New baby – day 2 – she is lovely, gradually losing her squashed birth face, when she was born she looked a bit like a Klingon or possibly a Schnauzer in Helen’s opnion – she had such a furrowed brow- when she cries she turns an amazing red colour – almost all over, not just her face, but legs etc. as well.
Had a dreadful night with her though – she is getting the idea of feeding, but Helen isn’t producing much milk yet, so leaves her a bit unsettled Whatever, the reason she didn’t settle. Eventually at about 4-5 am I got up with her just to give Helen a chance of a few hours rest as she was just fussing with her all the time, and just crying with me. Stringbean was a pain in those first 6-8 weeks, I hope this doesn’t mean Butterbean will be as well. I will have to try and avoid reading how well Josie is doing at night over on
– but did the home from home unit, with a nice big bath/pool, labour progressed so quickly I only just got back in time (born about 20 minutes after I got there, much to our surprise). Anyway, she is gorgeous 
Home quickly as we could – born 00.22 a.m., home by about 10.00 a.m
