My name is Oliver Donovan Morten. I was born on Saturday May 28th 2005 at 13:49 in The Cygnet Wing at Bedford Hospital, England. I weighed 8lbs 13½oz (4.06 kg in new money) when I was born and I measured 55cm from tip to toe. My head measured 37cm in diameter.

Here is a photo of me when I was about two hours old.
I didn't want to come out of Mummy's tummy so I had to be induced by the nice midwife. I was 13 days overdue and mummy was in labour for 20 hours. I still didn't want to come out so the doctor used forceps to help me.
My mummy is called Gitte and my daddy is called Andy. They were very happy to get me home from the hospital - mummy and I spent six days in there. I had jaundice in hospital and was yellow for a few days. This made me tired and I didn't want to eat so the midwives put a tube up my nose and into my tummy to give me lots of milk and I was put on a special blanket with a blue light. Mummy and daddy said I looked like a little glow-worm.
Mummy is Danish and daddy is English and they wanted me to have a name that would make sense in both languages. They chose Oliver - I don't know if they named me after Mr Twist, Reed, Cromwell or Postgate. My middle name is Donovan. He is a singer that mummy and daddy like. Now I like him too. Sometimes they call me Ollie, Chumley or Matey and I don't know what to think!
I like cuddles, playing on my mat, listening to Donovan, having a bath and going for walks but best of all I like the magic MILKO!
