Milestones

For Mother:

I have been told to start exercising gently to hasten my recovery. Yesterday I walked for seven minutes up the road and back - today it was ten! I could feel that my back and stomach muscles were working too. Yesterday was also my first day out of maternity clothes (although I wore one of my larger pairs of hipster jeans).

I seem to be able to cope with the waking schedule so long as I have one good sleep during the day. Luckily I achieved that around lunchtime today.

For Orla:

Daddy gave Orla her first bath at home today. After some initial protests, she really enjoyed floating in the the warm, deep water. Orla also enjoyed wearing her first pair of cloth nappies today (fuzzibunz extra small size).
