5 weeks already - time flies

Little girl had a rough day today. We went to Patchwork, the parent and baby group run by our local health visitors, and it was all a bit much and she had a big cry. We came home and snuggled under a blanket in a dark room and nursed while listening to some white noise, and she eventually settled and fell asleep. Poor little thing. Still, she got weighed there and they found she's 9lb14! A huuuge weight gain in a week! She's looking much bigger now than when we first brought her home, and she's way more alert and interested in what's going on around her. Plus she now fits some seriously cute clothes - check out these little lime green giraffe-print socks, a present from Nana Pat. I just love them! Plus the tiniest jeans ever - so adorable.





I could stare at her all day. She makes me so happy. Can you tell?


One thing I've noticed lately is just how much she loves her dad already. Last night she was sleeping when he got home from work, but she heard him singing to himself and started to smile and grin in her sleep. When he holds her, she stretches her arms out and puts her little hands on him and gives him a big hug.




Check out all that auburn hair! In the evenings she hangs out with her daddy while he uses his computer/my laptop, at times when I'm not feeding her. It's wonderful to see them bonding.




She got to meet Great Uncle Peter yesterday too! It was really lovely to see him, although there are no pics of Uncle Peter and Audrey as he had a sore throat and didn't want her to catch it. Hopefully next time he can have an Audrey-hug and we can get some pics!

In the mean time, hugs to you from me, Audrey Bea!

    Hiya Rachel, Ian & Audrey -
    So cool to see you relate your Audreyblog to Poppy's arrival! And fancy you remembering Libby and James - I had no idea you used to go see them too.
    Ian is such a poser - that's funny.
    I understand that Charlotte is now in the normal ward with the other mums (i.e. out of the intensive care unit thingy - which has got to be good news:)
    This is just a quick note as I am still looking after Jacqui who has struggled to throw off her cold thing for about 10 days now (wonderful woman sitting opposite her on the train back from London two weeks ago was sneezing straight at her it seems, and low and behold, three days later Jacqui starts with it - thanks anonymous woman)

    Hope you guys have a lovely week to come - love and hugs to you all.
    Peter & Jacqui xxx
