    Our imp is finally here!

    Hi all! I know I've said that I wanted to be more active here, but this little imp threw a spanner in the works. She was born on the 3rd of June at 5lbs 11oz. We've spent the last four weeks painstakingly trying to get her back up to her birth weight as she lost 14% of it in her first five days. The midwife weighed her again today, and she's just shy of 6lbs (woohoo!). After countless house visits and getting referred to the hospital for a battery of tests, the NHS finally agrees with us that there is nothing wrong with our baby. She really is just small.

    Congratulations to both of you for producing such a beautiful little girl!

    Thanks, Michael! I'd post pictures of her looking angelic and cute, but the pictures I've been taking are of the funny faces she pulls.

    Congratulations. It is normal for the weight to drop after birth as the baby's body has to adjust to another form of feeding. Our daughter was the same, also very small, but she is a bundle of screaming joy now, and nearly a year old now.
    Enjoy these days as they grow so quickly.

    Congratulations to you and your *husband ( I don't think you've ever mentioned *his name ... though I seem to recall you once saying he is/was a member here too! ) Denise, on the safe arrival of your daughter.

    ... have you decided on a name for her yet?

    Thank you, everyone! Forgive me for not replying sooner. I can honestly say I have no idea where this last week has gone. It feels like one long day of nursing and changing nappies.

    Congrats on the little cutie! What did she weigh?

    Our little drama queen has a strong set of lungs on her too. Thankfully, none of our neighbors mind the wailing.

    No worries! I don't mind the questions. My husband's name is Matt, and our baby's name is Freya Marie.

    .... WoW! .................... 's also the name of my darling wee granddaughter. Yep, Freya Iris ... her middle name being in memory of her maternal grandmother - my [late] first wife.
