Six months old today........

Well Ali turns six months old today which means she is growing up too fast for my liking. Seeing as I have only just resurrected this blog I almost need to do a retrospective of the last six months to catch up. Perhaps I will start with Ali's first six months and then do a catchup of Mia & Sam separately?

Alice Leena Clark was born at 3:18pm on Feb 4 2007 at 38weeks gestation. She weighed 7lb 2oz, was 48cm long and was born after a 1hr 28min labour. I took no pain relief and it was the best labour I've had so far (I figure by the third time around you tend to know what you're supposed to do!)

This video was taken at 2am when she was 11hrs old and I couldn't sleep due to the natural high I was still on. Listen to her gorgeous singing....I wonder did she sing like this inutero? That first night in the hospital room with your newborn is priceless!




This picture is one of my favourites and was taken when she was 4days old on the bed in our hospital room.



And one of my two girls together (again taken in hospital)



Well that movie has just taken 1.5hrs to upload so I'll be back with more of this post at another time.
