Meeting Aunty Kris for the first time

Mieke in the shower.

What a cutie...............

Mieke the water baby

Mieke is a real water baby, she loves being in the bath and absolutely adores the shower.

Time for some arty B&W's

Hand made felt plushies from the neighbours

Who thought we'd have such lovely neighbours in the inner city. How cool are these!

Second baby arrives home

Spencer the Meister Mechanic has done a beautiful job on the engine and brakes. Couldn't help but drive it home this morning. Got two blocks down the road before a kid in the car next to me started taking photos on his mobile and giving the thumbs up.
Only the interior and electrics to go!

A bit of an update......

Well it is nice to be home. We had a bit of a set back just before leaving hospital with Mieke developing jaundice. She had to have 3 blood tests over 3 days to check her bilirubin levels. They were quite high and as a consequence Mieke had to spend 24 hours in a phototherapy unit. She was in a humidicrib with uv lights on her to help her liver break down the bile. Needless to say it was pretty upsetting, but she is now doing really well and putting on weight.

We are slowly settling into a routine. Mieke is feeding every 4 hours and at the moment is sleeping really well between feeds.

It has been great to have Sam home, but he is heading back to work on Thursday.

It has been great hearing from everyone. Thanks so much for all the cards, pressies and good wishes. Look forward to catching up soon.
