100 days old!
I am still a regular contributor to the BabyExpert forums that I used whilst I was pregnant with Lily and today it tells me as I log in that Lily is 100 days old!Wow!
So what have we done on Lily's one hundredth day?
Well we spent the morning playing and reading- Lily wakes at around 6am, Daddy went off to work just before 8am and we had a bit more sleep. After getting up and having breakfast we went of to our Surestart Birth Days group which is for babies under 1 year and their Mummies. We meet with them every Wednesday. Whilst we were there Lily was weighed she is now 12lb8.5oz. We are now home and Lily has watched PINGU whilst Mummy tidies up, we are now playing and waiting for Daddy to come home in an hour or so.

Already 2 weeks old!
Tomorrow Lily will be 2 weeks old and I can't believe how much has happened since then! We have spent the past fortnight together as a family as Matt has had two weeks paternity leave and Lily really has been the centre of our world!
The first week was a bit of a blur for me especially up until the Thursday as I was so ill having lost 700ml of blood in labour; it wasn't until the Wednesday evening that it was made clear how poorly I was when the hospital asking me to come in for a blood transfusion the following morning! I thought I was just recovering from labour and it was normal to feel the way I was. After the 3 units of blood was given and a day spent on my own ward in hospital with Matt and Lily for company I was feeling much better- and have been going from strength to strength since!
Lily has been doing well - we have now been discharged from our midwife and are seeing our Health Visitor now who is coming to weigh and measure Lily again this Tuesday! The past few days we think Lily has been having abit of a growth spurt as she is very hungry but we have almost perfected the sleeping routine at night- Daddy is getting most but we will let him off as he is back to work tomorrow and he is always on hand to do his bit if Mummy gets really tired!
We are still managing to do our own things and Lily fits in around us. We have been out and about with Granny and Auntie Emily when they and Grandad Ian came to see us last Saturday and we have also been out with Nanny, Auntie Alice and Grandad Steve when they came to see us last Sunday- Lily was spoilt of both occassions...
Lots of people have been in touch and we have a mantle piece full of lovely cards and as you can imagine Lily is the luckiest little girl in the world with all the presents she has recieved!
Tomorrow as I mentioned is Matt's first day back at work, both Lily and I will miss him lots during the day but there will be plenty of time in the evenings for our little family. Nanny and Auntie Alice are coming to keep us company too tomorrow so I am sure we will have lots of fun!

Daddy's little girl
This morning when Matt and I were enjoying a lie in, Lily true to form decided that she wanted to say Hi and was kicking and wriggling like mad! It was one of those moments where I was so amazed and proud to have the two most important people in my life with me. She must have been kicking for a good 15 minutes and her Daddy's face was a real picture when she did one of the biggest kicks I have felt and Matt thought so too as a huge grin spread right across his face! Just an amazing moment for us both! I am truly very lucky.

10 Weeks and counting!
With just 10 weeks to go I am really starting to get excited about the arrival of Baby Lily. We have managed to buy most of the essentials for the first weeks/months and are slowly ticking off everything we planned to do in time for her arrival! I am now on maternity leave which is really ideal at this stage as I am finding that my movement and sleep is becoming limited with the growing bump. Still lots to look forward to in the final few weeks as just the two of us though; including a party/bbq for Matt's birthday in a few weeks and we are just going to enjoy the time we have together!
