Tobias Eric Flanders was born on the 7th of December at 5:56pm. I was 10 days overdue (E.D.D 27th of November). He's 8lbs 4oz, 22 inches long and has a tonne of black hair. From my water breaking to him being born was about 10 hours and I came home the next day. He doesn't fuss much and he farts like a grown man. He's made Robert and I so much happier and we can't wait to watch him grow.

Birth: 3.75kgs (8lbs 4oz)
6 month check-up (2nd July, 09): 11kgs (24 lbs 2oz)
27th August, 09: 11.6kgs (25.57lbs)
December 28th, 09: 13.5kgs (29.76lbs) and 81cms









Raphaelle Alice Flanders was born on the 25th of March, 2010. She weighed 3.570kgs / 7lb 14oz, and is 54cms long. Early labour lasted for an exhausting 36 hours, while active labour was 3 hours long, and only took 3 big pushes to get her out. She was born in the shower, with me leaning over an inflatable exercise ball while on my knees. Her older brother wouldn't go near either of us for the first day, but now he's back to wanting cuddles from mummy and oohing and aahing over his new little sister.
