A week old already!!!

I can't believe it! Our little man is already over a week old. Linkin was born last Monday (Sept 1st) at 1:53pm weighing 6lb 11oz. We had a uncomplicated c section (except for the fact that they had to have 2 goes at the spinal block cause he couldn't get it in). Jamie and I were both so surprised at how little Linkin was, and how much hair he had! It was so great to finally see him and kiss him!
I have to tell you about the anaesthetist, Jamie and I were still unsure about what we were going to name him and in walks the anaesthetist and he says 'Hi my name in Linkin!" Jamie and I just looked at each other and started laughing, we then explained to him that it was one of the names that we were considering with for the baby...it was like a sign. He came in to see me in recovery and I told him that we had decided on Linkin and he was rapped!!!!
Linkin had a few problems with his blood sugar levels which I was rapped that we managed to get under control by the Tuesday Night. It surprised the Drs so I was really glad that I stuck to my guns and made them give us a chance to do it without the drip. He was discharged from special care on the Wednesday and we came home on Thursday. I kept saying before I went in that I was going to have a holiday, and that I wasn't coming out until they kicked me out, but once in there I missed Jamie and the kids too much, so I couldn't wait to get home and start our life as family of seven!
We had a few rough nights as he settled in but now he is sleeping and feeding fantastically. He is such a quiet baby doesn't cry a lot....yet! LOL! He looks a lot like Jamie, has darker hair than any of the others and more of it too, his lttle face is so tiny that he doesn't really have a hair line it just turns into his eyebrows LOL. He is also long and skinny were all the others have been short and chubby. And omg he has the biggest feet...I should measure them, but I reckon they would easily be 5cm!!!!
So basically he is just perfect and I am in love all over again, I love holding him, he snuggles right in, and can't stop kissing him. I had to take him to the Dr yesterday as he has conjunctivitis that wasn't going away with breast milk and his poor little eye swelled up. They have started to clear up now with the help of drops.
Well I should go cause I could talk about him all day...I will add a pic on here of him tomorrow...Take Care
