Would you look at what you did to your poor mother?
Well okay, technically *you* didn’t do that, but it was in aid of your extraction! Please admire the corrugated bruises, and I’m reliably informed there’s a hole under that cotton wool o.O
As your mummy and I share a dislike of cameras, this is all I got of her, except for where she photo-bombed the bits around you ;o)
So, newest member of Brit Bee, The Next Generation, here’s a few things about your 3rd whole day in the world, and what happened when this huge, loud person invaded your space and accused you of looking like Winston Churchill. William Hague was also mentioned, but we all decided to back away from that one ;o)
- You definitely do not like having your nappy changed. When I arrived, daddy was attempting this feat while you screamed the place down. You apparently have a lot more kick today than you had yesterday, you’re going to be a feisty one! Just to make your point you peed on daddy and your bed. He won’t be doing that again in a hurry ;o)
- On night #2 you tortured your mummy all night, screaming and screaming. By the way you’ve settled down here for a lengthy nap, we suspect you might have been psyching yourself up for another midnight round!
- Having tortured mummy all night, you then decided to torment her all afternoon by not settling down for a good feed. Granny got a share of that action too, weren’t you generous!
- You like coorying down in the oddest of places for a nap. In the photos here, you’re under mummy’s arm down her right hand side, with your feet in her oxter! You weren’t very happy when daddy finally extracted you again, but decided it was okay as long as you could lie on top of mummy
- Mummy keeps trying to smooth out the frown at the top of your nose. Right enough that will relieve the Winston Churchillness quite a lot, but it’s not happening just yet!
- I think we decided you had daddy’s nose, and your hair is about the same colour as mummy’s. You’ve got long legs though, so we reckon Uncle Nick contributed that a bit as mummy and daddy are, um, vertically challenged. As for your freaky same-length toes, well, that’s all you kiddo!
I’m assured that next time round you’ll be far more entertaining, and that you’ll hopefully be back on the mainland for good at that point. Unfortunately you can’t get up the A9 quite as fast as you can up the A90 ;o)
In the meantime, twist that bear’s tail for me, and be good to your mummy and daddy. Well try not to keep peeing on daddy anyway, otherwise he’ll be all stinky, and try and let your mummy get some sleep!
Congratulations!
awww, she's so cute! But what the hell is an oxter? Sounds very rude!
You have to pee on daddy when he first attempts the dreaded nappy change, it's the rules!!
What. A. Cutie. Nice to hear she's a wee charmer, too. Heh heh. I'm also wondering who else will question what an oxter is!! It *could* be a bit rude sounding, I guess. :0)
Thanks for the photos Katy, and the full report.
Oxter? Nice pics but I couldn't work out what the first one was until I read down. I actually thought you'd sewn through your finger in a quilting accident!
Aww cute little baby!!
I'm used to using dictionary 🙂 Here you go> Oxter = Scot and Irish and Northern English the armpit 🙂 She looks so sweet when she sleeps. I hope she sleeps more so you can get some rest too.
ha ha ha what a great introduction!
Let it be noted that auntie katy did not get sceamed at, or puked/peed on. Sucess! Xxxxxx

What a cutie: great post Katy. Hope Sarah is managing a bit more sleep!!
Its first baby syndrome, they think they can get away with it lol! Our first wouldn't sleep in his hospital "bed" either. I recommend popping a hot water bottle into the moses basket/cot when doing a night feed/nappy change when you're home so it keeps it warm before putting her back to bed (obv. don't leave it in with her though). She is a cutie and her hair is gorgeous.(I remember somebody once saying that all babies look like Winston Churchill or Uncle Fester when they're born ?)
Sounds like an ordinary day in the nursery, new babies make themselves known. I am so glad you were able to visit them.
Ha, ha ! All these Southerners need a dictionary. Very cute baby, congrats to Sarah and hubby
Precious little one…..the adult commentary…..well let's leave that alone for the time being…..
Aww adorable! He's so cute and i could stare at baby hands forever!
Oh the precious little bundle. Aunty Katy didn't get pee'd in because she didn't hold you .
You are so beautiful little baby.
Such a cutie. Excellent use of both oxter and coory!
If Daddy thinks that getting pee'd on is bad, tell him to just wait until she starts doing things in the bath!
She truly is cute – Anwen just ran over and said "ahhhh, who owns that, she so cuuuuute"
I hope that Sarah's looking after herself, getting over a c section takes quite a while, and shouldn't be rushed x
Congratulations. She looks so cute, butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Mommy are you telling us porkies. LOLLLL Enjoy, it won't last forever. My first was a nightmare, I thought I'd given birth to satan LOLLL now she's my best friend and the kindest and most sensible person you could know. Sensible she got from her dad LOLLL
Thanks for sharing!! She's beautiful!!
Oh….what a sweetheart!
So lovely! Cute post for Sarah's cutie 🙂
Oh what a hilarious run down of Day 3! What a sweet thing babies are when they are asleep!
Congrats, Sarah! I'm so very happy for Sarah and the start of her new family. Thanks for all of the news and great photos, K!
What a good friend you are to drive so far in one day to visit sweet Molly and her parents
What a lovely photo of Molly and Sarah's side/arm! Her bruise is impressive, though – hope it (and her scar!) heal quickly!
P.S. Did I read that correctly? They're moving to Planet Mainland?! Yippeeeeeeeee!!!
She's gorgeous! And sounding like a determined person all of her own already. Well done for getting up to visit. Sounds like there may be a move planned – anywhere mainland has to be easier than Shetland! Juliex
Just sat here sporting the 'knowing smile of a a mum of 3'!
Adorable…I think Miss Molly is showing them who's the boss!
Welcome Miss Molly, adorable. Lovely report and great to hear about the move!!
Lovely photos and hope things settle down, mum goes through the whole birth thing and just when you need a few days rest you have to look after a baby!
Oxter a common word where I come from
haha, I'm with Hadley. Thanks for the update, she is gorgeous and I hope her mammy is doing ok, childbirth 1st time round is a shocker.
Thank you so much for the report & especially the photos! Tried to login to instgram but gave it up as I am a luddite LOL.
I can only add relax & enjoy her, she is gorgeous.
Love
Lush x
Well done Sarah! Cute, cute, cute!!!
