Home safe and sound

It was an exciting day yesterday (Tues) when Gisele and I came home from hospital. I had a repeat experience of high blood pressure and an excruciating headache 4 days following the birth. Thankfully knowing that history meant I was able to get on some medication quickly and have it all resolved within 24 hours so I could still come home on schedule. YEAH!!!

Elise is very excited about her little sister. Whenever the baby is around she points continously at her in awe that she exists. Elise then runs to the nearest chair to sit down so she can have a nurse - very beautiful to see (hope it lasts!!) Nova was very excited for all of ten minutes then behaves as if Gisele has always been around. Apart from when she cries and then Nova jumps to attention and races to see if everything is ok - already very protective of the newest little member of the family.
We are so relieved our little treasure is here safe and sound. We are feeling very blessed to have a healthy beautiful baby girl. Gisele is a little night owl at present and a super feeder.
Thanks for all the love and good wishes. Gisele hopes to meet you soon.
