The Life of Matthew

… I’m still in here, but I promise I will let everyone know as soon as I arrive. Or rather Daddy will.
I thought I might come today, just to tease Daddy, as there’s an England football game on the telly, but it seems I’m not a teasing kind of boy (except to Mormor!)
Doctor’s appointment early […]

After all the excitement of yesterday I had hoped that today might mean that things were finally happening, but so far it’s just another day. Don’t even have any exciting pains to talk about.

I don’t like the long period where nothing happens, […]

Here you can see the very first picture taken of me when I was 6 weeks and 4 days old. I was only 7mm long. Daddy calls it my peanut picture

I’m going to try and quickly get you up to speed with what’s been happening.
