Two of those weeks were official paternity leave and the final two were holiday bolted onto the end. Four weeks was just right for me. Helen and I have settled down into this parenthood lark and I’m comfortable leaving to get on with their day whilst I get back to work.

I wonder why were only get two weeks paternity leave in the UK? I’d certainly not be ready to go back to work after two weeks. Things were still scary and new at that point so I definitely made the right decision when I took the whole of August off. Time just flies though. I only feel like I’ve been off for a week!

And so we gear up for my least favourite part of the year. As the nights draw in, dark, cold SAD inducing winter will be upon us soon.  Maybe this year I’ll be too busy to notice.

At 10:10am on the 2nd August 2008 Oliver made his way into the world in an unexpected breached delivery.

Our first child, we’re learning a lot about parenthood fast. To say we’re delighted is an understatement! Many thanks go out to all our friends and family who can see photos and videos on Flickr and Facebook.
