This time I didn’t quite manage to sleep through: I got Mum up at 2 for a feed, and then slept till 6.30. Jutta came to see me again, and then it was time for another big event in my life: my first bath, which of course I had in the…kitchen! It was the only place where a surface of sufficient height could be found, but I didn’t mind that at all, because I enjoyed myself. Soon I’ll be able to have baths with Dad, but till then I’ll be happy to get clean in my own little bathtub.

Lotte and Hannes (and of course Anton!) left around midday, after a lovely four days. I’ll miss having such a lot of attention, but it will be good to have some time just with Mum and Dad. I think Anton will miss me a lot though; throughout his time here he spent a lot of time checking on my wellbeing. Findus, on the other hand, is taking a little more time to get used to me, but today he came onto the bed and sniffed me of his own accord. I think he likes me, but he’s just taking his time to really get to know me. Fair enough: I can’t have a magical effect all the time!

In the afternoon we had our first walk outside as a family. We only went to the local kindergarten to drop off the application form, and then back home (stopping to get a few baby supplies on the way), but that was more than enough for Mum. She needs to keep as much strength as she can to feed me after, all!

Findus left at seven in the evening for his usual three days with Chris, and will be back on Monday night.
