life experience I've encountered. After all the planning, worrying, induction and initial pain, suddenly there is a warm perfectly formed, translucent baby on my chest - still with eyes shut. He looks like he's asleep - until a small 'yelp' and then he's wisked away briefly. He gets a bill of good health.
We lie with him in the room for 2 hours or so. Feelings of wonderment and good fortune (that he's healthy) surround us. Until we head to the maternity ward and a room that could compete with any 4 star hotel in any European country. Sleep engulfs us until its time for a feed. Now that's another story.
