1 month and 2 days old

Hello everyone!
Weekend come, weekend gone and no blog.....
What can I say????
I had plenty of spare time while I was in hospital, I was used to all the goings on.....
nothing which really prepared me how my life would be with Mama and Papa at home.....
It is all soooo different!!!!!!



Me excited and a bit scarred about going to my new home 29/12/2006









And if this is not enough, Mama and Papa got married the day after I arrived home!!!!
Not only that but they had also my sisters Caitlin and Elena, my Oma and Opa from Germany and Papa's best friend and man Olaf staying with them!!!!!
AND:
they had a party in my new home that evening with loads and loads of people I hadn't even heard of!!!!!!
My briefing about my Mama and Papa said that they are a bit odd at times......
I have to say, this was not odd but rather mad, really.....
Quite a few people at the wedding actually agreed with me....
Anyway, that said it was rather special, and perhaps they are not mad but only brave and adventures. I am so glad I made it to be there.....St Andrews it's called. I was good as gold, not a peep from me!!!! I couldn't see much, I was stuck in a pram. I could hear and feel a lot....
First there was Olaf playing the Pipes (a little bit loud for me)......"Here comes the bride" as Uncle Nicky lead Mama in.....
Then Mama and Papa were saying beautiful words to each other.
Even though I don't know their meaning....... it felt very special. I could hear angels singing, honest!

Lucca update

sorry.....
Life has been so crazy I did not manage to keep up my blog!
I plan to put on some pictures over the weekend....
Just quick telling you that I got to my new home at Mama's and Papa's house on the 29th, in perfect time to join them the next day on their wedding! I was so proud of them! We even had a party in our home the same evening. There is so much to tell....my two sisters Caitlin and Elena are going back to their mummy today....that should make it easier for me to write my story!
By the way
Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!

What I saw last night.....they call it a Christmas stocking and the teddy bear in it was for me....another friend. He also can sing. I love having so many friends.


Mama & Papa & big sister & me doing Christmas...actually them unwrapping lots of presents and me blissfully sleeping!










Then we went for a walk. Suddenly they took me out of my cosy warm pram and lay me down on prickly cold hay....I pretended to sleep but was a little scared....it was over very quick.....
What are my Mama and Papa up to???












Mama & Papa and tiny me in the pram
returning from our walk.

















I love sharing my cot with Max, especially when he sings me a lullaby...

This morning there was a strange smell by Mama...feeding was rather difficult....
usually it is yummy mummy milk smell
but Mama did something very odd with a couple of cabbage leafs....
I wonder why????
I told her " I don't like it!"


Had a nice cuddle with my big sister and my Papa.....
Later Papa told me off: Both Mama and big sister were upset....something to do with Christmas and being in hospital, I didn't understand it...because I was born early...I told Papa it wasn't my fault, honest..... I guess somebody has to take the blame.....so why not me? If it makes them happy.....bit strange, big people, aren't they???

The doctors decided I don't need the breathing monitor anymore....yippee...I told them, didn't I?!? The only thing to go now is the tube in my nose....can't wait....I already pulled it out myself....no point, they put it straight in again!


In the evening all felt a bit different....I wonder whether this has something to do with this Christmas thing??? Then Papa got sad, I think he was missing my sisters Caitlin and Elena....but hey, there is Lucca therapy.....I made him lie me on his chest and really snuggeld into him...that trick softens any heart, believe me!









One more strange thing happened:
as I was drifting off to sleep after a glorious feed ( no odd smell, Mama must have listened to me...) I saw a big red stocking by my cot with a teddy bear pooking out.....what is this about??? I hope to find out tomorrow.....

Me ready to go out into the big wide world with my new friend Morle. He came all the way from South Germany....

Tucked into loads of blankets....

First we went to see auntie Dolores

thats not fair!!!


















In my Papa's office

Mama reading my blog...

last night the TV was on for hours and hours...

Me and Mama didn't like it.....

Lucca 15 days old

Me without any tubes! Didn't last long and the nurse shoved one down my nose.....I still don't drink enough, so they say....And I say: watch the scale....put on 4! ounces over 2 days...


Had my first bath and hair wash today
Mama is so good and gentle with me....
still it was a bit scary....







Grandma daring to hold me.......
She came to pick Mama up
who's got "cabin fever"!?!
took her to the hairdresser to look more beautiful...
I don't know what that is about....how can my Mama look more beautiful???
Had great time with Papa
we both tried who can snooze better.....I won!
Papa was teasing Mama and said I wasn't missing her....
of course I did.....













Me relaxing on Papa's lap

Yep, thats me, except my right toes....
Still got a tube in my nose going into my belly and the blue one is checking me breathing...
I told them I wont stop, but do they listen???











The first time in the arms of my big sis
We both loved being so close
I felt so safe in her arms












Papa feeding me yummy mummy milk














long sleep on hairy chest with full belly....
















Mama & Papa & me are chuffed:
twice now I've been on Mama's breast without needing a tube top up....since Mama stopped her medicine the milk tastes so much better!!!
here you see me after my workout...












Full belly +
