8 Weeks

 Eve Katie

Our gorgeous Eve reached her 2 month point on Thursday and had her first set of jabs. She did really well, and enjoyed a feed in the doctors surgery after the initial shock and pain of the injections. She slept on me and Sam throughout the course of the evening on the sofa, waking up regularly crying and immediately fell back to sleep. I'm guessing she was possibly feeling a bit ill or maybe it was just nightmares.

The past two nights she slept for 4 hours before waking up during the middle of the night for a feed and nappy change. I woke up this morning, daylight streaming through the curtains, feeling amazed that she had slept through the entire night, only to find out that Sam had got up at 4.30am to give her a bottle and change her. I was obviously dead to the world and didn't hear a thing. What a lovely husband I have!

Yesterday we had a wonderful day wandering about Gloucester Road in the sunshine. We then went and visited new baby Agnes Lily, the second daughter of my oldest friend Laura. Laura and I have know each other since we were 3 years old, so it's an incredible feeling, both of us sitting together enjoying cuddles with our babies. Eve loved sitting in the bouncer  which had a little mirror and rattles dangling down. Good stimulation for her.

My other good friend and bridesmaid Sarah gave birth to her first baby, Jake on the same day as Laura this week. What fab timing!!

Massive Congratulations beautiful ladies!

Eve smiles and giggles lots now. Last night she was awake for most of the evening and didn't want any milk, and had had nappy changes. I couldn't work out why she was grizzling. Sam played her some Pink Floyd with youtube footage of beautiful nature at the same time and she just loved it. We watched her intently. She really concentrated trying to move her arms in time with the music, rather than just flailing around. It was so cute.
