Well actually, both my life and Chien-yu's life. Mother and baby came back home on Saturday the 6th November. Everything was ready at home, the cot, the heating was on and the nappies were ready. We thought we were prepared......and we were so not prepared. Just the other day, I had to bath baby Amelie. It was stressful. Amelie really doesn't like her baths, so it had to be done quick... 10 minutes flat. Chien-yu and I have also lost a lot of sleeping hours too.

I am so proud of our little baby and of course even more proud of Chien-yu who brought the baby to this world. I had taken some photographs not along after baby Amelie was born. Click on the links below to see the pictures. I will add some more as and when I get them onto the computer. Also, they may take a little while to download because the files are pretty big. Catch you all soon, I have a lot of fathering to do now. Photograph 1 Photograph 2 Photograph 3 Photograph 4 Daddy Steve.
