Finally...

Well, I finally did it! I finally made the time to start my blog.
I'm afraid there will be nothing profound this time around, as I am pretty tired (just put my precious 6-week-old down for a nap).
I had my 6 week postnatal checkup today, which was non-eventful, although it was kind of bittersweet. It was lovely to see Dr Lam, who is just the most fantastic obstetrician ever (not that I have a frame of reference, but he was pretty great), and Shelley, the wonderful midwife who works with him. It is a bit of a shame that we won't see them again for a while ...well, hopefully sometime in the first half of next year. Come on, I'm 31, if I plan on having a few kids we probably should have a little brother or sister for the lovely Miss Jessica pretty soon!!! I wonder how obstetricians and midwives cope with their patients bonding with them. Or perhaps not many/all of them do. It must be amazing to be a part of such a profound part of a family's life.
I finally took some pics of Jessica today - she was a bit sleepy, and I am still trying to learn how to use this fancy schmancy camera optimally, so the results weren't that great. The lovely Matthew bought me such a great camera (a Canon EOS 350d if anyone's interested), and I haven't had time to learn how to use it!
I wanted to spend some time here trying to describe how amazing being a Mum is, although (again due to the tiredness) if I attempted it now I would probably just sound all sloppy and cliched. Needless to say, I am so excited each morning when I wake up and realise that we get to spend another day with our daughter. She is just the most precious gift we could ever have been given.
