We are all doing really well; Ruby is putting on weight (over her birth weight already) and sleeping lots while Milo continues to be interested in her rather than jealous of her. He likes to give her cuddles, although Ruby is not so sure!
Got a quiet day to ourselves today after a week with parents....really enjoying that but not looking forward to having to reacquaint ourselves with the kitchen!
We all had a lovely Christmas. Milo has been spoiled rotten and can't decide which toy is best - the train set or the fold away fire engine.

Ruby is now settling in at home with the rest of the family. Milo is being an absolute star, wanting to cuddle and kiss her and give her drinks. He has also spent some time telling her the different types of bell noises there are and the rest of the time acting as if she has always been here. We are however assuming that this could all change at any given moment!
Ruby is a little jaundiced and therefore sleepy but other than that she is doing really well and is the most beautiful girl in the world.
Steve and I are a little jaded but are being looked after by Liz and Pete, so are at least able to concentrate on the kids for now.
And on that note I am going to retire.......leaving you with a couple more pics.

The new addition to the aulman family is...a girl! Ruby Aulman weighed in at a whopping 8lb 10ozs and was born at 6:43am today. Both Kate and Ruby are well and are enjoying a deserved rest.

Monday and Tuesday this week saw a visit from the lovely Christa and her gorgeous girl Morwenna. It was really good to catch up with an old friend and get to know her daughter. Milo was rather unsure of Morwenna at first, spending his time being very possessive of his toys and books on Monday evening. By Tuesday morning it was all rosy again and he reverted to his charming self, planting kisses on Morwenna before leaving for nursery.

I have now finished work and am enjoying a bit of time to myself while Milo is in nursery. The bump is (amazingly) still getting bigger and I have to say I am ready for it to be born! Am still waiting to see if the pineapple I ate earlier is going to have any effect......

We had a fab weekend catching up with friends from the Alton area. Wonderful hospitality from Suzanne and Toby (thank you) and great company from them and Dave and Emily. The kids had a ball racing around with Ella's toys and Milo spent a lot of his time seeking kisses from the girls - much success with Ciara but Ella remained elusive.... It was amazing to see the three children playing together; when we parents all met they were just bumps!
