11 weeks old!


I know that I have had a break from blogging for a bit but guess who has clipped my wings?!! Fortunately, Naomi sleeps through the night so I feel that I have a bit more time and sanity(!!) to blog again. On the whole, things are settling down which is very welcome. Naomi is able to smile more now but it's not guaranteed just look at the photo! She was lying on the bed watching our ceiling fan.
So much has happened since my last blog, Naomi has had her jabs and has been to 4 Mother & Toddler groups and I have changed countless nappies!!! Naomi is meeting many people and seems not to have a care in the world - yay! What's more, the crying seems to be contained (at last!) and sleep is no longer a luxury.
Whilst it has been wonderful getting to know Naomi there have been times tinged with sadness at the memory that Daniel only came home at 11 weeks. There is a sense of loss for that time that we didn't spend with him particularly when time was so short. I guess you could say that some wounds are not as well healed as I am now in environments which are more likely to trigger memories. This has come as a bit of a surprise but that said we are able to enjoy Naomi and celebrate her uniqueness. We also know her better than we did Daniel at this age. She also gets spoiled and not by us, I might add...
We have sent Naomi's passport off and hope to take her to France with us as soon as we can.
Smiling here but I can't remember what triggered this.
Just a quick update to stop the blogging nagging...
