On October the 11th at 9.23am Rupert Donald Payton Rutherford joined the team. Very punctual, arriving on his due date, he made a speedy entrance into the world and weighed in at a respectable 9lb 11oz.
Here he is - the first few hours.
And resting beside Mumma before we headed home.
Alby and Charlie are absolutely besotted with their little brother. They love to hold him and kiss him and squeeze him quite a lot...
Rupert kindly gave the boys an easel as a welcome present which the boys are loving... They helped Daddy put it together.
Don has been doing a great job looking after the boys while I have been recovering and looking after Rupert. They have had heaps of fun - playing at the Village Centre and lots of walks in the park...
Here are some pictures of Rupert - 11 days old.
He is doing really well - putting on 90grams in the first 5 days! Another hungry baby who feeds quite often and who sleeps more during the day than at night... He has a great set of lungs on him and uses them often!
We'll keep you posted with his and the big boys progress - when we can find the time!
Love from Anna, Don, Alby, Charlie, Rupert and Baxter x
