baby Louis at 3 days old, firstborn of our dear friends, Daniel and Rita. After picking the girls from school, the whole family went to meet the new baby. The new mum looked amazing! Bright and chirpy, showing no signs of fatigue, she didn't look like she had just given birth a mere few days ago. Blessed with a short delivery (she went from 4cm dilated to 10cm within 1/2 hr), she went about tending to the needs of the baby, making us tea and chatting with us. I marvelled at how she was able to walk around and sit just like normal, no difference from when I met her a week ago before the delivery. I was sore for about 2 weeks after my deliveries and had to sit on the 'surgi-float'. She is one lucky mum!
The girls were excited to see the baby and Lavigne kept wanting to stroke him. Adrian and I had to keep reminding her to handle the baby gently as he's a real baby and not her toy baby at home. The handsome little boy was good as gold. He hardly cried while we were there and slept soundly when Rita put him down in the moses basket. Oh I just love newborns!
