A Baby Boy!

I have let people know on Facebook and Twitter about the safe arrival of our latest addition - but until now have not found the time to provide a proper blog update - and after a prod in the week - here it is.

My third son made his appearance at 9.09am on Friday 7th October weighing a kilo less than both his brothers at 3520 grams but making up for it in his length of 52cm.

The weeks since have been quite 'pittig' (as the Dutch say) with a re-admittance to hospital for me (nothing like being taken away in an ambulance to get the street's attention and freak your children out) and reflux diagnosed for the little one. Sleepless nights are certainly no stranger to me and his dad.....and I can honestly say I have gained a good understanding of the ins and outs of the Dutch medical system for later blog posts.......

However, things are getting back on track for us all.

Thanks for all the congratulations and well wishes over the last few weeks.

Gefeliciteerd en het allerbeste voor jullie allemaal.

Looking forward to hearing the ins and outs of the Dutch medical system in regards to the birth. I've never experienced it since my kids were born in Ghana, West Africa and the USA

Congratulations! It sounds like everyone is okay. I'd be fascinated to hear about your hospital experience in the Netherlands. So great to connect with another expat mom in blogland :) XOLaura
