Lucy 

Lucy has evacuated from her hideout as of 7.52pm on Sunday 15 August, we had a great birth at home in a birth pool with David delivering her and cutting the cord after a 6ish hour labour.

she wieighed 3375 grams or 7pound 4oz
Birth story is gonna be coming soon

reflection of the day;
some families, some parents/children just seem to differ in personalitys and characters that causes tensions,(as it does with any human beings) dosen't matter how much they love each other. This seem to be a fact of life, understanding of each other seems to iron over some of these most of the time, but not always,

The birth pool just got delivered to our place, it seems that the birth of our little sprog is not that far away at all. (the midwife thinks so anyway)
Bubba's got it's head way down and i'm getting heaps more preperation (Braxton Hicks contractions)
Looking around our home i feel completely confident in the fact that birthing the baby here surrounded by familar comforts and colour is where i feel most happy welcoming our baby into our lives.
So little one come on out of there and meet us face to face... love ya mamma

breastfeeding week 1-7 August 

In 2002, WHO and UNICEF launched the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding (1) which calls upon all governments and other actors: “to ensure that all health and other relevant sectors protect, promote and support exclusive breastfeeding for six months and continued breastfeeding up to two years of age or beyond, while providing women access to the support that they require – in the family, the community and the workplace – to achieve this goal”.
