Does her Nose beep?

In our household, noses "beep". Summer is just checking out Katies nose to see if it works!

3.30 am!

3.30 AM, cue both girls up, unimpressed parents, unhappy Summer & Katie, its just as well they are cute.
Not a great start to Nics First day back at work. Katie finally put on a little bit of weight which is a relief, jaundice seems to be improving.

I am dreaming of the day when I can have a big glass of wine.......and more than a few hours sleep

Being a big sister.

Baby!, shouts Summer excitedly. She seems to have adjusted very well to another little person in the house. I got home from hospital a day earlier than expected which was great. We have had lots of visitors including excited grandparents which has made summer very happy, she loves people.

Katie is doing well, she is a little jaundiced which we are having checked out at the hospital. She is currently blissfully asleep looking very cute.

No new photos, sorry you will have to wait for Nic to do an entry, I still have baby brain and it seems far to complicated to do!

Katie Eve is Here!!!!

She has arrived, 7lb 10oz, brown hair, green eyes, perfect...

The day has gone so smoothly, no problems delays hitches at all. If ever there was something to be thankful to God for its days like today.

One days to go

This time tomorrow....................will be amazing. I was reminded of that first cuddle, first smell, first look of a brand new baby. I cant wait!!

I hope this little one is prepared for the amount of cuddles and kisses that are coming her way from a very happy older sister!

Photos will appear shortly....

Three days to go!

Yes, we have three days to go before the three of us becomes four. Summer is constantly talking about babies, although she seems to think that everyone has one in their tummy including herself and her daddy! I am not sure how she will cope with the reality of the baby actually living here though.

I am writing this whilst Summer has her nap, she is trying to stop doing this, whilst I am trying to con tinue them for as long as possible. Summer won yesterday, but I won today!

Opps, spoke to soon. Hopefully Nic will update this next week with pictures of the newest Allen

Untill then.

Bittersweet

Seven days to Christmas and about four weeks until the three of us become four. We have not panicked about Christmas at all this year, we are too busy panicking about our soon to be expanded family. Carpet has finally been laid in the bedrooms, Summer crawled over it and shouted in delight, poor depraved child!

I have been wanting to write about the bittersweet emotions that seem to catch up with me, but its hard to put down in words. Every scan we have been for indicates that this baby is perfectly fine, something worth rejoicing for and yet it does tug at me that this is what scans for Summer should have been like. I feel this baby kick and I know I will be able to kiss its feet and they will move. I watch summer sitting and dancing to music and see how much she loves it and again it tugs at your heart to know that ballet classes are not going to be where I will be sending her.

I know that these things are so small though. We have so many things to be thankful for and so many things Summer has already achieved and will do in the future. We eagerly await this new ones arrival (although not before the New Year thank you very much!)

Trust in the lord with all your heart,
do not lean on your own understanding,
acknowledge him in all that you do
and he will give you straight paths
