Mendez Family

We are going to shorten his name to Mikey. Here are some pictures of Ben meeting Mikey for the first time. I thought that he wouldn't be very interested but he ran right past me wanting to see his brother and he has been so kind and gentle with him and is learning how to touch him softly and not to jump on him etc!

We are so happy that the newest member of our family, Michael Luis Mendez arrived on Tuesday 9th September weighing 5lb 9oz.

His name means 'Who is like God? Renowned in battle'! Something to live up to. Mind you with an older brother that could come in useful!

He was born just eleven minutes after arriving in hospital - a bit too close to being born in the car for our liking. But a speedy delivery meant that I recovered quickly and Omar, Michael and myself were able to enjoy a first peaceful afternoon just the three of us in a nice room at the home from home unit in our hospital.


The proud parents!
