Yes today is Emily's 15th day in the world and she is not particularly enjoying the hot weather. She doesn't seem to like being naked so it is a bit of a problem when we take her clothes off to cool her down!
Today she was discharged from the midwife at a mighty 8 lbs 4 oz in weight. The midwife assures me that it is encouraging that she is thriving and putting so much on so quickly. I am not so sure but I have to trust her!
My niece was also discharged today at a healthy 7lbs 8 oz so all is well there too.
We are taking Emily on her first road trip and holiday the weekend. We are going to Northern Ireland to visit with my parents before the got to Romania on Monday and also to visit our Nana who is in hospital. We are looking forward to introducing Emily to her great grandmother, cousins, uncles, aunts and extended family. We are excited about the visit but are also aware that the drive is pretty long with a 2 1/2 week old baby and with Jamie working this week, tying up loose ends at school and looking after us in the middle of the night, I know he is pretty shattered. We will flop after the weekend and chill out in the beautiful countryside and scenery of N.Ireland.
