6 Weeks & Counting

Unbelievable eh? Here we are again talking about another week passing in Amelia's life. I can't quite believe how quickly the time is whizzing past now given the torture of the first few agonising hours and days. The thought that we could be halfway there and that she might come home soon is incredible.

It may seem odd to some people given the trauma and turmoil we've had over the past six weeks but at this stage it is quite easy to be blase about the situation. After all Amy is busy sleeping and growing without any ill-effects and all medical reports are that she's doing spectacularly well. Perhaps it's the pessimist in me then that it always still waiting for a fall of some kind. Perhaps it's just that we were warned what a long journey this is for all concerned and that there could always be some bad news just around the corner. Isn't that true for all parents of new children though? Perhaps I should take heart in the fact that Amelia has fought harder than I could have possibly hoped for to get this far after such a shocking start to life and that she has a will and determination to get the rest of the way.

51 days and boy am I counting.
