Meeting my great niece for the first time.

This was an amazing experience, this bundle of joy lights up the lives of many without even knowing it.

She was a twin but the other baby died early on in the pregnancy, she was tiny when born 3 weeks early at 4lb 12 and only filled half the baby crib.

since then she has flourished, mum and dad cannot go shopping without wandering in the baby department and baby shops and always buying her something, little knitted sweaters, booties, tiny socks, books, and last week dad bought the entire Beatrix Potter book collection for when she is older.

She can put a smile on peoples faces just by saying her name LEXI......( i'm smiling now)

Meeting her for the first time since she was born was exciting, i fed her, winded her, cuddled her, and loved every minute of it, she is the most placid baby, never whinges and rarely cries, what a joy, something our family have waited a long time for as mum and dad had two boys and my brothers wife had two boys and my nephew and his lovely girlfriend produced the first little girl.

God Bless you Lexi, and i wish you a happy. healthy and prosperous life. You will always be in mine whatever happens.
