Matt and his family gave you some Duplo to play with when you get a bit older. Ashton sent a gorgeous white onesie up and Connor and Fran sent you a cute Pooh Bear rattle. Jan and Kevin brought you a cute pink onesie and Lorraine gave you a cute pink woollen singlet. Bev from Daddy's work gave us a Pumpkin Patch voucher and Calie a Dr Seuss book. A mushroom blanket and rabbit hooded towel from Pumpkin Patch from one of Daddy's patients Kate, Bill, Kaila, Jodi and Chelsi and other patients Lindsay and Ruby Crawford gave you a warm polar fleece cot blanket and cute set of cot sheets. More patients Mike and Gem gave you some delicious Nature Baby Soap and patients Mark and Sarah gave you a cute bumble bee beanie that Sarah knitted. The Newport's sent up a gorgeous Nature Baby onesie and leggings set.
On Sunday night of your third week, you had your first outing. Normally we have Sunday roast at Nana and Poppa's and this week we thought we would give it a go taking you. You had already had some dinner and were tucked up fast asleep in your bed earlier so I carefully moved you into your car seat and packed the nappy bag ready for our trip out. Daddy grabbed your bed and placed that in the car you were obviously tired because you slept through it all and when we got to Nana and Poppa's we decided you looked so peaceful in your carseat that we would leave you to sleep in their room under the heat pump to keep warm. We were able to have dinner and stay a little while after that before you started to want your second dinner and we headed home.
On Monday Therese called in again to see how we were doing and to check on your progress again you had put on weight and were turning on the cute factor. You now weigh 7lb 4 oz which is one ounce more than what I weighed when I was born. I got a rude shock to motherhood this week! You have always been great at making dirty nappies but today as I changed your already dirty nappy I heard your bottom begin to bubble and started to move your legs down however I didn't fire them down fast enough because the poo shot out all over me!
Tuesday we had our first big outing just you and I. Daddy reminded me to make your car seat click, I think he was a little nervous about the two of us heading out on our own. We headed back to River Ridge to see a paediatrician to check everything is as it should be and of course it was. Once again you looked like a very loved little girl who is doing well. Poppa Head had just had an operation at the hospital next door so we called in to surprise him and he was very excited to see his little granddaughter as his first visitor.
The following week you gained more weight, weighing in at 7lb 15oz and we headed out for our first proper trip to catch up with the other mums and babies from our antenatal group. You have really got the hang of this eating and sleeping business and are the perfect little baby because of it.
