A brand new Baby

Yesterday I went to see my good friend Liane’s baby daughter Jade. Jade was born last Friday so was only 3 days old and she is my first brand new baby I have experienced in New Zealand, which goes to show I must hang out with a big crowd of boozy mates to whom the thoughts of getting pregnant is filled with dread as the thoughts of not drinking for a whole nine months and longer if you breast feed!!

She was just the cutest thing, she was born by C section so she wasn’t all scrunched up as some babies can be and she is a very chilled little thing, fully aware of noises and movement around her but not disturbed by it all. It was so lovely to hold her and watch her gurgle away, I think mid-wifes have a cool job they get to hold these little miracles on a daily basis, however I have no plans on changing my career as if they were all as cute as Jade I would end up wanting to take them home with me !!!

I cant wait for us to get married so we can start our own brood, but in the meantime I will be quite happy playing Aunty Eyleen to baby Jade.
