Just a quick note to introduce my new sprout - Aidan Michael was born on 10 Oct weighing 7lb3oz. It was luckily a quick birth (8 hours) and while I had a few problems, he came out healthy and happy.

We're home now and took our first trip to the allotment yesterday. He wasn't terribly impressed, but it's early days. I can't believe how much I missed the place. I've added a photo of his first day as my avatar, with my leek bed in the background, desperately needing weeding.

If you want to check out other photos, go to this link.

Hope everyone's well, I'll try to catch up with all the posts soon.

Gerry and Aidan

What a beautiful little boy!
So glad you're both well. He looks very contented.
Brings back memories of my 3 sons as newborns. Sadly those days are now over (too old, too poor!). Make the most of it Gerry. It's hard work but over far too soon!
Looking forward to seeing you back on the forum.

Either that of he'll do his own version of weeding like Lily does!!
As others say do cherish these first few months they grow up so quickly!! before long he'll be saying 'boo!, bum, and pooh!!'

Ahhhhhhhh, a new baby. How fantastic.

Congratulations. I remember when mine were babies. They're 17 and nearly 11 now.

Enjoy and give little Aiden a great big cuddle off his Aunty Lizzie
