baby girl

quick word - had a healthy baby girl - Riley Diana. Caesarian after going into labour...couldn't get pass that magic mark of 8cm. Just as well I didn't have a natural birth - Riley was bigger than Caleb - 4.52 kilos or 9.9lbs and 56cm long or 22inches.

I thank the LORD for blessing us with another healthy child. I feel like I have been waiting for her for ages, so am soooo happy we are both home and well.

will write more when I have energy.

OH my gosh!!!
I am so glad I checked your blog today!
Congratulations Dear sister in Christ!!

Riley Diana. That is so different and neat.

Big baby....when was she actually born?
My new niece is now 3 weeks old and very cute. I got to hold her a week ago.
Well, get your rest and talk to you soon
(how does Caleb like being a big bro??)

hi Faith and Lill
forgot i didn't say what day! She was born 3rd July in the afternoon.

Caleb is all over her! Wants to hug her, hold her, pat her, kiss her! He tries to be gentle but then he gets excited and squashes her, so I have to be quick and rescue her. He tried to climb into her bassinette the other day!

She's a nite owl like me - sleeps during the day and keeps me up all nite. It's going to be fun working out routines for her and caleb because they are both in our room:)

Grandma is in caleb's room at the moment, so when she goes will have to work out how to wean caleb out of our room without him feeling rejected and resentful to his little sister...plus wean me off having my son close to me.

Either that or we are going to need a bigger room!

Will visit your blogs tomorrow if I have moment. Myles' sister is coming over from New Zealand on Frid, and we've had visitors every day since I've been home.

Thanks for the e-card Lill.

And thanks to you both for the prayers...I'm finally not preggy hooorraaay!!! Can't wait to recover from my caesarian op and then run around with caleb.

God bless you both!
