Well, we are now officially parents to baby Mia who was born on 25th October 2009 at 2.22pm, weighing 7lbs and 3oz.
After a short stay in hospital Mum and Mia got home on Wednesday 28th October. Since then Mum and Dad have been settling into the new routines and trying to get our heads round the fact we are now parents! Last week there was no Mia, this week she is here and she is real and we are responsible for her - yikes!
To say that she is gorgeous is an understatement. In our eyes she is absolutely perfect. She is so cute and so very, very small.

Life has been pretty hectic since her arrival and we are trying to get our heads round feeding and sleeping patterns. It is all very new and a very steep learning curve! We do wonder if we will ever be able to leave the house again or how you are supposed to look after a baby when there is not 2 of you!!
I am sure it will all get easier and we will get into our own little routine. It is all so amazing, exciting, daunting, and so, so worth it! One look at her cute little face is enough to make us smile and remember how lucky we are to have her.
