ONE WEEK!
Hi there all
Well in what seems like the blink of an eye we have had Abbey in our presence for a week now.
It has been a magical week and I think it is slowly sinking in that this amazing little person is our daughter. We think she is beautiful and since joining us she has not ceased to bring a smile to our faces.
Not a day goes by that we don't marvel at her little features or spend an hour or four just staring at her wondering what is going through her little mind. Wondering what that cry might mean of if she's going to sleep a little bit longer tonight.
Despite the broken sleep we're coping and when she's screaming the house down at 5am every part of you just loves her through it.
Ryan has taken well to nappy changing and volunteers his sevices even when it's become evident that it's not going to be a pleasant experience.
It feels like we've packed a bit into week one. Perhaps a little to much but somethings really had to be done.
Number one on the list was getting Abbey registered as the birth certificate is needed for a few things. Our need in particular is a passport for her as we're going to be going on a 3 week holiday in August. The poor child is going to be stuck with a baby photo for 5 yrs on her British passport but I don't think she'll mind too much. So that's being sent off tomorrow.
We had a visit from the paediatrician who checked her out for clicky hips and listened to her heart and lungs. All was well and Abbey was given a full bill of health.
We took her into the hospital on Friday for her hearing test. She was a bit too noisey to start with but with a milk-full breast waving in her direction it was too good to refuse, a marvelous distraction and she soon settled down. The test showed no problems with her hearing.
It's been great having Bex here. As aways she has been great compnay and we'll be sad to see her go on Tuesday but also excited to see her off on the next part of her journey.
A big thanks to all our family and friends who have sent us texts and emails with good wishes and congratulations. We're just delighted to be able to share this magical time with you all even though many of you are so far away.
