In the UK, it is common practice that a midwife visits baby and parents in their home the day after birth, and then every day for a week+. Today was our first visit, as we left the hospital yesterday. Actually, two midwives came to see us. They checked Ethan to make sure is doing alright, talked to us about what to think about and what to do and what not to do and we also got a chance to ask them questions.
I also received a surprising call today; my aunt Annika and uncle Håkan from Sweden were in Edinburgh and wanted to meet up, they had heard through the grapevine that we’ve had a baby recently so they came by with a gift for Ethan this afternoon and we had a coffee and a great catch-up session! I had not spoken to Annika for many years, so the call came out of the blue, but definitely much appreciated!
Ethan is doing really well, he is such a lovely, calm little boy, and he is slowly but surely getting into an eat-play-sleep routine.
Speaking of visitors; tomorrow Ethan’s Great grandma, Auntie Nini and cousin Jules are arriving! What a life we lead! It will be good times for sure!
