Imogen you are one month old today.
You were born 4th November 2008 at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport at 21.45. You were bum breech which was only discovered at the last minute, you were delivered naturally and i had no pain relief.
Your dad was there for every moment and saw you arrive, up until the fact that you were breech was discovered everything had been really relaxed, i was in the birthing pool, we had the radio on, dimmed lights, your dad was making us cups of coffee and we were sharing the gas and air every time the midwife left the room! We were both so happy to finally meet you.
You have changed so much already since you were born, you weighed 7lb exactly when you were born, you were weighed yesterday and you are now 8lbs 6oz.
Your daddy is already calling you "Daddy's little porker" and "little fat sausage", he is so pleased with how well you are doing.
You have started to be more awake and alert now but you still sleep a lot, we are feeding you every 4 hours, i look after you during the day and then when daddy comes home from work he gives you a bath and feeds you before bed.
You love it when daddy gives you a bath, he selects different music for you to listen to each night and then he lays you on the changing mat, takes your clothes off and has a "dance" with you before you get in your bath. He moves your legs and your arms in time to the music and you lie there looking more than contented, i cant wait till you can smile and we start to get an obvious reaction. You seem to enjoy being in the bath too and when daddy pretends to bite your neck you kinda move but dont cry or make unhappy faces, we are convinced you like it when he does it.
You go to bed at around 8pm after your bath and a bottle, your dad then wakes you at 12am for another feed. I then take over again as daddy has to go to work so i get up with you at 4am and then 8am and the day starts again.
We are both tired, some days very tired but we love it, we love that you have made us a family and we love the beautiful baby girl we have been blessed with. We cant wait to get to know you properly.
