BACK HOME!

Hello everyone........

I took this photo of my darling daughter Kerry and "little man" yesterday.  I just loved the way she was looking at him at that moment.

Today she and Roman came home.   Marshall WENT home and peace has descended on my home once again!  It turns out that Roman was born on M`s birthday, and I always thought that it was the 27th, after all these years that I`ve known her!   She and her hubby, M, have bought a present back for me and another for Kerry.  They bought me a beautiful frame to put a photo of Roman in.

Slava came and collected me at 2pm and we went to the hospital to gbring them both home.  I took the above photo of Roman`s first time in outdoor clothes. The big outdoors meant nothing to him however, as he slept through the entire event, not  waking on his arrival home, not even when he was undressed and laid in his moses basket.  Me thinks Little Man is going be a contented baby ( she says with fingers firmly crossed!)

I stayed there until 5pm, tidying away Kerry`s hospital things and sorting out her washing.  My son Danny turned up with flowers and a big Teddy that he and his gitlfriend bought from a shop where you stuff your own teddy bear.  They give you a little heart and you place it inside, making a wish for the baby, then you fill it with stuffing and then a machine stitches it up for you.  You get a `passport` with it`s photograph on it and it`s `family` history!  When you squeeze it`s paw it plays a lullaby..... it`s very cute, but very like Danny to do something like that, he`s so proud to be an uncle.

When I got home I made us all a chicken korma, knowing that neither Kerry or Slava would cook today.  Kerry may be home but she is obviously very tired and sore still and I have ordered her to rest when Roman is sleeping.  I know she didn`t need telling more than once!  They were very pleased with her at the hospital and she has to go back on Tuesday to have the stitches removed. Also she has to take Roman to the hospital to have a vitamin A injection.  I have no idea why babies have them but I`m sure it`s good for them.  Also he had a BCG injection today against TB.  Another thing I didn`t know that babies had, but apparently it`s because we are classed as inner city....we are nowhere near the city, but again, I`m sure it must be a good thing!

I`ll be up early again tomorrow, piles of ironing to do in the morning, and later my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are visiting Kerry and Slava and my presence is required by Kerry.  It should be a nice leisurely sfternoon though with good company.  Up until now Jim has been going to the hospital in the morning as he is on late shift, at least now he only has to walk across the road to see Kerry and Little Man.  I must explain, I started calling Roman `Little Man` almost straight away and it seems to have stuck, so he`ll probably be stuck with his man nanna calling him that forever!

Thank you all so very much for your congratulations on our becoming grandparents.  I have passed on all your good wishes to Kerry and Slava and they are very grateful to you all, and have asked me to pass on their thanks.  Also many thanks to my dear friends JEANNETTE and SARA for linking their journals with mine on that special day.

I just have to go now, but before I do, I HAVE been reading journals but I just don`t have time to read them all everyday.  I don`t always leave comments either but be assured that I am doing my best to keep up with all your news.  Take care all of you and have a lovely weekend.
