Nechomo Dina

It is my, delayed, pleasure to announce the birth of our daughter, Nechomo Dina. She was born 6 weeks early on 5/4/07, first day Chol HaMoed Pesach, at 16:42 and weighed 3 lbs. 12 oz. (1.7 kg). That means we now have two Pesach babies. One more and that will make a chazaka!

Despite her early arrival, she is progressing well. As of today, she has returned to birth weight. She has moved from an incubator in intensive care to a cot in high dependency.

AT has so far adapted well to his new role as big brother. On visits to see her he has been well behaved. Admittedly he spent one visit trying to talk to the wrong baby! Also very relevant is the fact that since Dina isn't home yet, she isn't direct competition.

2nd Birthday

AT is now 2. On his eruv Pesach birthday he got cards and a presents from us. Three days later he got another present, his sister!!

His party had already been planned for today so we decided it should go ahead. This year, following the success of last year, was another soft play party. This time at the newly opened Antz in your Pantz. Great fun was had by all, especially the parents on the "astro-slide".

Following the fun, everyone enjoyed some snacks and we sang happy birthday as AT was given his cake, kindly baked by a friend, due to circumstances beyond Ma's control making it hard for her to bake it!

Special thanks go out to Grandma for helping me pack food boxes and party bags last night.
