1 week old - all about Olive

Her full name is Olive Joy Hockly. 
She was born at 00.59 on Tuesday 9th of July.
She laughed! When babies are just in the first stages of sleep they look like they are in a dream state, their faces move, their eyes flutter, they can get a bit breathless and they break out into beautiful smiles. It is so much joy to watch. They are often called windy smiles and that may be all they are but boy do they make me wonder if God whispers memories to babies before they're born. I don't say things like that lightly, hormones do though perhaps... Olive said hahaha, hahaha during this state on Saturday night!!
Olive was 53 cm long at birth.  She doesn't fit half her newborn clothes...
She was 4.165 kg at birth so she feels a bit like a month old baby in my arms. 
At one week old Olive weighs 4.16kg. Feeding her is going great. Winding and settling her is sometimes great, other times...
She has a roll on the back of her neck already!
Like her big sister, to be awake is to be hungry. Goodbye jaundice! Get ready world!
