Anyways, at the moment all is going well. Niamh has undergone the parental horror that is the Guthrie test (aka Drive By Slashing) and all seems to be well, and currently we are surrounded by hordes and hordes of mustard filled nappies! I would like to take this time to point out that I am crap at changing nappies ... one unexpected wriggle and its game over for me! GEM!
Gem is doing fantastic at breast feeding, its amazing really to see how a womans body works! It is an utter piece of genius, makes us men look shite!
One strange thing however, is that when we bathed Niamh for the first time we noticed little lumps underneath each of her nipples. A quick search on the web told us that these are 100% normal and are in fact breast tissue that is already beginning to grow.
It turns out that as Niamh was in the final stages of the pregnancy, she was shot up with a load of oestrogen and her body underwent the changes that are required to be a lady! The even stranger thing is that these little bumps can produce milk!!!! Baby girls that breast feed can produce milk from their nipples which is known as Witches Milk!
Sounds like a Red Hot Chili Peppers album to me!
Anyways, cue cute photograph of Niamh in a towel!

Oh, she's beautiful. Nappies sound horrible, but I suppose that comes with the whole baby thing. :) One thing I like about my dog, is that he was potty-trained in about a week!
How are the grandparents enjoying the new addition to the family?
