Having been away for a couple of days to party on the Moor, she returned yesterday a little rounder than when she left. Sally’s party was followed by Gran’s, and so she also benefitted from peoples generosity as well.

Heidi had her visit to the doctors and health visitor today. Normal check up at six weeks to see how mum and baby are getting on. The health visitor checked her over and she is putting on weight quite happily by the look of it – 11lb 8oz this week.

This morning she was most smiley when I left her, on my way to work. The last few days have been hectic in the brain at work, but very little productivity - which is unusual for a sustained period.

Last night we had Simon and Hélène around for a quick barbecue. The weather was not too bad really other than we wore fleeces at one point. Heidi spent a long time having her cuddle with Hélène once back inside , and she responds really well now. Some fine wines were consumed.
