Aaaaawww look at her, she's already gotten her first prey, ain't that cute.
Congrats to you all - and a special congrats to Amy for doing all the hard work. Glad Ava wasn't the behemoth they were predicting; also insanely jealous of anyone who gives birth to anything under 10lbs.
She'll settle into a routine (hopefully) soon - main thing is she's here, safe, healthy and now you get to turn into one of those people who talks nappies, puke, poop colour and the classic, "I'll NEVER let MY child do THAT" judgments which once uttered will invariably mean your child WILL do "that", and as often and publicly as possible.
Congrats again!
Thanks everyone. :thumbsup:
Yeah she was much smaller than we had been told and we had stopped buying small size clothes because of this. Luckily we did bring some along as well as the larger size ones to the hospital so she had something to come home in. Though she was born at 8.50am & we were ready to come home by 12pm, had to wait for a computer issue to be fixed (was tempted to ask them if they wanted my help) so we didn't actually leave until 4pm.
She's been quite good so far, she slept for most of the 1st day. We had to set alarms to wake her up to feed on the 1st night. Theb she has only woken up in night twice on the following 2 days. So fingers crossed she continues like this.

Well that's pretty cool - nothing like getting a chance to sleep in the early days. To be honest, all of mine were excellent sleepers from day one (of course now that's all gone to hell), so fingers crossed indeed for Ava. You are better parents than me - when Jake didn't feed for the first 16 hours after birth, I just let him sleep. Too damn lazy to be getting up in the night, thank you very much...
Took her to Derby earlier to see how she would handle longer car journeys & using the proper pram rather than car seat attached to it. She slept the entire way there and woke up once in the 7 hours we were there to feed and went back to sleep. Woke her up to feed once since & this is her current position...
Hopefully she sleeps through tonight too and only wakes to feed (fingers crossed).
I never realized how much like your avatar you looked. By the way, your head is huge compared to your baby's.
Yeah, hope it's a case of her being rather little than me having a big head. :laugh:
Give it three months, tops. Babies are super tiny when they're born but they grow up fast. Six months and she'll be moving around on her own and learning to laugh.
1st official Father's Day and she's growing up fast, nearly 5 months old already, where does the time go?
Bottom right picture: stick a beard on her and she's basically you. In pink.
Mental images are quite interesting right now...

:laugh: Loads of people have said she looks like me now, she might get a beard by time adolescence kicks in.
Patience & in my case overnight usually. :laugh:
