Year: 2007

We went walking to the Cambridge City Council in Cambridge to register the birth of our Louisa. The weather was lovely and we enjoyed the walk back home on the side of the river Cam. We had later the visit of Sarah & Andrew our Cambridge Medical students, they brought a nice card and gift […]

So here we are, few days after the birth of our little Louisa, enjoying the first days of parenthood. Since we came back from hospital, every minute has been really great! How life could bring you such happiness! Of course, we have to wake up during the night for feeding and cleaning Louisa, but it […]

It was a great surprise to see Lorraine again! She visited us today to check if everything was fine and to perform the newborn blood spot screening test on Louisa in order to identify rare but serious conditions like Phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, sickle cell disorders, cystic fibrosis and Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency.Alan helped Lorraine […]

We went back to the hospital, in the Lady Marie Ward, to have my blood taken for a test exactly 3 days after the injection of the anti-D to see if I still have some antibodies. The results are going to be available tomorrow on Monday afternoon.

It was great to spend this first night at home together. One of our community midwife came to check if everything was fine. She advised me to use lanolin cream for my sore nipples and explain me other breastfeeding positions. Her next visit will be next Monday as everything was fine. We returned to the […]

After night month… exactly 39 weeks + 6 days, only one day before the official due date! We are waiting our little one very happily and peacefully 🙂

Even if we don’t use the pool for the birth, we have a really nice “jacuzzi” and a nice pool for our little one. It took 45min to fill it up and almost 2 hours the next day to empty it. But I found it really relaxing and I am really looking forward to use […]

We met our new midwife Sue who is going to replace Michele. She did the usual check up and all was fine: baby heart beat, mum-to-be blood pressure and urine test. Our baby is still not in the best position… we are working on it to make her/him turns. We also talked about home birth […]
