All home safely

We were discharged from hospital last night around 6pm - after finally managing to pass the baby test! Who would have thought that you needed to score at least 80 out of 100 on the multi choice section and write a 500 word paragraph on how to change a nappy whilst making dinner at 8pm at night during a power-cut!


We made it through our first night together - Sophie has been excellent, feeding regularly, and sleeping through from about midnight until 8am.


The midwife comes to visit us sometime this morning, and after that I have to race around to make sure that Sophie's birth is registered properly, that the application for a baby passport (so she can go to NZ at Easter) is done and so that we can start claiming child benefits.


Here's Sophie's entry into the "cutest baby of all time" competition, on her arrival home last night

She definitely gets my vote in the competition. She should also enter for "world traveler" as I see a bunch of that coming up in the near future. xoxo
