We adore her. We value her, treasure her, encourage her and, well, LOVE her!
Since she has been born we have thanked God every day for this wonderful bundle of joy. She really is exactly what we hoped for! During our pregnancy we prayed every day for her, and we told the bump that 'it' would be peaceful, enjoy company, be a good sleeper and love life! All of these things are so true for baby Bethany. Each day and night are a real joy as she fulfils the things that we prayed over her little life.
A quick update(although you know I could talk forever about her!)
Feeding: Like a dream, loves milk.....
Awake: Loves being with people, talked to, cuddled, sung to, danced with, played with, creating surreal worlds to invade with daddy, clothes shopping with mummy(oh wait, she slept through that!)
Sleep: Fantastic at present she is sleeping. She has started to like to sleeping at night only, however I am NOT complaining. She sleeps for 7-9 hours and if we all time it right then she can do 10pm-7pm. My baby girl is perfect! Note, I would love her all the same if she awoke more often, then I'd get more cuddles!

We have had a very busy week. Ryan went back to work on Thursday and I had so many visitors. Although I did manage to bake some delicious cupcakes for them while Aunt Elle had Bethany sleeping on her lap. sweet! We went on a mummy and baby outing in the car(first one!) and we both came back fine, laden with beautiful bedding for the new, hand crafted, solid oak cotbed that Oupie made[Ryan's Dad]. It has been a great week, I cannot imagine life without her or even going back to work - as the teachers are doing on Monday.
I was reading this the other day, and all I could think about is, this is for Bethany: Psalm 71,
O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I’ve trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.
No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many,
because you have been my strength and protection.
That is why I can never stop praising you;
I declare your glory all day long.
A very happy mummy xxxx
