Mia is here
At 7:45am on May 4th 2010, Mia Leia-Rose Juffs was born!

She weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce, Lily was 7 pounds 2 ounces.

Here she is dressed in the spotty sleep suit - the same that Lily wore back in 2008!

Anneka is recovering a lot quicker than last time and was very happy, especially as the 2nd stage of labour lasted only 20 minutes!

After phoning around family and friends to let them know Mia had arrived, I brought Lily to the hospital to meet her new Baby Sister, Mia.

She was fascinated and has become very protective of her.

The following morning, after only a few hours sleep we had a family cuddle!
Mia is very healthy and feeding well. She's starting to open her eyes, but is spending most of the day sleeping! We'll keep you updated of Mia and Lily's progress.

38 weeks
We are nearing the end of my 2nd pregnancy so its all getting very exciting but also frustrating as I am finding that I am analysing every niggle and thinking is this it? We are hoping this time round that I can have a home birth- we all booked for one but due to my complicated first labour and afterbirth we are very open minded and know that there may be a chance we end up at the hospital too! On Monday I had a growth scan and little Mia Leia-Rose is currently weighing in at about 6lb 6oz so Mummy really hopes she comes soon as her big sister only weighed 7lb 2oz at birth dead on 40 weeks!
We think Lily is excited to be a big sister- most mornings she likes to cuddle Mummy's tummy and asks "Mia come out soon please?"
The count down is on and we really can't wait...come on little Miss we want to meet you!!!

Mia's 4D Scan
In March 2008 we had a 4D scan for Lily at Baby Debut in Taplow. During January this year, we decided to get another scan for our 2nd Baby - this time in Lincoln at Brayford Studio.
The facilities were fairly similar and the scan itself resulted in great pictures and the sexing of Baby Mia Leia-Rose Juffs!
In the 2nd picture, Mia looks remarkably like her big Sister - Lily:

And to this day, Lily still resembles her 4D scan pictures. So if you're contemplating a 4D scan in additional to the usual one(s) offered by the NHS, then we'd highly recommend investing in one.

Version 2 is live
Tonight we've released the second version of Baby's first blog, which is appropriate considering we're also expecting our second daughter - Mia Leia-Rose to arrive by May 7th 2010!
We'll be posting more updates during this year, including many more pictures and hopefully some videos.
Baby's first blog is the fourth site to use SlickCMS, having previously been powered by WordPress.
