We were visited by a health visitor today, who gave us a lot of encouragement and information about all the services available to us and the milestones that the baby is going to reach in the next couple of weeks. 

Medical Check: Health visitor's first visit
​Milestone: Mimicking faces
​Books: Ron's first book
​Gifts: Cousin's drawing of our family
​Parenting: Terry towels VS muslin cloths

We live on a remote island, a place where our son is free to play, explore, experience and enjoy being a child! Is it really so bad to hope that he becomes a bit of a trouble maker? What does that even mean?

I am a supermum - if only for a moment when I return to my baby, wipe away his tears and feed him (again!).

I am the local registrar so it is my duty to register the birth of my son and issue him a birth certificate. However, this is my first ever registration so I was a little nervous!

​Gifts: Dragon hoodie
​Admin: Birth registered
​Parenting: Hair dryer hack

I can't believe Ron is 1 week old today - the time is flying so quickly and my little baby boy was growing up so fast!

​We were visited by a midwife in the morning and a couple of friends who popped in later in the afternoon. 

It is James's birthday today and we had an exciting day learning many parenting lessons and having many first-time experiences, one of which resulted in an exciting present for daddy!

Today has been a bit of an admin day, so James and Ron looked through many children's bank accounts and Ron decided he wants one that offers a little extra something - because who doesn't like a freebie?

We have a baby! We are back home! And we are so much in love! 
​
With emotions still high and a day of many new experiences, we slowly begin to figure out our new lives. We also put a little something aside for the future!

You would think that after three days of utter frustration we'd be rushing to get out of the hospital. . . But today was a day of utter delight!
