Dear all!
Most of you would have heard by now that on Thursday, 29th March we had a little girl named Lily Grace McDonald at 3:48pm,weighing 8 pounds / 3.63kg, 51 cm long and very beautiful! She was born at Nepean Public Hospital and spent her first 5 days at Nepean Private Hospital. She is a very placid little girl and has been such a blessing to us.

I was induced because she was 6 days overdue. The labour was under 4 hours and I only used some gas. Both Rohan (of course) and my mum were there when Lily was born. They were a brilliant support to me. Thank you so much Roh and Mum! The midwives, Sharon and Jo were also amazing and were a great encouragement and helped me reach my goal of having a natural delivery. When Lily was born it was very surreal seeing her for the first time but we fell in love instantly. As you can see from the photos...she is gorgeous! :) She was introduced to the immediate family straight away and they all fell in love with her too.
As you can see from the photos...she loves having a bath...she was falling asleep in there! But as soon as you take her out of the water....well that's a different story. She is like her Mum and doesn't like the cold! Her first bath was by a midwife and she was used for a bath demonstration for an antenatal class. It was nice to see mum and dads to be ooh and aah over her.
While in the hospital she lost more than 10% of her body weight, weighing 3.18kg. So we have had to both breast feed and top her up with some bottle formula feeds. She put on 200grams in 2 days! She is doing very well and feeding well.
Lily came home on 3/4/07, our 3rd year wedding anniversary. It was a nice present to each other to bring her home. we didn't get home until 10pm at night because i had to have tests during the day because i had some chest tightness and they wanted to make sure i didn't have a clot in my lungs. All the tests were fine and so we came home when we had clearance from the doctor. That night we had the best nights sleep since she was born. She slept for 5 hours straight and so did we! What a little angel!
well that's week one. stay tuned for more updates
Love From Mummy Amanda ;)
