Two weeks old and counting

We are gradually settling into being new parents...getting used to sleep deprivation, and living in something of a timewarp....all very surreal, but a unique time getting to know this new little creature. We are excited this week, as grandma and grandpa moore are flying all 3 of us to USA at the end of november so that ms sienna can meet them in North Carolina...this means that we are now having to sort out a passport for sienna, who has not yet been registered (next friday). I have been left hand typing (not at all easy) as Sienna has been feeding on my lap (her absolute favourite passtime, along with filling up her nappy!!).

Introducing Sienna Iona Aurora

We have finally decided on the names Sienna Iona Aurora. Little Sienna is settling in nicely into being alive and has had two trips out into the Liverpudlian universe, where she has been much admired. Sienna still has her granny staying and has had visits from her british grandad and one of her cousins. She has already put on half a pound in weight and is a happy little being....

The chronicles of baby Simmonds-Moore - new arrival!

Baby Simmonds-Moore has now arrived in the world. She was born on tuesday 14th August at 4.01 a.m. (a Leo baby) and is absolutely gorgeous. Her favourite passtimes are: sleeping, eating, being cuddled (currently by her granny!) and looking really pretty. We are still deciding on a name that captures her essence.....

Chronicles of baby Simmonds-Moore - overdue!

Officially overdue now. Hoping that things start happening soon as we would really like a home birth, and the powers that be want us to go into hospital if the baby is more than 10 days later than the due date. Feeling as though I am in limbo land, waiting, waiting, waiting....but glad for some extra time to relax before life gets really crazy. I am becoming amused by the number of text messages and emails asking if anything has happened yet - we will let you know, we promise!!!

The chronicles of baby Simmonds-Moore - due date!

Today is my official due date, and thus far nothing has happened. We are hoping that the baby decides to arrive in the next 10 days, else we are heading for a hospitalised birth. Fingers crossed. Feeling very excited about meeting little Simmonds-Moore now. We will keep you all posted of any news.....

The Chronicles of Baby Simmonds-Moore

Only 3 days to go now, and I think we are prepared for the event - physically if not psychologically. Have purchased all the essentials, including a car seat, which seems so bizarre with no creature yet. We also have an almalgamation of birth items, including The Mysterious Midwife Box lurking in the corner of the lounge in preparation for the homebirth.
We will post up any news as soon as we have some!!!! and Steve will be there with the digital camera to capture the first moments in the life of baby Simmonds-Moore.......
