Eyes open Ella

We were really lucky this morning when we visited J&J to find Ella awake and full of smiles (??) after the midwife's daily visit. J&J had just learnt that Ella had gained 120g in the barely 6 days since her birth, so things are going very well in the feeding department. It was great to see Jody looking better - regaining her colour, a bit more energy and hearing her laugh again. J&J's next project is to try to convince Ella to stay awake and have more feeds during the day and hopefully sleep more at night. We wish them all the best. J goes back to work tomorrow after his week as the "baby whisperer". He was cooking up a storm this morning getting meals ready for the week ahead.
We have enjoyed the most beautiful mild Autumn weather this week. Rob & I left home early this morning, picked up Granny and enjoyed shopping for all our fresh food at the Farmers Market at the Ainsworth St CIT building. It is great fun bringing home beautiful, locally grown, fresh produce. The pink lady apples are my favourite - and all chemical free.

We spent the afternoon yesterday with Claire and Jeremy and big O and little A. They have all had a stressful and worrying week with big O's eye operation and then a certain incident with 2 dogs on Friday. C&J were tired yesterday but both boys were full of fun and noise. Rob hung out with the big O and I tried to divert little A from his darling mummy when I could.
