Jeremiah is 6

6 years ago I gave birth to Jeremiah at home in the birth pool.  I can't believe it's been six years since I held that tiny slippery person in my arms.

I don't have any of us together in the pool (just a few of me in labour which I will never post on the internet!) but here is Jeremiah about 1 hour old in the moses basket.

Tribute to a moses basket

Malachi is now sleeping in the cot!  After 5 years it's now finally time to put away the moses basket for the last time.  I washed all the frilly bits and put Malachi in it for some last photos.

I'm hoping that the extra room will encourage Malachi to move around more.  He seemed to enjoy being in the cot and he was happily chatting to his toy caterpillar.

Jeremiah only slept in it for 8 weeks because he was such a wriggly baby he liked to move around in his sleep.  Isaac used it for 14 months and Malachi for nearly 9 months.
