As a special treat, Leigh took Adam for his first visit to the swimming pool. He was, as he always is, very excited by the whole outing. Until his big toe hit the water. Then he wept inconsolably until it was over. Hopefully a few trips to Bishop's Park and some time splashing in the paddling pool will help him get used to the idea.
We're all quite exhausted from staying up too late and being woken in the night by hungry little Ben, but everything is fine. When the midwife visited on Tuesday, Ben had gained a little weight, which I find quite amazing at 5 days, when they've usually lost a fair bit. He'll be weighed again later today so we will see exactly how much he's been eating!

Baby Porter finally arrives
After what has felt the longest 9 months of my life, our 3rd little blessing finally made an appearance on Thursday 31st of July. He was born in a birth pool and weighed in at a healthy 8lb 5oz and arrived in the world very peaceful and calm, and demanding food.
The labour (once it got going properly) wasn't too long and the birth was hard work, painful but without any complications or problems.
He's feeding well and last night slept for six hours straight. So long, in fact, that I woke up with a stiff neck, unused to such long periods of uninterrupted rest. He doesn't have a name yet, but we're working on it. Isaac is delighted with his new brother, and Adam thinks he's hilariously funny.
