All about Liberty
Liberty has wriggled and gurgled since the day the day she was born! She loves to chat to her favourite toy Charlie the catapillar and loves to have a nose on whats going on around her.
She loves to lie on her side and to be swaddled up so sleeps on her own in her moses basket as Isabella kicks the covers off if they share a cot! She loves cuddling up to her sister and especially like to nibble any part of Isabella that is near to her mouth!
Liberty loves her bottle and drinks very fast. She hates to have a dirty nappy and soon lets us know if she is not happy about anything.
Liberty now weighs a lovely 7 lb 3 oz double her birth weight.

All about Isabella
Isabella is a really chilled out laid back baby! At 8 weeks old she now weighs 7 lb 12 and 1/2 which is just about what mummy weighed at birth!
Isabella only cries when she is hungry or wants a little cuddle. She likes her bottle but takes a long time to feed, I think she enjoys every drop lets hope this continues when she is sipping her wine in later years! At the moment she is sleeping on her own in our room in a cot, she likes to be spread out with her arms in the air unlike her sister.
Isabella gave mummy some lovely smiles on Tuesday morning! She is very alert and looks all around but is very quiet.
Here are some pics of our little girl chilling out at home and with her boyfriend Barney Ford.

Mummy update
Thought it was time for an update from me! Well what can I say apart from wow! Motherhood is all I expected and more. I am enjoying every minute with the girls (well the nights can be hard!). So far 'double trouble' has not been much trouble but perhaps ask me again in a few months time. All my helpers are being fantastic, the Mum's and Dad's are on call whenever I need them which is great and friends that come over have been a great help washing up, feeding the girls etc.
We are managing to get out and about quite a bit. We get lots of attention everywhere we go, everyone wants a peek at the girls. We are getting to know some other local Mums and babies at 'mother and baby group' which is good as I do miss work for the adult company, gossip and laughs!
Daddy Dan is a wonderful Father and doesn't even complain when Mummy plays dead soldiers in the night and he has to feed a baby then get up for work the next morning! He is a real hands on Dad and gets on with the feeding, nappy changing and all that comes with baby care without any problem at all.
As for me I never thought I'd say this but I am missing work a little bit! Miss the laughs and company of my friends! I'm also itching to have a girlie night out and be 'me' for an evening although once I am out I know I will miss the girls (and Dan of course!) so much.

Sisters
We have now reached our due date, 2nd July! We have had a very busy few weeks with lots of visitors and trips out. Last week we went to Canary Wharf to Mummy's work Credit Suisse and we also went to Auntie Lisa's work whilst we were there. We also visited all the pregnant ladies at Mummy's old yoga class.
Mummy has been putting us together for cuddles and last night we spend our first night in a cot together! (Liberty loves it so much she tries to eat Isabella when they cuddle up together!!!!)
Here are some pictures of us together.
