Finally an update.

I'm sure people don't bother reading this as I never update!
Ruby is heading for 7 months and is still wonderful. We have started weaning and after 3-4 weeks of puree have decided to do baby led weaning instead. I'm so much more relaxed now and Ruby is having a lot of fun.
She's also rolling a lot and probably won't be long crawling. She loves to "talk" and has started to say mamamamama. She sits really well unsupported and now has a highchair which she loves.
We were in Ireland recently visiting my mum and Ruby coped really well with the journey ( we drove to Wales and got the ferry) She was really spoiled while we were there and lots of people bought her new clothes and toys.

5 months today!

Apologise to anyone who still checks in for me being so rubbish at updating!

Ruby is 5 months old today!

She is wonderful! Very active and always busy! Has stopped sleeping through the night but only wakes once. She loves when we sing to her and she likes to bounce! She fed from a cup for the first time yesterday while mama was in the hospital! She likes to lie on her tummy and play with her toys and can roll from front to back. She has rolled from back to front once but doesn't seem keen to do it again!

3 months today!

Ruby is 3 months old today, and she is fantastic! She's developing so fast, turning into a proper little person. She loves to "talk", has discovered her feet, sleeps through the night, loves to smile though not for the camera. I had her weighed today and she's now 12 lbs 2 oz.

Here are some pictures.

Update

Apologies for taking so long to update! Motherhood is hard work. Ruby will be 7 weeks old on Tuesday :o) She is wonderful. Sleeping through the night, smiling, discovering her hands, a real chatterbox and generally a very happy girl. She's fully breastfed and last week weighed 10lbs 2oz. I love being a mama.

Here are some more pictures.

She's here!

Ruby Jane Ena was born at 05.54 on 26th December 2006, she weighed 8lbs 10oz. After 5 days of contractions she was eventually born in hospital in the operating theatre by forceps. She is wonderful and such a blessing. We've been quite overwhelmed but we're gradually starting to feel human again!

Anyway, just wanted to update so you know we're fine and that Ruby finally arrived!

Baby please come out.....

Well I had a homevisit from the midwife this evening and she attempted a membrane sweep, well lets just say it was a very uncomfortable experience and it didn't work as she couldn't reach my cervix. I have been booked for an induction on the 26th, but I have no intention of going for that unless they can tell me that baby is at risk and prove it.

Anyway, long story short, I'm still here and still pregnant and ready to have this baby, but she is not ready to be had!

Still here!

Well I'm still pregnant! My due date according to my scan was yesterday but according to my dates I'm not due til Sunday. No sign of anything happening though I have been having Braxton Hicks on and off and some mild period type pains. I think she's going to come over the weekend, but that remains to be seen!

Here's the latest bump photo, taken last week!
