The Unreal Me

Yes, it’s finally happened! Cody Charles Koolen-Bourke came into the world on Saturday 22nd August 2:37pm weighing 3860g (8.5lbs). He had to come buy way of emergency C-Section as he wasn’t being too cooperative in the birthing department and after mum ended up being induced and going through hell with NO cervix dilation, we chose to have him removed.

Mum and Dad have always kept our separate names, Bourke and Koolen respectively but with the new arrival we have joined them into one family name. We are all now Koolen-Bourke’s. Cody’s middle name comes from Dad’s best friend, Charles “The Machine” Warner.

Cody is an absolutely gorgeous little man and Mum and Dad love him to bits (We did way before he was born!). Our Building a Baby page which follows our IVF journey will now come to an end now that he’s built and switched on But our blog will continue to be updated for our friends and family who want to follow his life. Here’s one picture of Cody just under an hour old. Sharing some skin to skin with his Mum. Dad being an avid photographer, had his camera with him during the birth and operation so some pictures will be posted soon and you can see how a C-Section unfolds and how our little man came into the world.

See you all soon. Mum and Dad
