Apparently since I got home my snoring has been waking my beloved up – so he says. Tuh! I don’t believe it. But I am sleeping well I have to say.
Last Tuesday Charlotte was born, weighing 7lbs 15oz and she is of course gorgeous. After all the dramas and worries of the past few weeks, it just seems so miraculous to finally hold her in your arms and look into those knowing blue eyes - as my mum would have said, “She’s been here before.”
We were going back to visit today, but now I’ve come down with a cold so I shall be staying at home and keeping my germs to myself, but I’m hoping to be germ free by the weekend.
I took my big notebook with me and in all the time I was away I think I wrote about six lines. But a rest from writing has been nice and I feel somewhat refreshed and recharged.
And now to catch up on all the blogs I’ve missed . . .
Hi Teresa
ReplyDeleteOh congratulations! There's nothing like the beginning of a new life is there?
Linda
Brilliant news. Hope your cold gets better soon so you can visit again x
ReplyDeleteLovely news. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMany congrats, Teresa - fantastic news! And wishing you better. x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that's lovely! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Teresa. Here's to little Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteAwwh, how lovely, Teresa! I like 'old' babies - ones who gaze at you so knowingly as if they have been here before.

That's wonderful news, Teresa. Charlotte sounds really adorable. I have a niece who right from the beginning I felt had been here before. And that hasn't changed in all these years.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely wishes. I'm just so glad I didn't have this flipping cold last week :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's right, David - those knowing babies never seem to change.
Congratulations, Teresa.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa. Congratulations on the birth of baby Charlotte. Caroline x
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, Teresa, and please give Baby Charlotte a cuddle from me when you can.
ReplyDeleteXX
Great news, Teresa. Charlotte's a lovely name. I recommend a hot toddy (for you, not Charlotte!).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Teresa - such lovely news! And welcome to the world, Charlotee! Glad all went well in the end and hope you're feeling better soon. x
ReplyDeleteOops! Sorry about the mispelling. About time I went to bed, I think! x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Teresa! Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - you're all lovely x
ReplyDeleteI think I'll take your advice about the hot toddy, Elizabeth :-)
congratulations! sometimes a rest fors you th world of good!x
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations, Teresa.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll be feeling a hundred percent soon.
Congratulations Grandma, (or is it Gran, Nan, Granny, or Nanny?) (Or, as I heard in the supermarket the other day, 'Mummy 2'!)
ReplyDeleteHope the cold gets better soon.
Thank you - the cold is definitely getting better, but now a bit has dropped off my car so I won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid it's Grandma, Simon. Nanny was already taken so I decided to be different, but I wish I'd just been Nanny 2 (or Mummy 2 - that's lovely). I've been Meema, Imma and my year old granddaughter calls me "Man-ma".
