Day 12 in the house of girls. Parkes' mobility is really good now but she still has some way to go before she is fully functional. Emily is up once in the night for a feed then goes back to sleep - what a result!

Beth getting reacquainted with baby toys.

Today is Emily's due date. She and her mother are making good progress. We are getting sleep (at the moment!), Parkes is slowly getting the hang of the feeding, and is beginning to become more mobile. Emily is doing what she does best: feeding and sleeping. Beth is back at school and I am off work and able to help with the school-run.

Casualty.

Last pic of Parkes before baby came. Nice big bump but small baby.

Emily Grace Stringer

Our little girl has found her first day in the big, wide world far too tiring.

Beth and her sister!

Dr Stringer will see you now.

Birth News

Parkes took a call from QEQM hospital today and was told that the baby will be delivered, by c-section, on 15th February. Assuming that nature doesn't give baby a nudge before that date, it will mean that all of the Stringer grandchildren will have been born on parents birthdays. Beth was born on Parkes', Nat born on Rosie's and new baby born on mine!! I was feeling a little left out until now!
