MOrning all!!

Luxxe is down for her big nap so I'm putting it to good use !

Dh and I had a lovely brunch of french toast and a big pot of tea.... had 2 parcels arrive this morning also.... so have been playing with all the new baby clothes and toys

I've put a load of washing on and now i"m going to email some photos around and then have a shower which should bring us right to luxxe's wake up time and ready and clean for a feed!

Can't beleive she's nearly 2 weeks old!!


Jillian!!! Imogen is a month old already! unreal how fast time goes by.


my mum is ringing several times a day to get baby updates

she's going to get a 3 phone today so that she can video call us. We video called my dad's phone yesterday during Luxxe's bath! so cute!

It's so cool having that kind of technogoly so easily available.. makes the distance bearable.


I'm a bit excited because I seem to be shrinking in the belly area!! YAY!!!

tried on some pre-pregnant clothes and I could almost do up the zip! I figure that's pretty good for 10 days post partum.

Midwives reckon 6 weeks is the magic number forr body to be back to normal.

well....love to everyone!

glad everyone is back home safe and healthy and healing.

I'm just so upset that so many of us didn't get the birth we wanted/hoped for/dreamt about/planned

I know that having healthy babies is really the big blessing here and that we all came out of the process ok too....


I just think that 9 months of built up expectation deserves a bit of grieving or another word I can't think of.


I think I might look into having a birth de-brief counselling session. just so I can formally deal with it and then move on now... rather than hang on to it.


I have to say that everyday with Luxxe makes the birth seem less of a big thing in my moment to moment life....

anyway - off to send pics to the family!
