Master OhWaily joins the Family
Just a quick note that Master OhWaily joined our family on Tuesday 1st September, at 8:06 am.
It was a lovely spring morning, and he was greeted by the sunrise over Rangitoto. Yes, we had a delivery room with a view.
We have been getting to know each other this week, and big sister has been happily giving out kisses and cuddles as she feels like it.
However, after having two and a bit weeks of home help in the form of my Mum, I am about to move on to the fraught* topic of juggling a hugely energetic toddler who requires much attention with the needs of a newborn and his, primarily, hunger.
* credit goes to "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" and Rabbit for re-introducing the word fraught into my lexicon.
