Baby W.

my nextdoor neighbour had her baby boy exactly a month after our Ava was born....he also weighed exactly the same as what Ava did...it made me realise how big she had already grown!

I have so many favourites from this newborn shoot...I just couldn't narrow it down any further! so sorry for the photo overload! :)

Ava Grace...

....so most of you know by now that I had my baby...she was born 31st July weighing 6pd 7ounces...my smallest yet.

Ava was born with Down Syndrome. Although it was unexpected, having grown up around a few Down Syndrome kids, I was excited for the difference she would make to our little family. She was in NICU for 2 weeks...she's now home with us and doing well, although there will be ongoing medical checkups with her heart condition. We are very excited to have her as part of our little family and her big brother and sister absolutely adore her! I've included two of my favourite photos of her - unfortunately by the time she came home she was too alert to do one of those nice peaceful sleeping shots that you see of newborns!! She wasn't having a bar of it!
