Day Two

We're unlikely to keep this up for the next 6,568 days, but for the first few weeks anyway we'll try to put up some pictures of our new daughter every day. She's already changed, and (thankfully) looks a bit less battle-scarred than her first day.

She (who remains nameless) spent the night tormenting her mother by crying loudly and demanding to be fed. She must be a persuasive character, as she managed to wake up all the other babies in the ward and prompted them all to demand the same thing. I'm not sure mum (or any of the other mums) got much rest. She seems to be louder than all the other babies - I hope that's a good sign.

I swanned in at lunchtime to find a quiet, contented baby, building up some strength ready for the next night of shouting. Anyway, here's another picture - a bit fuzzy as it was taken on a mobile phone.

She looks so gorgeous, not so 'battled scarred' as yesterday, we can't wait to see her. I hope Marie-Claire has a better nights sleep with her. No doubt you are both looking forward to getting her home tomorrow. We both send you all lots of love xxxxx

Congratulations... she looks lovely!
Hope you are all coping well and get to go home soon (if you're not there already). We look forward to hearing more about your little family... we're taking notes on how it's done, you know... only 7 weeks to go for us!

Hi Dan and MC, well done! She is a real cutie and looks so much like you both that I laughed when I saw her - how lovely! Dan, you look like you are simply oozing with pride. Great to have the online link to hear about the exciting events 'oop North'. Love and hugs to all three of you from Cheltenham, Wen xx
