Baby Feet!

Harvey has arrived, he was born on the 17th June at 20:24 weighing in at 7lb 13 oz

& he is simply gorgeous! They are still in hospital as Harvey is a bit jaundice, hes having treatment, so hopefully they will be home where they belong real soon

His first photo, I took this within 5 minutes of him being born

I took this whilst I was holding him, when Katie was being sorted out. I have never felt the rush of love I felt for this little man, not even with my own girlies....it feels strange!
