Alfred Enar Joseph Collins

He's here!
We're delighted to welcome baby  Alfred into the world!
It all started last  Wednesday,  I came home from work,  was meant to work until the  Friday,  and within 10 minutes my waters had broken.
We went into hospital for a  check up and  as nothing had started we were sent home and we're told to call back to  discuss induction on Friday.
Luckily things did start and  on Friday at 17.30 we headed in to  Jessops and at 7.59pm Alfred made a very speedy appearance into this world,  weighing 3.29kg, that's 7.25 lbs in old money.
We had to stay in a fee days  extra as Alfred had a bit of redness around his  cord area and the pediatrician wanted to rule out an  infection.  So my little trooper had a cannula put in and  received  antibiotics twice a day.  Luckily two days later, the tests came back clear and  we were given the all clear to go home.  Both of us have  received the very best of care but  were so pleased to be home!
Vera is a very proud and  helpful big sister!
