On Saturday 2nd May we welcomed our beautiful little boy into the world. Meet Teddy Juniper Juergens. It was love at first sight. He is the dark haired, dark eyed baby I always thought I would have. đź’“
For those that like to know the stats, he was 50 cm (19.6 inches) long and weighed 2.955 kilos (6.6 lbs) at birth.
We are all happy and healthy and the birth went really well. It’s been a great experience. I think being a second time parent is just so much easier as you know what to expect.
Augie has been a wonderful big brother and gives Teddy gentle kisses and cuddles all day. He likes to stroke his face and say “it’s a baby” and “he’s so soft”. He’s not hugely interested though, which is a blessing because he doesn’t get himself too involved and in the way. Teddy sleeps most of the time so it’s really not that exciting for Augie. Me on the other hand, I could stare at that sweet sleeping face 24/7.
We took a while to name him because I was not kidding when I said boy names are hard! Teddy was the only name I liked and Juniper was a name I loved but I wanted a middle name that meant something to us. So in the hospital, after I’d had him, I googled Juniper and found out that the name Jennifer is thought to be derived from Juniper. Jennifer was my mums name so it felt serendipitous because I really wanted a way to name him after her. I named August because my mum was born in August, so it’s lovely I could connect both boys to my mum who sadly they will never meet.
I’ll be back with all the details soon.
