Baby Mia is now officially one week old. She has been feeding well and sleeping like a dream. Her cord stump came off a few days ago an has been bleeding slightly. The midwife advised washing with cool boiled water which I must do tomorrow during her nappy change.

Mia 6 days old
I have to say, Mia is an absolute PERFECT baby. She feeds until full then sleeps. She does not need to be rocked or cajoled into the latter. She simply drifts off. A few minutes ago I was holding her and she was looking at me. Suddenly she gave me a big smile. Okay, I …
Jake meets Mia – 1 day old
Jake met Mia yesterday for the first time! He was so excited and immediately climbed onto the bed to give her a big cuddle. He then very gently stroked her head and gave her a little kiss on top of her head. It was the sweetest thing to watch.Later Mia had her first bath and …
It is time
Amy started contractions at around 10pm while being monitored at the hospital. We had gone in to talk about inducing but the friendly mid-wives set about getting her ready for inducing. Had to wait an age before a less than sympathetic consultant told us off for suggesting that the hospital had got the dates wrong(they …
Back at the hospital, 12 days overdue

We took a trip to the hospital yesterday to have baby monitored. Halfway through said monitoring process Amy actually started to have contractions every 3-5 minutes apart. After the monitoring had finished the midwife came in and looked at Amy’s face. She then said “I can see that your labour has started”.

Snow joke
Last night I was worried. I looked out of the window at 9pm and everything was blanketed in a downy duvet of snow. Minutes later I saw a car career into one of the neighbour’s parked cars. After watching CBB, we went to sleep although it took me ages to actually drift off. Amy was …
All is well
Jake has come out of his night time terrors. After the last bad sleepless night we had, Ames had a talk with him explaining why Mummy and Daddy needed their sleep and that if we were tired we would not be able to go out during the day. In addition the Tower of Doom was …
Hello 2010
Goodbye Noughties, hello Tenties or Tens or Tennies. Well another new year is upon the Wollny family. Baby was due yesterday but no sign. I am back to work tomorrow and Jake is still poorly. In fact the poor mite has been poorly all over the Christmas break. We had some sleepless nights just before …
