Theo - 1 month

Happy birthday Theo! Already 1 month

Theo - 4 weeks

Another exciting week for Theo. Almost a month old. It's amazing how much he progresses each week.

Happy Thanksgiving to his grand parents in Megargel Texas!!! Yii-aaahh

He just loves to take baths and to ride in the car. He's also spending a lot of good time in his amusement park (Thanks Charlotte!).

The experience with the reusable nappies is quite good. Theo has them mostly during the day and overnight we still use the throwable ones... piece of mind at night is good!

What else. On Tuesday the health visitor came by and weighted him at 4.140kgs so he is growing nicely. Still a bit of a shrimp for his size... but that's daddy's genes!

Theo - 3 weeks

Time flies... that's for sure. We're already way into week 3 and so here is the new gallery of Theo.

This week lots of 'Premieres' again

Theo - 2 weeks

Here we go... already 2 weeks gone by... Theo's second week birthday!

To celebrate, Theo's adventures got pretty full in the last few days:
1-He got to see auntie Rachael and tonton Laurent
2-Then he got to go outside in the park for the first time
3-Then he got to see his uncle Damien and tata Karine!
4-He met his little friend Luca, 3 weeks older than him for the first time
5-He finally got clothes to his size thanks to Luca, Dan and Ellie, as Luca doesn't need them anymore
6-He tried formula milk and pouh... doesn't do good (except for allowing mummy to sleep!)

What a second week!

Theo - 1 week

Already 1 week old... time flies... well to celebrate, Pachou came specially to London from Paris for the day to see his grand son!.

Day 6 - Going home!

Day 6... Almost a week old!

Theo is discharged from the hospital. Things got faster and so the nurses told us that if Georgia was feeling ok, Theo could be brought home today. So we decided we would go!

Daddy took a 'petite' snooze with Theo while waiting for the paper work to be completed... Resemblance?

Day 5 - Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

Day 5 was fantastic because they started telling us about when Theo might come out. The timeline was based on his ability to feed at least every 4 hours.

Looking at the progress he was making, we started planning for him to come out Wednesday for his first week birthday!

Georgia is becoming more expert at breastfeeding. Theo and her seemed to have done it all their life. We heard stories where it takes days to weeks to adjust but with Theo, this is pretty much established practice after day 1!

I came home early on Monday after saying hi to Theo because we had the carpet getting installed in our new loft. It was supposed to be done the day Theo was born!.

As one of my friends rightfully said, when you are in your beyond your twenties, there aren't so many first times. Maybe once a week if you are lucky, once a month otherwise...

But with a baby, you reenter the world of "first times" many times a day. This is so magic.

So for Day 5, my first times were:
-first time I left Theo and wasn't going to see him for an entire day
-first time he grinned to me

Monday, I spent the day catching up with things at home and started getting ready for my investor meeting the next morning. The team had done a fantastic job of preparing the content and so I just had to finalize it.

Around noon, flowers were delivered from my previous company, Tideway. Thanks a lot, they look amazing and made Georgia feel very welcomed when she came home.

By 7pm I wend back to the hospital to see Theo for the evening and came home around midnight...

Day 4 - Learning to know Theo

On day 4, we started to learn our parenting skills... changing nappies, breastfeeding, cleaning, etc...

Day 4 is also when the haematoma disappeared. So amazing how quickly he recovered from something that would have taken weeks to resorb in an adult!

Day 4 was also the last night I spend camping in Georgia's room in the hospital. By the evening I started thinking again about life outside, the startup I've just joined, and the investor meeting we had schedule for Tuesday to raise money for the company.

Good night Theo.

Day 3 - Out of the aquarium

Day 3 was magic.

When I went to the 4th floor to see Theo in the morning, I discovered they moved him out of the incubator and into a normal cot! Finally we could start hugging him...

His auntie Quitterie came with his grand mother Manou. Very special moments.

Pics are worth a thousand words...
