And then there were 3...

Annabel is such a treasure!
Some highlights from the first 10 days:
Her first bath at home started wonderfully - she seems to like the water. The basin is a little small though, so not much splashing around yet. After washing her hair and starting with the rest, the bubbles started ... soon there were yellow floaty bits everywhere - all that cleaning gone backwards! She then just got a rinse under the tap. Her next bath was a little less eventful:)

When we left the hospital she'd lost 7.6% of her birth weight, which it still ok and expected. However the midwife suggested we try feeding her every 2-3hrs for a few days, instead of every 4hrs. We did this, her waking through the night, and waited the week for the clinic sister's visit so that she could be weighed again. She said they should pick up about 100g a week, but our little darling has really over-achieved by picking up 400g in 6 days! We can see a little fat roll under her chin developing and her cheeks are much fuller as well. We're feeding her less now!
We managed a little family outing today with the pram - Half an hour walk to the shop and back. We were actually in search for a photo shop to get residence permit for her pics, with no success. I also think we over-did the dressing too, as the 5 layers of junpsuits, sleeping bag and padded carrycot inside the pram toasty kept her in the -2 degrees and chilly wind. She seemed quite happy though, and is still sleeping on the walk, although mostly unwrapped now :) It was really good for mom to get out a bit too as I've been rather flat-bound for the last while.

There've been a rough few days of nigglyness and unhappiness, but she sleeps well at night, so at least we feel we start each day a little fresher. She also has no problems feeding, and mom seems to be a rather good milk provider :)
Dad has spent most of the last week in official offices trying to get all her paperwork sorted out. She's a no-body on paper at this stage, not getting automatic Finnish citizenship, and it taking some time to get registered as a South African.
