uncle alan

my brother Alan came to visit today for a wee while. It was great to see him and Rachel loved his singing! Hope it wont be long till we see him again ;-)
Rachel had her first trip to ikea today - i could tell she was gutted she was too wee for the ball pool. she had a shot in one of the cots though!
The health visitor was round today an she has put on weight - she's now 3.44kg (thats 7lb 8 to the rest of you). im so pleased shes been putting on weight despite vomiting most of her feeds.
As for my news... I have my mum over for a few weeks so the house is being kept tidy and clean. its great to have her around. Jamie started back to work yesterday :-( poor Jamie.

ickle feet

i have put some pics on my bebo site - http://bebo.com/weeali8
i havent worked out how to turn them round yet or how to upload from the proper camera so im afraid you're stuck with my phone photos. this is one taken when in hospital. Rachel loves to lie with her feet in the air. its very bizarre but very cute.
we're getting more used to having her around although her recent hobby of projectile vomiting after every feed is getting a little tiresome - especially at 4.30am when shes chucked her milk all over her bed. great!

yay! she's here!!

little miss rachel hope wilson has arrived in the world

apologies for the lack of blogging (although i know you have all loved looking at the pic of our car!).
i will try and fill you in on what you've missed another time when im not so tired - give it 18 years or so.

she was born on the 1st june - 2 weeks early because of my preeclamsia. we got out of hospital last wednesday. granny wright came to visit for the weekend (and she did lots of housework too :-) Aunty Elaine (Jamies sister) was over form switzerland for a day or two. Rachel also had her first visit to church which was a little overwhelming... for me!

jamie is off work for another week and a half. he's got a gig on monday in glasgow so he's practising for that.

i have lots of catching up to do with lots of people - will hopefully get more sorted soon - just managing from feed to feed at the moment. thankyou to everyone for their love and prayers and cards and pressies
