Well..maybe not at the very start....
Niamh Rose Simons arrived on Friday 26 March at 6:29pm at Middlemore Hospital weighing 3.530kg (7 pound 12.5 ounces) delivered by c-section. I was very happy to be having her after 3 days of labour and even then bubby was in no hurry to be arriving...she was already 5 days over and seemed to be on her own time frame. Bless her!!! :)
A few minutes old!
Niamh has been a busy girl since then, sleeping and feeding and growing. At the last plunket check she weighed 4.5kg, was 53 cm long (49cm at birth) and head circumference of 38cm (35cm at birth) all this at 7 weeks old. She is doing really well. At this stage Niamh is waking once in the night at around 2am for a feed. Sometimes she even gets to 3am (up to 6 hours !!!) making me a very happy mummy! However, that does come with me waking early wondering if she is ok when I haven't heard her in a while....I suppose I have another 20 or so years of that to go... :)
