Adele Lydia Mudie born on the 27th of June. Weighing 4.3…ouch….kilograms. Or for the oldies, 9lb 7oz.
Now when you have a baby you do get asked the same questions. So here we go.
Question: How was the labour? My answer to other mothers: The most horrific experience in my life….I am never ever doing that again……I thought I was going to die!…….. Who the heck convinced me that labour was easier than the recovery from a c-section????? Cause I could inflict some pain on them that will make them wish they were in labour.
My answer to prospective mothers: Oh yeah, we survived…you’ll be fine!
Question: Is she feeding well? Answer: Have you seen the size of her? I think she’s been eyeing Isaac off as a tasty morsel.
Question: Is she sleeping well? Answer: Yes. Just waking once in the night for a feed (insert smug tone)
Question: How is Isaac reacting to her? Answer: He knows she is a part of our family now and has been good with her. However, I’ll get back to you when Stephen returns to work and I’m juggling the needs and wants of two tackers.
Question: Why do you still look 6 months pregnant? (Yeah I know you’re thinking it!)
Question: Where are the photos???? Answer: Here! Adele at 6 days old.
Adele, we love you very much and are blessed beyond measure to have you in our lives. I promise to try and refrain from calling you Chunky Monkey in front of your friends. Love Mummy.
