I am delighted to announce the arrival of our son, Lucas Alexander, on the 22nd of October at 11.20pm! He weighed in at 9lb 7oz and is, of course, absolutely perfect in every way. We're both absolutely besotted and still find ourselves spending large amounts of the day marvelling at how we've managed to create such a beautiful, happy boy.
Lucas is now 8 weeks old and is growing nicely--he clocked in at 12lb 2oz yesterday. He's getting very 'talkative' and makes lots of gurgles, coos and (of course) screams. He's full of smiles, too, and I can't wait until he giggles or laughs for the first time!
Life is wonderful, if very tiring, just now. I'm hoping that once Lucas settles into a loose routine that I'll be able to get back into the kitchen, even if it's just to make old favourites instead of slaving over the stove for hours on end. Right now I can't imagine having enough spare time to bake bread or ice a cake!! Still, I wouldn't have it any other way....

What a blessing! From a mom of six, my advice is to enjoy! You will blink and Lucas will be driving away. When I had the urge to cook when my kids were little the swing-o-matic (showing my age) and that bouncy thing that hangs in a doorjamb allowed them to be nearby to see what is going on, but out from underfoot.
You will return with a vengeance with a new inspiration... and I look forward to it!

Thank-you, Deborah! I'm planning on experimenting with either Lucas's swing or car seat in a corner of the kitchen. He's getting nosey enough to want to see what all the noises mummy's making are :)
Also, big thank-yous to the other folks who commented on this entry. Unfortunately a database crash lost all my comments so I can't reply individually. But thank-you anyway!

Thanks, Kristin! God, the Void... I'd managed to forget about my frequent trips there ;)
Hope you're all doing well!
