Smile!!

Just a quick update - Emma is smiling almost all the time... she is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Growing up!

Yes, we survived the 10 days without hubby/daddy and he is back from Zurich!! We went (with his parents) to pick him up from the airport this morning and it is unbelievably great to have him back and be a complete family again!!

The past 3 days we spent at my in-laws and we had a great time (despite missing hubby!). Emma is growing up incredibly quickly. She weighed 4,2kg's on Tuesday, is already 55cm long and she is really smiling!! (the picture shows but is it SO much nicer in real life!) At the moment she sleeps about one 5 to 6 hours stretch at night, and during the day she is much more awake and making conversation, smiling, looking around...

This coming weekend we are going on our first 'holiday' with little Emma! My family has a type of 'timeshare' in a house in Zebula (Mabalingwe) and we are joining them for an extended weekend away. Cannot wait!!

Time flies!!

I cannot believe Emma is 3 weeks old already!

We are doing great, she is growing, and I am adjusting to being a mom of a little vulnerable human being...

My hubby went overseas on Monday evening and will only be back next week Thursday, so for the moment I'm staying with my parents. I am really missing him, but it is fun being with my family and having lots of helping hands around... early in the morning my mom fetches her from my room (to give me an hour's extra sleep) and puts her into the bed with her granddad - it is so cute to see her sleeping in such a huge bed!

Today her cousin came to visit, we went for our customary Thursday-afternoon walk with the two of them in their strollers, and they were wearing the same outfit!! It was ADORABLE!! (see picture!)

I am slowly getting back in shape, cannot wait to start running again... think that I will start short runs in between the walking from next week. Comrades 2009... in 261 days... who knows...? :)
