It's been a very busy week or so around here, VBG. First we started sorting out rooms ready for the builders to make repairs after our house fire, then on Sunday 11th January our second grandchild and first granddaughter Miss Amelie Jane decided she couldn't wait till early February and put in an appearance in a rather dramatic way by emergency Caesarian section. Her mummy was almost prepared for her arrival at home, with baby basket and clothing all washed and ready, but when she went to the hospital on Saturday she thought it was just for a few hours of monitoring.
Doctor decided to induce labour but it soon became obvious baby was distressed so the decision was taken to perform the Caesarian, which was very lucky because the umbilical cord was knotted. Amelie weighted in at 5lbs 8 oz and was 49 cm long. Not so tiny really, but to me she seems like a little dolly as my own babies all weighed in over 7lbs 3oz up to 9lbs 4 oz. Only one slight setback with low blood sugar since Sunday, but her mother is up and walking well, feeling great and looking forward to home and a comfortable bed. The plan is to discharge them from hospital on Thursday so it's "all hands on deck" to transport all the flowers, toys and gifts home from the hospital. The photo shows Amelie at day 3, that's her daddy's hair she has there as mummy's was blonde and very fine. Chin, nose and eyes are all mummy though. Isn't she a cute little bundle?

Awwwww...what a sweet little bundle of joy, and such a lovely name she has. Huge congratulations!! (now if I could only persuade my boys that I really do want to be a grandmother).
Lovely doll!
Welcome to this little treasure.
Congratulations to all concerned Christine -what a gorgeous baby girl,
ooohh Im getting all clucky. what a dear little thing, and a pretty name.
Congratulations to the parents and you and your husband as grandparents. That adorable baby is so obviously a girl! Something about the fine nose and sweet little lips. Having had a 6 week premature child who is now taller than most in her class, I can assure you all that early birth is not a problem.
what a sweetie, congratulations granma (gee, when some grannies get started there is no stopping them LOL)
Oh, Christine, she is adorable. How precious to love and cuddle. Big hugs to all!
