Naomi one month old!

Our baby is getting bigger as you can see. She has chubbier cheeks and is gaining weight well! We can't wait for the first smiles and are enjoying her development. Parenthood is going great especially as naomi is such a good girl and loves her food and sleep! She is getting into a routine now and I am getting into being a full time mummy! This week was a bit of a test as chris was away for work for 4 days. We missed daddy a lot but we managed! Its great to spend time with other mums, go to Starbucks and walks with the pram, Yep I can handle it! Who says this is hard work?!

We are family!

Well thought I'd give you a bit of an update on our life as a family. I know the pictures and videos give you a good insight into the last amazing 2 weeks! Its the most incredible experience ever and the reality that we have a daughter has not quite sunk in yet, until she reminds us with her very strong lungs!
Naomi is an very content little girl and we are very blessed that she feeds and sleeps so well. I'll try not to boast too much but she sleeps through sometimes but generally feeds 4 hourly so we get to have some decent sleep which is great! She certainly takes after her mummy and daddy who love their food and sleep! being a midwife helps to be a relaxed mum and its getting easier now to deal with her crying moments and getting to know her generally. We are enjoying venturing out together in the car and pram and Naomi is already a regular at Starbucks! She has stayed at Grandad and Nana's and of course loved spending a whole week with Opa and Oma (Leonore's parents) who came over from Holland. We are organising a passport for her so we can take her to meet the rest of the dutch family in september who can't wait to see her! We have just had a lovely weekend with Adriaan, Rebecca and Anna. We can't wait for the cousins to grow up and be best buddies just like their mums!
Talking about mummy or mama as I will be, she's doing very well too. I feel great and am amazed at how quick my body is back to normal, the quick birth helped of course. Daddy is doing very well too and loves his beautiful little girl! He struggles a bit hearing her cry but he's coping well with the dirty nappies! well, thats all for now.
