Update summary on Rebekah

Rebekah Gillian-Mei Hawthorne was born on Sunday 1st June at 7am, she was 7.7lb (3.384Kg)
Was a fairly quick labour / delivery, but we ended up staying in hospital for 4 days (just got back yesterday) as she has a different blood group to me and had really bad jaundice from birth - nearly at the point of needing a transfusion, but not quite thankfully - so she had to have blood tests every 6 hours to check she was ok and was put under light therapy.
Need to go back in the morning for another blood test to make sure her levels are ok and also to make sure she hasn't also become anaemic.
But we are home now, so visitors are welcome.
We hope to put some more pictures on soon.

Our Little Glow Worm

Sadly little Rebekah has not been able to come home just yet. She has a bit of jaundice (yellowness) which needs to be treated with light therapy. To begin with they place two small light blankets next to her skin, (under her clothes). The effect, as you can see in the pictures is to turn her into a little "glow worm"! (I think we have a nick-name already!)

New Baby Girl

Welcome to the world baby Rebekah!

Bumps

Sorry once again for the very long silence , but here is our latest most exciting bit of news:

We are expecting baby number 3 at the begining of June 2008. Here is a pic of the scan we had done. (13 wks old)

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall

Last Friday Joshua was having a go at the small climbing wall at our local park but managed to fall off and land on his right arm. This caused him quite a bit of pain but as there seemed to be no bruising or swelling we didn't think to much of it, Joshua was also reluctant to tell us how much it hurt as he did not want to have to go to hospital. However when he went to bed he woke up at about 10pm in pain and couldn't get back to sleep, so Chris took him down to the local Emergency room at about midnight. They had an X-ray taken to find that his lower arm had dislocated at the elbow. His arm was put in a sling and was told it should go back into place by itself.
On Wednesday morning - the first day of term - Josh woke up to find that he could now move his arm around but was still quite tender, which at least made his first day back at school a lot easier. He has a check up at the hospital tomorrow to make sure everything is where it should be. So hopefully everything will be fine and he will be able to start using his arm normally again soon.
