Oh sweet baby of mine..

These past 21 weeks (just short of 5 months) have been a complete blur.. The first four weren't exactly the happiest of times. She certainly kept us on our toes. Having gone through the NICU experience twice I can safely say I do not want to see inside of that place again.

The nurses, doctors and surgeons were fantastic. It amazes me what can be done on such a small baby. Luna had her surgery at three days old, part of her bowel removed and placed back in the correct place, appendix out. All on a tiny 5lb 9oz baby.

I certainly cant imagine life without her. Looking back we had late night conversations on who she

would look like, whether or not she would have hair, how we are going to cope with two children. Now I spend days kissing her tiny nose and cuddling on the sofa while watching Archie play. Archie has been an amazing big brother. Yes he may sometimes poke her in the eye or try and feed her crisps. But there are times I catch him peering into the Moses basket or rocking her back to sleep. He is totally fascinated by this tiny human being.

They are two completely different children. Luna will happily be held all day, snuggled into a blanket. Archie settled by himself and never really wanted to be held. He is extremely independent only looking for affection when he wants it. The past five months he has suddenly grown into this fantastic little boy. Totally rocking the big brother position.
