Here he is

Little Henry, on his first day amongst us. He's now on Day Five and is being tested for liver function due to a bit of jaundice: all pretty normal apparently, but they won't let him go home until the results are in. So I'm sitting in Hoylake, where Livvy and I have been enjoying the hospitality of Roger and Diana whilst Tick and Henry are in the Liverpool Women's Hospital. As soon as we get the all-clear from the doctors, I shall be heading off to pick them up and we shall start home life together!

Tick has managed to wangle a private room for the past two days, which has made a big difference to her ability to relax and get some proper rest. Henry took to feeding almost immediately - actually in the recovery room after the operation! He's now already settling into a nice rhythm, which bodes well for the future!

As ever, what this space.
