In the afternoon we went with Martina for an ice cream, my second walk outside. Hurrah! On the way we went into the local Post Office to send pictures of me all round Europe; Mum and I only stayed for two seconds because it was roasting, but that was long enough for the two women […]
One of Mum’s best friends, my godmother Martina, came to visit at lunchtime. She’s staying till Friday: I think it’s very good to be able to make so many friends so early in my life! Jutta came for the next check-up: all is fine, and she’ll be back on Friday to give me another bath. […]
Slept from 10 to 4, then a quick feed and slept through till 8: if the concept of beauty sleep really is true, then I must be very beautiful indeed! Had an appointment with my new baby specialist osteopath today. She said that I was in excellent condition for a baby who’d had my kind […]
This time I didn’t quite manage to sleep through: I got Mum up at 2 for a feed, and then slept till 6.30. Jutta came to see me again, and then it was time for another big event in my life: my first bath, which of course I had in the…kitchen! It was the only […]
Another peaceful day after feeding big yesterday: we slept through again till five or so. After a short feed we slept a while longer. Jutta came round at 9.30am, and said Mum was doing just fine. She was happy to see that the rest of my umbilical cord had fallen off, and to hear that […]
…I’m one week old! And taking it as easy as I can… Mum is, naturally, taking constant care of me, and the other three are supporting her in any way they can. They all went shopping today, and then Dad got some more baby things from over the road. I must say it’s good that […]
Woke up refreshed, having slept through, and I was very excited because I was going out for the first time: Mum had an appointment with the osteopath, and then I had my first appointment with the paediatrician, to check the mark on my head and just give me the once-over… However, I was so excited […]
After I had fed at 3am, Mum woke Dad at 4 to ask him to take a spider away from the corner of the room: it was getting a little too close to my bed for comfort, and she didn’t want to take any chances. Dad looked like he was still asleep as he half-sleepwalked […]
Today began with Findus The Dog coming for a few hours to get to know me a bit better. He sniffed a bag with one of my old nappies in it, and seemed to understand straight away that there was a new member of the gang. He was a little bit quiet, but I’m sure […]
My first full day at home! I’m pleased to report that the night was quite peaceful, and apart from waking up twice to feed, we all slept through. Jutta (the super midwife) came to check on us while I was having lunch, and gave Mum some tips on recovering after all her efforts over the […]
