Wee girl home 31st Oct - newly made big brother saw her arrival as a treat rather than trick and his only 'grump' is Mummy can't carry him to bed or lift him onto her lap owing to the C-section incision.

 

She is incredibly tiny but feeding quite well and her parents are sure she's grown considerably since coming home so they're saying please don't over-send preemie stuff she's going to outgrow by next week. 

 

OK yeah, I'm definitely biased but blimey that little girl is the most beautiful infant! She looks like her mum but also like her paternal aunt at that age - big brown eyes, tonnes of brown-gold hair and LOL (poor Fox and his wife) is so far acting the same sort of diva her paternal aunt did at that age. 

 

She's very alert, eyes focussing and tracking perfectly and she's genuinely smiling at family members - none of that 'oh it's just wind', she looks right at a person and smiles, most of all at her big brother. And LOL, she's already quite skilled at pulling Daddy's beard:)

 

The paediatrician says she's already 'caught up' and is on the upper percentile of her due date group (due date was 15 Nov, Little Miss arrived via emergency C-section early 26th Oct).

 

So far so good, thanks be to God.
