MEETING BABY ROSA, "HELLO GRANDPA"

We are still on cloud 9 here . . . 

. . . a little life has entered the world . . . a life with some of our genes in her make-up, which will live on and on in future generations.  Quite a thought.

Today was Selina's and Matt's third wedding anniversary and boy what a present they almost had on it ~ this little bundle of joy arrived one day, but just 4 hours before it.

Let me introduce you to Rosa, one day old and practically perfect in every way . . 

And here is her Mum, Selina, who looks remarkably fit and well after the birth. She always was strong and fit was my girl.

. . . and the proud dad, Matt, a gentle man who will make a great father, as indeed will Selina be a fine mother.

. . . . . "Hey !!  . . . . let me have a cuddle ! Come to Grandpa!"

I managed to stop her crying and to rock her to sleep and the others were amused at me making baby noises . . . but Rosa seemed quite happy with Grandpa . . .  and didn't mind the 'pass the baby' game at all.

Matt's mother, Sue, came with me to see our grand daughter and we are so proud of her.

Nanna loved her to bits as soon as she saw her, as did Grandpa.

"Cuddle me some more please, Nanna" . .

"Nappy changing time, Daddy! . . . come on, do your stuff!"

Meanwhile Mummy has no baby so she has to make do with a teddy bear . . 

Grandpa suggested she should have had quads so we could have had one each . . . 



Almost time to go . . . . some parting shots.

"Hey Mum, my turn!"

"Well done girl, I am really very proud of you!"

And so ended a beautiful visit and first encounter with Rosa. Wonderful day.

Selina is staying a second night at the hospital so that she and baby get the breast feeding right ~ they are almost there. 

And as for you, little Rosa, I can't wait to see you again and to introduce you to toddler Peter.

I'll get back to the wedding subject next post.
