Baby Butterfly

Born on the 4th of July... she's our little Butterfly.

Born just before 11am weighing 3.59kg (7lb 14oz) she entered the world screaming... and screaming some more... and then screaming a bit more just for good measure. The OB threatened to not let her back in theatre to see me if she didn't stop her screaming... he was just joking but she did settle down just in time to come back in and cuddle with me while I was getting my insides stitched back inside me.

She was 1 week old in the photo at the top, she's two weeks old today... I'm a bit slow with this stuff lately.

She's eating well, sleeping well and generally being wonderful!

Welcome to the world little Butterfly.

Sweetness...

It's a girl!

My little brother and his lovely wife (Romeo and Juliet) had a little baby girl on Sunday, their first child.  We are soooo excited!  She hasn't got a name yet.  Well, she has a REAL name but not a blog name.  I have been trying to think of a name for her but not knowing if she was going to be a he or a she I just couldn't think of anything.  Now I'm thinking ladybug... bug for short... she is TINY!  But it's not up to me... her mummy blogs as well so she'll need to pick something... but my vote is for ladybug... for now.  Just look at her girliness... she's grandaughter #2 for my parents (along with their 4 grandsons) and grandaughter #4 for Juliet's parents (they are yet to find out how crazy grandsons are)

I just couldn't get over how tiny she was.  6lb 3oz (2.82kg), 48cm long... TINY.

I got to have a cuddle yesterday... she started sooking so someone had to help her.  She let out a tiny ladylike pop of gas and snuggled down to sleep again.  Even her gas is cute.

Please excuse the poor photography.  I was just using my little snappy camera which has something against producing photos that are in focus but there will be plenty of photos to come, I am positive!  I get to do a newborn photo shoot of this little bundle and her cousin (Juliet's sister's daughter) who is only a matter of weeks older.  I can't wait!  Then we'll be putting together a keepsake book for the two little sweeties with photos from the pregnancy shoot I did with their mummies... I am really looking forward to seeing the end result of this photography project!  But for now I'm just going to enjoy all the pinkness and then go and play with some Tonka trucks before I get any crazy ideas...

A New Baby

It's a very exciting morning here!!!!

Our very good friends Uncle A & Aunty C have had a new little baby!

Born in the wee hours of this morning at only 33 weeks their little girl C is tiny, only 5lb 8 1/2 oz or 2.51 kg, that's a whole kilo less that either of my babies.

If only we were in the same town I would be at the hospital to get some photos today...

They have two big girls E and A and in 2007 they gave birth to an angel Ch.

Please pray for baby C as she gets bigger and stronger. That there would be no complications and she would get home soon. In time for me to visit in February would be great:)

I am assuming she is a little stunner like all their girls, nudge nudge A, we'll be watching for some photos!

Sorry if this is all run into each other, blogger is not formatting properly today, that's blogger for ya.
