At last here he is, Jack Benjamin Smith was born today 10/20/11 at 7.28am. Weighing in at 7lbs 1 oz he is 19 1/2" long. Were so glad to have our wee peanut as an outside baby.
He's doing really well so far he is a good eater, it does take a long time to feed him but he gets there in the end. His lip luckily has a "Simon arts band" which is a little band of skin under the nose this is good as it means his cleft lip is being held together a little bit and his nose is not pulled to far out, His palette however is a little worse than we thought he actually has 2 holes in his palette the surgeons reassured us that this wasn't a huge problem and will be fixed the same as one hole. So all is good the wee guy was in the NICU for the past 24 hours but only because I had a fever a few hours after birth and they had to make sure he didn't have any infections, but were both completely fine, and it was actually quite good because the level of care he received there was great and the nurses spent extra time with us and him making sure we can feed him and everything else was ok.
This blog is to share with you our amazing babies. Not only will we very shortly be having our second child(yes I'm having contractions as I write) but it's also to document our son's journey as a cleft lip and palette baby, we will also be parents of 2 under 2, our daughter Ella was born July 11th 2010 and is currently a very active 14 month old. So I hope you enjoy, get a few laughs and maybe even learn a little something along with the Smith family.
